[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Please pray for Freeper Friend Lex (has not posted here in awhile) who has cancer and is in much pain. I have posted to several threads but not an independent thread for prayer for her until now. Please pray for God's healing mercies for Lex, a dear one who attended the 1998 March for Justice and who was a frequent article poster here. Please pray for God to provide all the necessary wisdom and to supply every need involved with this situation. Thank you in advance, all you Free Republic prayer warriors.

Also, a brother of my sister in law been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease, otherwise known as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This is a terrible, fatal disease and for him has started in his throat area which is the worst place for this to start. His name is Johnny.

All prayers for him are welcome. He has three grown children but a 12 year old neice (also my neice) whose heart has been broken by this news...and of course his sister - my sister in law - the same. Please pray for God's help, for good medical care and for some light to break into the darkness here and into Johnny's heart.

We cannot understand these illnesses. We can only pray for God's healing mercies to come into each situation...and, well, FReeper pray-ers know how to pray.

Amen,...and,...Amen,......More Grace and Mercy,......In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!!!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

(Well the prayers are already making a difference -for me anyway. God's peace and His love are definitely reaching me. Thank you so much, each of you - and Mo1 - your prayers are everything to me and to these ones in need!)

Let's continue praying for God's healing mercies to reach Lex, her family - and Johnny - and his family. Lex knows the Lord Jesus. Johnny does not, as far as I know. Prayers for both to learn of Him and His forgiving, redeeming grace at this time of so great a need. And, of course, continued prayers for God's help and healing through all of these sufferings.

My Prayers to a merciful GOD for Lex and John.

Prayer Bumps for both!

[Salvation]

May God bless YOU as one of his greatest prayer warriors!

Meanwhile, prayers are being offered for Lex and your sister-in-law's brother. I have walked this road, having multiple deaths in my family within a short period of time.

God bless all of them at this time of questioning and sorrow.

You are still on my permanent list for prayer, MCM ~ ~ ~
God be with you.

[OldFriend]

The very best part of FR is the support of freeper friends. Never hesitate to ask for help or prayers!!!

[kayak]

May both Lex and Johnny and their families and friends know the peace that passes understanding. May the Father, Who knows and understands our pain and sorrow, wrap His loving arms around them and give them comfort! And, if it be in His will, may there be miracles of healing.

[kayak]

Yvonne and Luke are on my list now, too. May God provide comfort and healing for them, wisdom for the medical professionals treating them, and peace, love, and strength to their families!

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

Praying for the mercy and grace of our Lord upon these folks who are sufferring infirmities. May each of their eyes and hearts be upon the Great Physician for the ultimate healing that can only come from Him.

Abundant blessings in Christ †

[Patrick]

Lex and Johnny will be added to my prayer list.Prayer is powerful!!!!

[LoneGOPinCT]

Our thoughts and prayers are with your friends and their family. Try to keep them positive, it'll make a world of difference.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Very appreciative of you hitting your "ping" list. All who respond - thank you all.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you to all - Kayak thank you - and all of you! Each word and each prayer is deeply appreciated.

Yes, there is great power in prayer.

If anybody knows anything encouraging anywhere about ALS, let me know that, too, please. Right now, Johnny's sister says there just is nothing out there - no hope. What is so devastating is that this disease (from the pit of hell) affects the muscles but the mind is not affected. It will get to the point where Johnny cannot talk or swallow (both are already affected) and eventually cannot breathe on his own - but his mind will be clear. I know this is "of the enemy" ...... but how does one give hope in this time of darkness for the loved ones and for the one who is suffering.....words just fail me.
