I am asking FReepers to join me in prayer for Emily, whose husband was killed in an accident on the oil rig on which he was working. She is left with their two year old and is on her way to Wyoming to make arrangements.

The 3 Labs are acting wound up and playful @ 2am. Unusual for them behaviour at this time of morning/middle of the night. Anyone else have pets acting oddly in the PNW or West coastal areas right now? I can't sleep and tried Praying the Rosary but can't concentrate. I am thinking maybe I should not have drank that Diet Rock Star at dinner...(rule is no caffiene after lunch when I do drink it). So either I am sensing something and the dogs or my perception is way off due to the Diet Rock Star buzz and I am going...

Sad to say that an active Freeper, Rte66, has passed away. I am her sister and have been a lurker for many years. At this point we don't know exactly what happened but it seems to be natural causes. Please keep her in your prayers. I will post her obit in coming days. If anyone needs more info they can email me here. A memorial service is pending. Thank you for being her "online family". This was her lifeline for many years. And thank you all so much for your help to her. She was much loved and she will...

   Prayer Request for Jim Robinson Original post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1995434/posts?page=1  Sorry about being gone all day yesterday. I was at the VA hospital where a team of doctors and cardiovascular surgeons were examining my legs and trying to come up with a treatment plan for the circulatory problem I've been fighting for the last several years. The good news is they think they can save my legs! Hurrah! And I will probably be out most of today too. I'm going back to the VA this morning for some sonogram tests. More on that on another thread later. By the way, I...

Hello. Mother in law (late 70s) had trouble putting in her hearing aid...went to the hearing aid man and he sees a growth of some sort closing her ear up. Dorothy had a cancer removed from her lip last year; please pray that whatever this is (we don't know what it is yet--she will see her doc tomorrow), it can be fixed. She has renewed interest in the Lord in the past couple years, especially since she lost her husband. Pray also of course for her spiritual strength. Thanks. RD

  Prayer Request   463 posted on 03/25/2008 1:41:47 PM CDT by Sonora {click on the number to go to the original post}  From our FReeper friend, Sonora, maker of terrific woohoos for our troops.... "....my wife has cervical cancer with staging the next step to see what we are up against. We are praying for a low score. I’ll probably not be around much here for awhile as life is no longer about fun stuff, it’s gone into survival mode. If you pray, please pray for her. Thank You Troops."

My wife is a teacher who was injured in the line of duty. Now the local Bd of Ed wants her to prove her case beyond what has already been done, but we don't have more to give them. We have witness statements. We have the principal's support. We have doctor's notes. If we can't straighten this out by Wednesday they will stop paying her and take her benefits.

Please pray for our dear pandoraou812 for a speedy recovery following a procedure scheduled March 5, next week. Heavenly Father, please guide our FReeper sister through this event with speed and grace and angels on her shoulders as well as the shoulders of her caregivers. Amen.

<p>‘I’ve got good news and bad news. It looks like an encapsulated type growth with defined margins, which is good. The bad news is that there’s only one way to be sure. You can go with a core biopsy, but I prefer a surgical biopsy and I think your doctor does, too. That way the whole thing comes out.’’</p>

  Prayer Requested by Shyla Received this from shyla in a private message..."Please keep Jim in your prayers. He had a heart attack this morning. Need prayers please. He is doing well at the moment, and will have a battery of tests tomorrow"  

  Prayer request From Jackknife | 12/14/2007 7:36:16 AM MST  I need prayer. Yesterday (12-13) I had minor surgery to remove bone spurs from my right big toe. Although it was ‘minor’ surgery, I am now experiencing extremely severe pain, and am going to be laid up for three weeks recovering. I would very much appreciate the prayers of my FRiends here at FR. I am being well taken care of by Mrs. Jackknife, and other than the terrible pain, all is good with the post-op progression. Thanks for your help. (Jackknife)

I humbly ask for everyone on FR to pray for my niece born on Wednesday. She is undergoing a heart operation @ CHOP in Phily to treat a heart defect called transposition of the great arteries. She was born to a loving family and they would like all the help they can get. Thanks, frogjerk

Just a request for prayers for the family and friends of the college students who died in the beach house fire. FReeper Shyla is friends with the family of one of the girl's fiances. I can't imagine the pain of these families, and I'm sure prayers would be appreciated.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WE NEED A MIRACLE.

