Prayer Request: A Young Family Man & Navy Vet Loses His Battle with cancer [#125 update]
The Heart ^ | 10/27/2012 | Bloody Sam Roberts

Posted on 10/27/2012 1:22:49 PM PDT by Bloody Sam Roberts

I always say a prayer or two when I see prayer requests on FR. I pray a lot. I believe in the power of prayer.

Well today there is a Freeper who needs our prayers in his fight against cancer.

He is 'hiramknight' here on FR and he is one of my...sorry...he is my closest friend. I have never found anyone who thinks so much like I do. I introduced him to Free Republic and he is someone I can sit with for hours while we discuss and solve all of the world's problems.

Scott is a US Navy veteran and has recently been dignosed with esophageal cancer.
He headed up a team who maintained a wing of Navy P3 Orion sub hunters and also has worked for NASA.

I am in awe of this man and his situation has really thrown me for a loop.
You can read a great deal about him on his FR Profile page.
He is one of the Good Guys and he needs the very real power of the prayers from those here on FR to get through this. Please take a moment of your busy days and ask the Lord to show Scott his power and love and help him expunge this evil from his body. His family and friends need him to come out of this alive.

Prayers offered up to Our Great Physician that healing prayers to Scott.

I was diagnosed in Nov 2011 with bladder cancer. After undergoing chemo therapy I underwent a surgical procedure in March 2012.

After the surgery and subsequent pathology I was declared “cancer-free”.

I’ve been there, done that and proclaim that the “Power of Prayer” has been part of my healing process.

Prayers will continue for Scott as well as his family as they too endure the healing process.

Praise The Lord who is also Our Great Physician.

Dear Heavenly Father, You Who can make all things possible. We pray that our loving brother, Scott, is cured of his ailments. Please, Lord, heal his cancer. Comfort him in his time of stress, strengthen him in his time of weakness, surround him with peace during his battle of this disease. I also ask for compassion and strength for his wife and family. Surround them, Lord, with Your Grace. In This I Pray. Amen.

***BSR.. you are a good friend. He is a good friend to you. For that, you are both blessed. I will keep him in my daily prayers. Please relay our concern, prayers, well wishes and heart felt compassion when you speak with him. Hugs, Mom

Nos prières à Dieu augmentent pour Scott et sa famille.
(Our Prayers to God increase for Scott and his family.)

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

So Scott’s back in Germany now for further treatment? Hope he’s responding well. Prayers continue.

Thanks for posting.

Scott concluded his treatment in Germany and is at roughly a 30% "remission rate" as best I can put it. He has found a place in NY where he can continue his treatments. It will be expensive but a fundraiser is being held for him on Feb. 16th. It is sold out and should go a long way towards helping out him and his family.

Prayers are working!
