A great FReeper who most of you have known for a long time, but needs to remain anonymous, asked me to post a thread asking for our prayers.
My FRiend has been having major marital problems due to his wife's infidelity. They separated for a while, during which time she attempted suicide. She was hospitalized following this and they have since reconciled and are working on strengthening their marriage.
During the separation, my FRiend was in an altercation where he needed to defend himself. However, this altercation has resulted in him being charged with attempted murder.
In the midst of all of this, my FRiend was fired from his job and he is also very worried about his health due to a heart condition.
I wish I could post more details, and I may be able to later, but for now I must ask all of you to pray for this FReeper and his family.
Thank you and God Bless.
Praying now.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Prayers for him.
Lord God Heavenly Father, You know every detail of this entire thing. He/we/they/ALL of us are completely helpless. We know that in the Words of Your Beloved Son, that without Jesus we “can do nothing.”
Father, please TAKE OVER. We hand this off to you in our powerlessness. We thank you for your love, your grace, and you mercy. We thank you for the miracle that you’re providing even now for this dear brother in Christ.
ONLY YOU can unravel this twisted knot. It’s yours, Lord.
We thank you and praise you that you will NEVER leave us or forsake us. We ask in the name of your son Jesus Christ our Lord.
That's a great message. I will repeat it to myself, when having stress about some looming problem.
Also a technique I always recommend is the Good Shepherd Psalm. A prayerful recital always seems to bring help.
Your (Our?) FRiend is in my prayers.
My strongest prayers up for our FRiend!
In His name.
Prayers up. Thanks for letting me know. Hope everything goes well.
Oh dear Lord Jesus....PLEASE put your hand on this family, heal them, help them in all the ways that only YOU know they need...Please, Lord, hear our prayers....
What a sad situation. I will keep this FReeper, and his family, in my prayers,
Thank you for the ping and post.
I hate seeing things like this.
Absolutely! Joseph - when your own family comes against you and throws you in the pit and then those in power take you for their own and then you are accused of something and made to appear you did it and have no way to defend yourself - when no one is around who cares for you - there is GOD!
God is Faithful no matter what. Hope your friend just rests in The Lord and allows God to work on his behalf. That’s real faith, faith that God is who He says He is.
Heb 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him MUST believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
Joining in with prayers up.
BTTT
Prayers up for a modern day Job. May Christ walk with him as he carries this heavy cross!
Done. He’s on my prayer list.
Prayers....
Prayers on the way!
Prayers for your FRiend and his family are on the way. Please keep us posted.
