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

Thank you so much for your perfect comments.
You’ve manged to lift my spirits. I think you have it right on all counts. God bless you, dearest Exit148.
Thanks for the updates.
Keep your eye of an eagle.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all join together tonight - (all thousands of us) and join arms and hands in prayer for our NUMBER ONE FREEPER........
But..........we ARE joined together all over the country - in prayer for protection and healing for Jim.
Thanks for the update. Hang in there, boss. Get some much needed, much better rest at home. Prayers continue for strength, comfort and peace.
Glad to hear his heart is ok!! I know it must be frustrating for him to be sent home until next week, but God is watching out for our dear Jim and He works in mysterious ways!!
Prayers continue!
Thank God, his heart is okay! But I am so sorry they are going to make him wait another week for the surgery. I believe everything happens for a reason though.
Thanks for the update Kathy and Syncro. Prayers continuing for our Big Guy, our Great Leader!
(((((Prayers Continuing for the Surgery)))))
Thanks for keeping us posted! And thank You Lord, for the clean bill on the heart, for getting to go home, and for Food!
Grateful prayers up, for a good week before the rescheduled surgery!
May God bless you all,
Tatt

<...”All this, just to go home.
Such an emotional ride”....>
Delays are Gods calling too Onyx...I think Jim knows this well with the life he has lived and is very much trusting Him even in the delays. Never can tell what God is preparing and doing behind what is known and as much the unknown...but he does do all things well.
However he may be wondering just what it is God is doing amid this all...I would be...and perhaps enough anxiety of the unknown ahead to face yet again next week.
Either or we keep praying and trusting....God knows well what He is doing with Jim and His life now and then.
Let’s pray for Jim’s wife...
Lord Jesus,
We come before you with joy that you do all things well and there are no delays in your plans for us, but that all things work for the good of those who you love and call....and this place Jim and his wife are now was too a part of your plan.... We are grateful you knew and have met them along the way.
Still we are human and with that comes some weaker moments when our trust and faith seems to quiver under what you allow us to carry....this surely has to be a time of uncertainty for Jim and his wife but at this moment we bring before you Jim’s beloved wife.
Lord give her all she needs within herself to endure and be a strong arm for Jim as they wait this out....help her to lean fully on your arm when she might feel afraid or unsure....give her your strength when hers might falter and your great assurances when she might doubt....and while Jim is away for surgery be her husbandman ... take care with her mind and heart that she might not feel alone but have a real sense of your peace and presence....and that all is secure in you.
And now we thank you ahead of the answers to come...knowing that they both are fully in your care over these hours, days and weeks ahead......May Jesus’ name be high and lifted up throughout this time and with that we pray and in His name...Amen.
This will give Jim time to increase his strenght before the operation. Great news about his heart health!
God is in control.
Thank You Lord!
Thanks for the continued updates.
ALL: See my new tagline. I suggest we all who have fervently prayed for Jim consider making a tagline to support the FReepathon. Copy mine or create your own.
I know Jim does not allow off topic on prayer threads, but I am intentionally going to break that rule - hopefully for a greater good.
That being, to complete this current FReepathon in record time!
Howdy everyone! One of the surgeons stopped in this morning saying I definitely did not have a heart attack. Heart is strong. But the lead surgeon is out so they will have to reschedule for sometime next week. Thank you all very much for your well-wishes and prayers.
Love you all very much! God bless,
Jim
