Posted on 10/01/2004 12:55:08 PM PDT by camboianchristmas

I am not sure if I am posting this right but I will give it a shot. I received this e-mail asking for prayer for a military wife who has just been diagnosed with a late staged cancer. I know that many freepers believe in the power of prayer so I thought it a good idea to share this request with all of you.

I received this from another Cookie and would ask if you would all please keep them in your prayers and pass it on.

A friend of ours sent this to us. He knows this couple. This is a true story. Maybe a miracle can happen.

Prayer request for Gary and Cindy Hogan

Gary is serving in Iraq while his young wife is fighting cancer here.

Prayer is a powerful thing. THIS COUPLE NEEDS OUR PRAYERS. PLEASE read this. IT MUST BE TERRIBLY DIFFICULT TO BE IN IRAQ WITH A SICK WIFE AT HOME.

Bobby S. Briggs, MSgt, USAF

Flight Sergeant
BAGHDAD AB, IRAQ

Tough times don't last... Tough people do !!!

My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me, some do not. My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim. She was pregnant with our second child and had miscarried recently at 3 months, and now we know why. This is a request for you to forward this e-mail to everyone you know asking for prayer. The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better. Pray and forward. It only takes a second to hit "forward".

Please do it and don't delete this, your prayer can and perhaps will save her life. Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy, removal of all cancer in her body so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5 year old son, Michael. The power of Prayer is unsurpassed I want the whole world to have her in their prayers the next few weeks. God will hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is only a request for your help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping with our request for healing.! No words can express the power we have when we each do a little to come together.
Regards, Cindy's in-love husband - Gary
Thank you, and please send it to the far reaches of our world.

Heaven Father,

I thank you for being such an awesome God. You created the heavens and the earth and every living thing. You sent your son to die for us that we may have life and have access unto the holiest of holies. No word of yours is without power.

Yes, father I know that you hear our prayers, that you cannot ignore a child crying out unto you. That like the unjust judge can sometimes show mercy and do right for someone in need, Father, with your greatness and oceans of tender lovingkindness you can show so much more mercy and grace.

I pray for you children Gary, Cindy, and Michael. You know there hearts Father and you know their needs. I pray God for the complete healing of Cindy's cancer and I pray that you strengthen, comfort and protect their family. Please hedge them with your protection bless them with your grace. Let your will be done on this earth, and let all men sing your praises.
In the name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.

May God bless Cindy and Gary in their time of need, bless Cindy's health and give Gary the courage he needs to face this with the peace that passes all understanding.

According to snopes.com -- prayers have been answered. This e-mail is old, and is based on a true story -- but is not entirely accurate. See snopes and enter the name of the husband.

As of March 2004 -- the wife's cancer was in remission.

Father, I lift up Cindy Hogan to You. You are God. You told me to come to You, to ask You for Healing. I do this now. I am asking for miracle, that Cindy may be healed. I do this in Jesus name - for surely, You would not have told me to ask for this unless You would do it...

This has been circulated through e-mail for at least 9 months, probably more.

Praying for a full recovery immediately for Cindy. May G-d work whatever miracles needed to get her cancer-free ASAP and give her a long life with her dear husband and son. Prayers for the whole family to not give up.

"Old" or not, they can still use our prayers for continued remission, recovery and renewal. Prayer sent.
