IMPORTANT! PRAY FOR OVERSEAS TROOPS AND OUR NATION
Posted on 7/8/2024 by left that other site

My Nephew's Girlfriend is being deployed overseas, and she has asked my sister if she can borrow her "civilian luggage" so as not to call attention to herself.

Sis asked if the Prayer warriors here on FR could lift her (and our nation) up in prayer.

Sorry to be so cryptic, but "Loose Lips Sink Ships".

URGENT! PRAY FOR CAPTAINPHILFAN WITH SEVER ABDOMINAL PAIN
Posted on 7/6/2024 by Dahoser

Please pray for my wife, CaptainPhilFan, who is in the ER now with severe abdominal pain on her right side. This has been a problem here and there, but it hit very hard this evening. We believe that there is spiritual warfare on top of the physical because she has been under attack of one sort or another the entire year with this being our third different trip to the ER in the past few weeks along with hand surgery during that time. Tonight, we had been discussing the attacks a little bit before the pain came on the way it did. We appreciate all of you and your prayers.

PRAYER FOR METMOM AND FAMILY
Posted on 6/25/2024 by metmom

UPDATE (6/25/2024) regarding metmom's digestive problems.

I’m having a very bad flare up of symptoms and I don’t know what could be causing it. I have done very little different in my diet so not sure that’s a factor. There seems to be little that I can take that alleviates the symptoms. Antihistamines don’t seem to help at all. I get more relief from ibuprofen of all things.

I also strongly suspect a spiritual attack component. Mr. mm and I are away for a week long retreat event. I started having these issues about Sat as we were preparing to leave and they have been relentless.

I am in a fair amount of pain from it and feel like I’m having an eczema flare up. Nothing LOOKS bad, but it feels AWFUL.

This sort of thing happens on occasion for some unknown reason and nobody has been able to find anything medically wrong. It’s VERY frustrating.

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers.

UPDATE (6/17/2024)

My apologies for taking so long to post news about little Noah James (I have been very busy with a new job and working 60 hour weeks). This little precious fighter is just a joy to see. Not to spin anything away from the gratitude of Noah being brought out of a very fragile condition just a few months ago...he does have a surgery scheduled soon to restore his hearing. He has been home now for a couple of months and is a very happy guy and his future looks great today!

Thanks again to all for your thoughts and prayers!! Blessings all.

PRAYER REQUEST FOR ME (Long Covid, Insomnia, Retirement)
Posted on 5/17/2024 by ducttape45

DUCTTAPE45 NEEDS CONTINUED PRAYER! PUT HIM ON YOUR LIST.

Good evening Freepers.

I wanted to share a few prayer requests with you. I don't normally post things like this for me as I try to keep some aspects of my life close to the chest, but I wanted to share these as they continue to be things that I am dealing with, some of them for quite some time.

First off, Long Covid. As many of you know, I retired from my job in Apr 23 because of Long Covid. I was infected with Covid 19 in February 2022, but in Nov 22 I developed Long Covid. I initially recovered from Covid and was on my way to what I thought was a full recovery when Long Covid hit me, and hard. Nov 2022 to Apr 2023 were very difficult months, and Long Covid has stayed with me since then, and although it's not quite as bad as it was, I'm still disabled. What I got hit with was a combination of chronic fatigue, extreme nausea, insomnia and dizziness/confusion. While the fatigue and nausea are not as bad, I still suffer with all of those symptoms. It's only by pacing myself, resting and eating very bland foods that I am able to get by. And that leads me to my next request.

Second, Insomnia. That aspect of my condition has been extremely rough. From Nov 22 to Apr 23 I was taking a fist full of drugs in order to sleep. I did not put in a full day’s work that entire timeframe because of the Long Covid, and not being to get a good night’s rest made things worse. Even though I was taking those drugs my days were still hard to get through. It’s a good thing I had over 400 hours of sick leave. It came in very handy.

When I finally retired I tried to get myself off those drugs but it proved very difficult. I was basically addicted to them by that point and trying to go “cold turkey” was not a good idea. It wasn't until late December that I finally hit upon a game plan to get rid of the sleep meds but it's taking this long to play out.

With the assistance of a VA counselor helping me with my insomnia, I was able to reduce my intake over the months until, just this week, I finally stopped taking the sleep drug, Temazepam/Restoril, altogether. When I started taking that medication, I was taking 30 MG capsules. I was able to reduce that to 22.5 MG by Nov/Dec 23, then to 15 MG in Jan 24, then 7.5 MG since March. Just a couple of days ago I stopped taking it altogether. But it wasn't without assistance from the VA counselor helping me modifying my sleep patterns that I was able to do so. He’s also had me keep a diary to chronicle the entire process. HOWEVER, I now have to give my body time to adjust and hopefully get my sleeping pattern on track again. With each reduction in medication it normally takes about two months to re-regulate my sleep.

Third, Retirement. Since I retired I've been trying to get various aspects of my retirement in order, but there have been bumps along the way.

