I wish to ask for the prayers for a dear friend of mine. His name is Frank and he was a Swift Boat Vet that manned the twin 50 calibers and lived to tell about it.
He has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung and brain cancer. On Thursday he was rushed by ambulance to the ER and has renal failure and a major infection invading his body.
I know all about the rules of vanity posting but this man is a real gem of a man and truly needs all the prayers that our Freeper warriors can give to him.
Radiation and chemo have been suspended pending an improvement in health.
We are all in the path of this Frances storm(ironically his name is Frances, too) and I will not leave the area as he is asking for me and I can't get to him until this dang thing passes and no knows when even then. Pray for him please.
Thank you
Prayers going up.
God bless this hero.
Father, we bring Frank into the Shelter of your Presence and ask for you to heal his flesh and spirit. Send your Comforter to him to encourage and comfort him during this difficult time. Strengthen him and those who love him. Lift them up on your wings and renew their strength. In Jesus' Name we pray.
I will certainly pray for all involved. So sad.
Prayers for all.
Thank you so much. He is also an artist that cuts out coins. I have some very beautiful and intricate work of a cutout coin of Lady Liberty dollar coins, state quarters, Mercury dime earrings.
Thank you and God Bless all.
Prayers from Seattle for your friend, may he receive some spiritual comfort in this difficult time.
This brave man and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Don't give up hope. Miracles happen. (If they didn't, I wouldn't be here telling you they do!)
Beautiful prayer, thank you.
You are SO right about that. Prayer is very powerful so those that believe.
My prayers for you and your friend
Prayers sent.
Prayers Bump for this Swift Boat Vet and his family.
We salute you. Prayers for improved health and improved weather.
I'm praying for your good friend, Francis, and for your safety.
Prayer for you both. Health and Hurricane.
Prayers.
God Bless this hero.
Father Lord we pray for this thy servant and ask for healing of his body. In the name of Jesus, amen.
God Bless your Friend and ease his pain.
