Prayer Thread for Sen. Ted Kennedy (prayers ONLY, God is your Moderator)

Can we please have a civilized thread offering our prayers for Sen. Kennedy and his family? He has just been diagnosed with brain cancer (glioma) which has a very poor prognosis. The moderators have already been forced to pull at least FOUR threads on this topic due to uncivilized posters. If you feel the urge to post something unkind, don't.

MOD: Violation of decorum on this thread will be dealt with by immediate suspension. Thanks for your cooperation.

Prayers up for Senator Kennedy and his family, as they face very tough times ahead. They've been through a lot, and now need to summon their strength once again. May God bless and comfort all of them.

Prayers sent for Senator Kennedy and his family. A truly terrible diagnosis.

[wazoo1031]

I agree. This is about humanity and compassion, not politics. God Bless them at what must be a terrible time.

Prayers for Senator Kennedy's family. I know having lost my dad and best friend to cancer in a 2 month time line how difficult it will be for them to watch a loved one slip away.

[vacuumbob]

I agree.

[G.Mason]

You feel like posting prayers for that guy, post them under relgion.

Perhaps the mods won't pull them.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I lift up Senator Kennedy and his family, asking for Your comforting hand and mercy to be on their lives. Lord, he has done a lot that we disagree with, a lot that we can even say transgresses Your law- but again, we are all guilty of breaking Your law and none of us deserves Your mercy and grace. Therefore, Lord, we pray for the Senator what we ourselves have been given, grace. We pray for his family that this illness may draw them all closer to You. The Kennedy family has had a tragic history, and Teddy’s malignant tumor only adds to that pain. Yet, they have also been strong through it all and can be admired for that reason. Politics aside, this is a family that needs You now. And so we pray for each of them and we pray that You will gain glory from this situation.

For it is in the beloved name of Christ Jesus my Lord that I pray these things, Amen.

My hope is that Senator Ted can find The Truth... before it’s too late....

Prayer's up for Ted Kennedy! Although some say this is a rough road to haul here, I've seen my aunt go through a brain tumor, she lived for 2 years after that but we are all different, our (Penna) Arlen Specter beat his. Let's hope he beats this and although we like our jokes about him, let's declare a moratorium on them. We need to show some class here.

Senator Kennedy and family, may God bless you and yours and may they guide you and your doctors into beating this disease. Amen.

I am praying for Sen. Kennedy. He is in my deepest thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, the prayers of all of us combined will save him from the eternal torture and damnation he surely faces.