OPM had to adjust my retirement because they didn't calculate it correctly when retired in Apr 23. It took about two months but it finally got fixed. However, I was short changed in that my retirement pay is $200 less than I was quoted before I retired. The GRB website the government uses was not accurate in how it calculated my retirement. I come to find out that I did not have 30 years of total government service, but instead had 26 years and 8 months. They neglected to tell me that almost 4 years of temporary employment didn't count towards my time. GRRRRRRRR.
Social Security and VA disabilities were applied for.
SS denied my in February of this year, after a wait of over 6 months, and I hired a SS disability lawyer to appeal my case. It's ongoing.
The VA is another matter entirely, and honestly, I am extremely angry at the VA because they continue to deny appeals to get my disability claims approved. For instance, even though they now admit that military service caused hearing loss and tinnitus, they won't overturn their previous denial from 2006. The lawyers I hired to file the appeals have received three denials since summer last year. So in addition to being denied in 2006 and 2011, that's now five total denials on that one condition alone. And there are others.
The lawyers are trying to figure out what to do next, but I know what I want to do, and that is fire off a letter to the VA expressing my anger. The department in the VA that deals with disability claims no longer works for the veteran. They actively work against them, and I really want to express my outrage to them.
Retirement location. I really need to move from where I am. The housing I’m in is old military housing and is not in good shape. I would like to move to better housing but of course housing, whether one rents or owns, is priced through the roof. If either, or both, of the disability claims get approved I'll bring in more funds, but I could be waiting for several months, if not a few years, for that to happen. I am on a waiting list for senior apartments in West Lafayette, IN. That location would be ideal because I would be real close to my daughter, but the waiting list is extremely long and it could be years before there is an open unit. I’ve been trying to locate other places to move to but it’s difficult to get out since Long Covid reduces my endurance, and Google Maps doesn’t do a good job in keeping its database updated.

Whew, that took longer than I anticipated to type out. I know that is a lot to take in, but those are the areas I really need prayer for. I appreciate the time you took to read all that. Thank you and God bless you all.

PRAYER NEEDED (Pollywog's Adopted Daughter)
From pollywog | 05/16/2024

SAUDIA AND POLLY NEED CONTINUED PRAYER. KEEP THEM ON YOUR LIST.

I don’t even know how to condense this...... but my adopted daughter Saudia, is 33years old.

Born premature, due to drug addicted mom. Weighed under 2 lbs...suffered a brain hemmorage causing mild Cerebral palsy and learning disabilites.

We took her at age 6 months and raised her as a foster daughter. Finally at age 16 adopted her. She has always and still does live with me. She is a precious Christian girl but does have some mental delays.

Saudia works a part time job with a job coordinator overseeing her... washing dishes in a small restaurant.

She has been receiving disability from my husband... SSDA each month. We received a letter today that she may be losing this disability. We are both DEVASTATED !! We have 10 days in which to appeal.

We have contacted her Regional Worker, and will try and go to Social Security tomorrow and find out what we can do at this point, but honestly the stress of the letter has me irrupted in tears and loads of anxiety.

I should be trusting God but I am scared to death as I am 82 , and she is 33 and needs support.

Pray, first of all that I will be able to TRUST GOD THROUGH THIS TIME...
Second that I will know what to do.. ( I don’t know where to start at this point), and
Third that God will have mercy on my dear Saudia and grant understand from Social Security.

Thank you so much for your prayer support.

PRAYER FOR NIECE

UPDATE (3/16/2024) by GailA

My niece has Gastroparesis, it’s a slow digestive disorder, I went through the same thing years ago. It is totally diet-controlled. The 1 med is useless. Supplements, eat simple, no hulls, peels, or seeds.

I’ve already told her what to do, she just has to be patient and start slow. Doctors sent her home on a liquid diet. Down to 95 lbs. I hit 108.

The coatings on fruits are making people sick. And you can’t wash them off, Gates crap. Apeel or Peelz. Handle with surgery gloves.

Thank you.

My mom is doing fairly well. (Lumpectomy surgery and chemo.) Most days are ok, but occasionally she has fatigue and queasiness. She also has lost all of her hair and wears a wig now. But overall, she is weathering the treatment better than I expected.

My mom will be having her 4th and last chemo treatment on July 2. After that is some radiation treatment and then she should be ok again.

Thank you so much to everyone for praying to help my mom and my family through this challenging time. May God bless you all!

Prayers for Lora during her treatment:

Thank you and all the others who have offered their blessed prayers. Yes, Lora is now in the thick of it, having undergone 10 radiation treatments of a total of 28. She’s a tough former Navy helicopter pilot so with God’s blessing and everyone’s prayers she will weather the storm.

Today, on Easter Sunday, God’s message to all who believe is that no matter the illness, no matter the pain. no, not even death, can keep us from His saving grace. He is the rock we cling to in times of strife. Have a blessed and a Happy Easter.