Boulder High School students are planning a protest against the Pledge of Allegiance in the courtyard of their school Thursday morning.

  PRAYER REQUESTED BY EPOW Original post here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1879625/posts?page=11#11I am learning that cancer is a brutal enemy. My 41 year old son was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He's on chemotherapy and doing well on it so far thank God, although we aren't yet used to seeing him bald. His oncologist says his cancer is a type that usually responds well to chemo and that he has a very good 10 year prognosis. One other problem is that he's an airline pilot, and according FAA rules he won't be able to fly a commercial aircraft until...

  Prayer requested by Krodg...My husband has pancreatic cancer and since his surgery, he has a 25% survival rate. I asked for a prayer thread, but no one would help me.15 posted on 08/05/2007 7:39:30 PM EDT by Krodg  “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18: 20).  

  Prayer request  Prayers needed From Just Lori | 07/30/2007 I found out today that a truly wonderful Sister who is a very dear friend (and Godsend) of mine has had a recurrence of cancer after 18 months of remission. I, of course, am more worried than she is. She is ready to accept whatever the Lord decides. STILL, she teaches me, even though it’s been 33 years since I sat in her classroom.This lady is the epitome of what a nun should be. She saved me from myself when I was too young and stupid to see the forest...

Prayers needed again for my brother-in-law Charlie.

In Christ, P (two23)

I have thought about this a few days. This needs prayers. Last week here in Boston something terrible happened. A young 14 year old girl was here for treatment from the Dominican Republic. She was here with her Mother staying long term in a hotel room provided by a medical research facility. They know no one here other than the people they have seen for treatment. This girl is burned badly. She doesn't speak English. Last Wed night she and her Mother went to bed in thier room. Thursday morning this poor child of God woke up to find her...

Bill White's family and friends are having a prayer vigil tonight (Friday night at 7pm) and I would like to get as many prayers as possible at that time. Bill White is a friend and co-worker who is a good Christian man fighting intestinal cancer. With God's help the first tumor was defeated this one is harder to deal with. The tumor is in a place where they can't operate and he has been through the chemo. treatments that made him so weak he could not walk without passing out. He is now off the chemo. treatments and he knows...

Thank you to everyone who prayed for my bro Jim. He passed Saturday morning. His one wish was to go camping one more time. He did that one week prior to passing. He spoke to another friend Friday afternoon and told her he was doing good. He felt good. His pain was minimal. The next morning he was gone. Please keep his family in your prayers. He was so young.

The list is getting longer but I hope that everyone will continue to pray for them. All of these people are important and I know that God wants us to be specific in our prayers and I just can't cut anyone out. Our Holy Father in Heaven, Creator of the Universe, we thank You for this day and all of our many blessing.We thank You for our most important blessing- our Lord and Savour Jesus Christ who died for our sins. We ask for forgivenenss of our sins. We ask that you guide us in accordence with your will. We...

Dear Freepers; I spoke with my friend John today. He has a niegbor, Jim, who has faced and fought a long and difficult siege from a cancer. I am not sure which type it is...it does not matter. He has been fighting for his life a long, long time. He is hanging on for his life but he is weak. He is a good man. His wife and those around him like his good niegbor, John, have been been doing everything they can for him. I don't know if he has a family other than his wife, I didn't ask,...

