August 28, 2003

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Dear Freeper prayer warriors, please keep Ernest_at_the_Beach and his wife in your prayers.

From Ernest_at_the_Beach | 08/28/2003:

Just to let you know that my wife (Kathy ) is now in her final days. Her pain in the last few months from the cancer was constant and unrelenting .

The last several months had been very difficult as she was unable to eat well and not able to eat at all for the last several weeks.

God will be merciful soon and relieve her of the misery of the dreaded disease!

Prayers would be appreciated!

[Tijeras_Slim]

May the Lord grant you strength at this terrible time, and comfort and rest to your dear Kathy.
We are all here for you.

Prayers from someone who has been in those shoes to someone in those shoes.

Lots of arms on your shoulders and hands holding yours, Ernest. May God comfort you in your time of trial.

[Tarl]

Some words of comfort from God's Word, I pray and trust that God will strengthen you in your time of need and allow for the time left between the two of you to be mindful of the assurance that God has prepared a better Home for her, a place where she can intercess for your well being while you remain. Your prayers for her are representative of no greater love. I will pray for the two of you...

2 Corinthians 1:3
Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

2 Corinthians 1:4
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Colossians 4:8
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

Beloved Heavenly Father,

Surround Ernest and Kathy and their family during this difficult time. Wrap them in a coverlet woven with your comfort and the love of our hearts.

We call forth a miracle of love and resolution and healing to take place according to thy will. Heal her soul and any and all areas of concern in the lives of the individuals involved even if it may not be your will for the physical body to be healed. Certainly we ask for the strengthening and healing of her physical temple, but we surrender that request upon the altar for your adjudication.

We do petition you for intercession in the matter concerning pain and pain management. Grant her body and nervous system the dispensation to have her pain mitigated. We ask that you will guide the nurses and other health care professionals in finding medical ways to lessen her pain to tolerable levels.

Father, in the event that you decide to call Kathy back home, we ask that you will guide her and protect her during her homeward journey. Grant that she be met by people she loves, and of course your own emissary to her.

Surround this family as they embark upon that grief process. Guide them as they go through the various stages of adjustment that the grief process entails. Help them to be mindful of the process and to have wisdom and gentleness with each other during this difficult period. Strip them of all doubt and fear and grant them a core of faith, hope, peace, and joy in the face of strife and pain.

Father, we ask that you will bless this family and hold them closely to your heart.

Adjust our prayers according to thy will; we would not pray amiss. This which we call forth for Kathy and her family we call forth for all who are in a similar situation of need.

Amen

I pray for Kathy, to have Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

for the sick and lame throughout His years on this earth,
and as he does for those who gather in his name.

AMEN!
God BLess America!

[paulsy]

Harken back to your first kiss and cherish her always
She's onward flying soon toward God's eternal seas
The candle you held is the flame that joins you here, to her, to there
Never knowing why, never really, though we ache beyond description
In the blinking of an eye and where all time is lost
You will be with her again
