"Fightin' Spirit" Total Recovery prayer thread [Update at 395]

April 7, 2006

[Albion Wilde]

FRiends, you who are initially pinged to this thread know whom it is for -- it is for someone whose preparation for a military career has been interrupted for an indefinite amount of time, and whose recovery will take patience and hard work. We will refer to this prayer recipient as Fightin' Spirit.

Fightin' Spirit is not a screen name, but a shield to protect the family and friends as we lift them up in prayer without leaving a cybertrail. God knows who this thread is intended for; he reads hearts. So, please, no names in your posts to the public thread.

This is a prayer chain, not intended for medical discussion, but rather to affirm God's healing power, and His gifts of peace and spiritual strength to move in a new direction.

Your responses to my last FReepmail have been astounding and humbling. When I suggested that those who may want to drop off my ping list for any reason should FReepmail me, I did not receive a single drop request -- but dozens of prayer warriors wrote, making sure they would be left on!

I will update this prayer thread once every week or two. From here on out, everyone who signs onto this thread will be placed on the ping list for updates, and those who do not sign on will not continue to receive update pings.

...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

--Isaiah 40:31 NIV

[Albion Wilde]

Let's focus on prayer and encouraging words to the family, whether they are able to read what we offer up at the time or not, as they undergo ups and downs. We affirm that God hears our prayers.

God bless you all.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that Your healing hand is mightily upon Fightin' Spirit and his family ... may it continue to be so in the days ahead, O God, for You delight to do great and mighty deeds through the prayers of Your children. May strength and comfort and encouragement and resolve be Fightin's portion unto the day of complete recovery ... may his family declare Your goodness and mercy as they see You minister through the medical teams. Blessed be Your Name, O Lord, now and forevermore, for such is Your love. Amen ...

My littlest daughter and I have been praying for Fighting Spirit before school every morning, and will continue to pray for complete healing and recovery. The Lord hears all and answers all.. Fighting Spirit's continued and swift improvements show that to be true!

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27

Stay strong Fightin' Spirit

[MEG33]

Fighting Spirit is in my prayers..May God grant him strength, patience, perseverance and comfort while he recovers. May he give those who tend to him medically skill and caring..May God strengthen and comfort all who love and care for him.
If there is a need let it be filled.

Mornings are when my mind is fresh and my heart is humbled for yet another day of learning and being thankful for my place here.

Seeing the thread you have created for Fightin' Spirit Albion and reading such beautiful messages from the good people here, not only serve a dedicated mission to which we are joined in prayer, but serve to connect all of us in experiencing the pleasure of touching each other even for a few seconds....in a common cause. Such a worthy common cause.

Prayers as always are being felt and spoken for a special human and loved ones, and for the special people here as well. Have a lovely and loving day all.

[AKA Elena]

Continuing prayer and gratitude to fellow FReepers for wonderful words that I use in addition to my own as a portion of my prayers for Fightin' Spirit and his family.

I pray the end effect of our collective prayers be recovery ... following recovery, God will reveal his plan for all of this family. May He reward their faithfulness and trust with JOY!

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

Thank you Father for the love and concern you have us. Please continue to open the eyes of this family to how much love surrounds them. Show them and the medical staff Your awesome power; grant this person healing and full recovery so that he can give you the honor.

[Apple Blossom]

All of us in the body of Christ benefit when we hear how God is faithful to his children at all times.

Continuing prayers for Fighting Spirit and his complete recovery. Please keep me updated about the progress being made.

Praising God for His watchful care over Fightin' Spirit and continuing to pray for ongoing healing and returning to wholeness. May God keep discouragement away from Fightin' Spirit during the long convalesence ahead and fill him with fortitude and comfort; and may He give strength, peace, and rest to the family and friends of this young person.

[hershey]

God doesn't give us more than we can handle, although sometimes it seems as if He does. Prayer works, even a simple as a 'I can't handle this, Dear God. Please take care of this. I need Your Help.' So heartfelt prayers for your family from here. I know they will be answered.
