We are engaged in battle that is much larger than a modern political conflict. Behind the lies, manipulations and schemes of the corrupt political class, there is a spiritual battle on a larger dynamic. There is a spiritual war among all people. A conflict between light and dark, morality and corruption, right and wrong, truth and lies, decency and incivility.

Hi all, I am asking for immediate prayer for a friend of mine's daughter GRACIE. She is 20 and pregnant. She had a reaction to a fungal infection cream and went to the hospital. In the hospital she got a bed sore which turned into a staph infection. Her legs are so swollen she can 't walk and they have her on a high dosage of morphine. The minute they lower it she loses it...too much pain. The doctors are very concerned she may not make it. Would truly appreciate any prayer warriors out there to take a moment...Thank you...

I barely have the energy to write this.

In a previous thread, I told you about Lucas, the six year old son of my wife's co-worker Mark. Lucas had a good MRI, and they have scheduled surgery for him on Monday. It's an excellent hospital, and an excellent surgeon. Please pray for Lucas, his mom and dad - Laura and Mark, and his sister Grace. Please also, keep the surgeon and his team in your prayers as well.

My wife's coworker recently posted a message about an MRI his six year old son recently underwent. Lucas has been having headaches for a while, and the doctor ordered an MRI to see what was going on. Rather than try to paraphrase what he said, I'm just going to quote it. "Thank you for all the prayers. Yesterday was a very long day for us. The MRI went fine and Lucas was a champ. He's a heck of good kid. Before I get to the results, for those of you who know Laura, please don't call her for a while....

Greetings FReepers; I received some shocking news yesterday, my dog has developed a tumor on his back leg, and his vet is 98% sure it's cancerous. The vet has sent out a cell sample to get some labwork done which will determine course of action. Sadly, amputation might be an option. First, I'm hoping for prayers. Second, I'm wondering is there are any Vets out there who might have some advice to offer, or if there is anyone who has experienced similar issues with their pet. Thank you all, Scott

Your prayer is urgently needed. My 33 year old daughter doubled over with cramps on mother's day and the next day was hospitalized. After several tests she had 7 biopsies on tumors found in her stomach and small intestine she was sent home today to await the results. I come to you not knowing any more than we are in a holding pattern until the tests are back. My daughter is mother to a 13 year old (tomorrow) daughter (soccer star) and a 7 year old son (karate Kid) and the wife of a real neat son-in-law.