Good evening, folks I am here tonight with sad news. For those of you who knew him, I’ve just received word that GrandEagle has passed away suddenly. I ask those of you so inclined to remember his family in your prayers tomorrow. He leaves behind a wife and four small children. For those of you who might not have known, he is an AF Vet. I do not know anything about funeral or such. But, his wife and children will need your prayers in the days ahead. For those of you who might want to pass along your well wishes...

I am a proud wife of a Vietnam Veteran. He is a singer/song writer and wrote this song and put together a slide show to show our support for the troops. He got the idea after listening to a radio show having people calling in to give messages to family members in the military. Please feel free to send it on to others so it will reach our troops to let them know we support them back here in the USA.

The Primary Election Campaign season is now upon us.  I ask you to join me in prayer that the right and conservative persons stand up, get noticed, and get elected.  I ask you to join me in daily prayer that no deceits of the enemy blind us, that all persons who try to deceive us about the right and good be shown for what they are, and that we can all come together to do what we need for our nation in harmony, clarity and with the blessing of God. Some quotes to consider: If men of wisdom and knowledge,...

RECEIVED ON ANOTHER THREAD. THIS ONE NEEDS A THREAD OF IT'S OWN "I don’t know how to post a prayer request on my own, so maybe you will help me out. Another freeper, pepperdog contacted me last night asking for prayer for her friend Jane. Jane went into the hospital for a simple D&C, and is now in intensive care on a ventilator. Everything that could go wrong did, plus a few other really serious things that no one could have foreseen. Please pray for this 60ish yo lady. Thank you, Maria"

Hey, everyone.... I have a few prayer requests. I just was told my mom has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. They have put her on medication to try to get the fluid off her heart. They also found her thyroid is not functioning correctly and the numbers are way out of whack. PLEASE also pray for my daughter and my grandson. My daughter has just returned from the Dr. They gave her a steroid shot today and she will receive another one tomorrow to help the baby's lungs develop as they are not ready yet. She is 28 weeks...

I took liberty of posting a Prayer Request from Publisher of JWR, and it is as follows Dearest readers: I believe in the Power of Prayer. I TRULY BELIEVE IN IT. This is one of the hardest letters I'm likely to ever write. My father is in his 80s and his life is now hanging in the balance. There are tens of thousands who receive JWR daily.

My sister needs prayer. She has been told she has a mass that could be a baby that didn't survive, or cancer. She is going in for tests and I would appreciate any prayers that could be offered for her. Bless you all!

It is with a sad heart that I request your prayers. I recently spoke to a dear friend Helen. She was the wife of a US Navy Admiral(Ret.) who recently passed away. He had had a long bought cancer and other illnesses leading eventually to a lots of weekly dialysis. He had been an officer of the line in his career and eventually worked in Washington. He is yet to be interred(as there is a waiting list) and Helen has lived with this for a few months. That is enough to make anyone grieve so deeply. But he will have...

Court nixes Passover lamb sacrifice at Temple Mount By Nadav Shargai and Amiram Barkat In their efforts to sacrifice a live animal at the Temple Mount, the New Sanhedrin Council adopted an almost underground modus operandi. Rabbis Adin Steinsaltz, Israel Ariel, Yishai Baved and their associates secretly located a butcher, found a Cohen hailing from a lineage 1,000 years old and worked out a plan to quickly erect an alter on the Temple Mount. They tried to revive the customs of the ancient Sanhedrin tribunal, which was the highest judicial body for the Jewish people in Israel some 1,600 years...

I have a personal prayer request.

As most of you know, my time is generally not my own these days -- I am a web producer for the NBC station in Atlanta, plus at this time of year, I'm also a tax preparer for H&R Block. Plus I always keep a side-hustle of some sort or another (I've been doing a lot of mystery shopping the past year or so)... In any event, sometimes God reaches out and rattles the cage to remind me who's truly in charge. I received a phone call yesterday that truly rocked my core. My 42-year-old younger brother had suffered a...

