God bless both you and Tony.
Tony - I’m looking forward so much to your post on this thread telling us that all is well. Until then, I’ll be thinking of you and praying for your quick recovery!
HEALING CONFESSION
Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Living Word. You said that Your Word is Life to those who find it and medicine to all their flesh. Today, by my confession, I apply Your Word to our body by giving voice to it. You said in Psalm 139:14 that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that Your works are marvelous. I declare that You made us and we are a marvelous creation.
I speak to sickness and disease today and proclaim that according to Philippians 2:10 that they must bow down to the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every name in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth bows its knee to Jesus’ name.
I speak to our body today and declare that we have authority over it. I command it to receive the Word of God. Matthew 8:17 proclaims that Jesus bore our sickness and took our infirmities. Heavenly Father, I thank you that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us and makes alive our mortal body.
I speak to our immune system and command it to line up with the Word of God. Our immune system will destroy sickness and disease in our body and perform its job, for this is what You created it to do. I thank you, Father, that every cell in our body responds to Your Word. Your Word permeates our body from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet. I confess that the Word of God is being made flesh in us. Psalm 103:3 declares that You, Father, forgave all our iniquities and healed all our diseases. Father, that is Your confession and I make it my confession, also. We don't judge by the sight of our eyes; we judge by Your Living Word. It is Your Word that lives in us and brings health and healing to every part of our body.
Heavenly Father, I rejoice at Your promise of divine health. You said it and I believe it. Today I declare that we will see Your promise of healing manifest in our body.
Healing is ours because Jesus paid the price two thousand years ago. God so loved us that He sent His Son to die on the cross so that we could experience life on God's terms. His abundant life is manifesting in us. Make us whole ~ body, soul, and spirit. Amen ...
Psalm 118:17-18 ~ “I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. The Lord has chastened me sorely, but he has not given me over to death.”
Prayers for you and Tony. He is such a class act.
God bless you and family, Tony.
God bless you and your Family Tony! This won’t keep you down long!
God Bless You. My wife died of that stuff last year. Keep fighting my friend.
As a touch of irony, I just got an e-mail from Tony this afternoon. He mentioned nothing about feeling poorly, which is the good news. He is such an upbeat person, however, that he would not mention his health, even if it was giving him a bit of a problem. And that is the bad news.
As I read the outpouring of worry on this Thread, I will share with you that Tony wrote to me about the Davidson Basketball Awards dinner which I attended and which he would love to have attended if his schedule had permitted. Such is Tony's devotion to his beloved Davidson Wildcats that they are always on his mind. [Did I mention that they made the Elite Eight this year? Did I mention they lost to the ultimate champs, Kansas, by less than Memphis did in the final game?] Nothing would make Tony feel better than to see his Wildcats at least in the Final Four next year.
In the mean time, Tony will let us know how he is doing in his own good time. Prayers up that he will bounce back soon.
Thank you, Blue Turtle, for starting this thread.
Tony—we love you! Our family has been praying for you and for your family. Please know that you are well loved—and dearly missed!
Thank you for that marvelous photo of our Tony, Old Seadog. His goodness and kindness just glows. Tony and his family have been in our daily prayers ever since word of his illness was first announced. Fervently hope it is nothing serious.
Thank you for the ping, dinasour. Your comment makes me very nervous. It’s not the sort of news we want to hear. May our Lord hold you close, Tony.
The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
-Psalm 121:5-8
Prayers sent heavenward for your total healing, Mr. Snow. G-d bless you.
Keep on truckin', friend.

FRegards from a humble listener/viewer. Thank you for the best years ever of White House pressers. I’m praying for your rapid recovery from your current illness, and for God’s grace in all areas of your life. Would a ((hug)) be presumptuous?
Praying for you here Tony. God bless you.
Prayers for Tony Snow.
My prayers going up for Tony, and for you, FRiend:)
Amen! Tony, we love you and are praying now!
So sorry to hear about your wife. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Thanks for sharing that FoxFan. I am taking it as a good sign that this is nothing too serious.
