Dear Heavenly Father,
You said that when two or more are gathered in Your name, there You are also. We come together as friends and family of Jim to ask that You place Your hand of protection upon Jim during his surgery today. Lord, bless the hands, minds, and souls of the surgical team. Let their hands be Your hands. Let their decisions be Your decisions. We lift him up to You and ask that You carry him through surgery and return him to us happy, healthy, and whole.
We also ask that Your Holy Spirit provide an overwhelming sense of peace for Jim, Sheila, Chris, and John. Comfort them as they wait for good news from the surgical team. Bless and keep each of them today.
Your Holy Word says that in Christ all things are possible. We ask these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ and thank you for answered prayers.
Your humble servants, Amen
Prayer by Buckeye Texan
Thank you for the update ping.
I will pass that on, but I think that Jim knows that he has his back covered by the FR prayer warriors. I can verify that Jim is humbled by the many on here that care so much for him.
Praying
Prayers Up! ...from the East Texas Piney Woods...
Blessed Lord,
we ask your loving care and protection for those who are sick
in body, mind, or spirit and who desire our prayers,
especially your servant, James.
Take from them all fears and help them put their trust in you,
that they may feel your strong arms around them.
Touch them with your renewing love,
that they may know wholeness in you and glorify your name,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever.
AMEN.
TU for the ping
Praying for the very best, too, Jim.
Thank you for the update, Dave
Prayers up...may God guide his doctors and nurses and give him a speedy recovery.
Prayers away.
Thank you for your update. Thank God they caught the problem before surgery.
Praying that this setback gets resolved and that Jim’s surgery is a great success.
We're all still praying for you, Jim... praying hard for the very best outcome for you. Hang in there, FRiend... your FReeper family loves you!! :-)
God bless you and your family...

See Jim's update in #199, and also check his other posts on the FR forum as well...
Prayers continue up for you from the Head family, Jim! God’s speed!
Call me crazily romantic about things... I think of the heart of God here... I still pray a miracle and that it will turn out the removal of the foot isn’t needed. If that happened, Jim will doubtless have to suffer still, but would keep the foot. Got a stupid question, has Jim been through anything like hyperbaric oxygen? I hear that sometimes that can reverse bad gangrene.
I do not know the different medical procedures that Jim has undergone.
I do know that he used Manuka Honey for about a year. That helped in the beginning but at some point it became ineffective.
Maybe Jim can expand on this.
Thanks for your prayers.
Just heard from Chris .... Jim is going for an echocardiogram right now.
Thanks, Chris.
Saying big time prayers for Jim.
I am glad you were able to see Jim yesterday, D. Thanks for your report.
Is there any more news about when the surgery is to take place?
Hope they are keeping you comfortable, (((((Jim))))). Prayers continue.
May all be well with his heart..Prayers for Jim continue.
