Hello, FRiends.
I've been here a long time and have been privileged to participate on a lot of prayer threads over the years. Never posted one, though -- I'm not even sure where to do so! So, if this needs to be moved, please do so.
My R/L situation doesn't permit me to post a lot of details, but the Lord knows those. I love Him with all of my heart and mind and soul and strength and I do try to always love my neighbor in the same way I love myself. And I know how powerful the prayers of God's people can be.
On Monday I'm having some major, difficult surgery, which is somewhat riskier than usual because I am not in the greatest health. If you would pray for me and my family, I would be so grateful. I humbly ask that you please pray for my safety through the surgery, a safe and smooth recovery, and a good prognosis.
I especially ask for prayer for our teenaged son. This is one of those "my world is being rocked" moments for him. He's a committed Christian with a precious love for Jesus. Please pray that he experiences God's strength and comfort in a new and deeper, maturing way through this situation.
Thank you very much and God bless you for your faithfulness to Him and the needs of others, including those in the body of Christ.

The words of Jesus to His Heavenly Father regarding his disciples, John 17:20 ~
“I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word.”
To paraphrase from a recent email:
“If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room,
I would not fear a million enemies.
Yet distance makes no difference.
He IS praying for me.” Robert Murray McCheyne
Hebrews 7:25
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Exodus 15:26 ~ “for I am the Lord that healeth thee.”
Amen and Amen