From: Home Check Up Inspections [mailto:billwhite@homecheckupinspections.com] Sent: Monday, December 25, 2006 6:39 Subject: call to arms Family, friends and body of Christ Merry Christmas, I trust you all are enjoying this holiday season. I have some incredible news to share with you a critical request. The news is Satan has launched another surprise attack against my body with cancer and I seriously need your help again in staging a front against this attack against my body. Throughout this year all my tests have shown my body to be cancer free. However, about a month ago I started having some abdominal...

Received from a friend...Please hold this young girl up in prayer There is a 21 year old girl in my neighborhood that was in a horrid car accident Thursday night. Alcohol was involved. Police don't think she was driving though. At this point they think the who ever was diving bolted. She has a broken neck, chest injuries, broken vertabrae, collapsed lung. The hospital has her in a drug induced coma. Don't know if the injuries will let her be able to walk. She is in too much critical condition to even try to assess that. She is a troubled...

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1> At this time, when feelings run high, the world seems crazy, and anger seems to be the one thing the peoples of the world have in common, I invite you, my fellow FReepers, to join me in prayers and meditation for guidance, God's help and for our fellow man, for America, our troops,? and all our own needs. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world...

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor; but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. Proverbs 28: 15, 16 With the election coming, I ask those of you who wish to to join me in prayer for the election.

Freeper FLIGHTLINE is an old Marine buddy of mine. His wife just had a historectomy today.

"Thou remainest" (Heb. 1:11). There are always lone hearth-fires; so many! And those who sit beside them, with the empty chair, cannot restrain the tears that will come. One sits alone so much. There is some One unseen, just here within reach. But somehow we don't realize His presence. Realizing is blessed, but--rare. It belongs to the mood, to the feelings. It is dependent on weather conditions and bodily conditions. The rain, the heavy fog outside, the poor sleep, the twinging pain, these make one's mood so much, they seem to blur out the realizing. But there is something a...

I'm not very good at this sort of thing, and don't participate very frequently, but I have a friend and co-worker whose family needs all the help they can get right now.The Jansen family of Albuquerque lost their oldest daughter Sarah yesterday at the age of 11.Sarah was the eldest of three children.Her death was initially reported as a drowning at a health club pool.Very preliminarily, it appears it was not that, as she was a competitive swimmer.Preliminary autopsy indicates a thoracic tumor in or near the heart, which triggered either an aneurysm or nerve confusion following impact from a...

Deputy Michael Callin, 26, was taken off life support and died at 7:25pm. His family took him off life support after his brain began to swell. Callin was surrounded by his family Wednesday night when they made the heart-wrenching decision to take him off life support.

I have a very close friend whose husband is a brave Marine. I can not go into any details but they desperately need our prayers to get them thru this very unfair trial that has been put before them. Appreciate any prayers that you can place on Mark & Cynthia's behalf to help guide them thru this tough time.

Prayer Vigil For the Immigration Crisis First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2, RSV Dear FRiends, I invite you to join us in a 24 hour a day prayer vigil to ask God's help and protection and guidance on the immigration issue before Congress. Let us place our country's needs before our Father's throne of grace that the right actions will be...

I know it is not an emergency prayer request but I need your help. The Bible says that two or more gathered in prayer is very powerful. Please out of personal beliefs, only Christian prayers.

FReepers.. I have only been a member of this community for a few days. In that short amount of time I have quickly come to know that the FReepers are compassionate and just plain good folks.I am sending out to you a prayer request for my bride of nearly 18 years. This evening, we were counseled by her doctor that a lump we discovered in her breast a couple weeks ago is in fact cancer. The type is Infiltrating Ductal Carcenoma. We don't know what stage or any other information yet, really - we will meet with the DR tomorrow...

Dear FReepers, I am requesting your prayers and kind thoughts. My wonderful mother-in-law, the mother of my husband and the grandmother of my children, has passed away at the age of 87. This Mother's Day was spent in mourning and fond remembrance of a loving and faithful mother and grandmother!
