Our beloved Freeper, Trueblackman, is need of our prayers. He was hospitalized earlier this week.
I asked if we could start a prayer thread for him. He said he would be very appreciative of his fellow Freepers' prayers.
So, thank you in advance, and please address your comments to Trueblackman.
Hopefully his condition will stablize and he'll be able to go home soon.
Prayers up and feel better soon.
Joining in prayer for our FRiend trueblackman and pinging Brad’s Gramma asking that she “do her thing” here.
I found this old Methodist hymn, based on Psalm 91, to be a morale-booster during my mother’s surgery two years ago:
UNDER HIS WINGS
(William O. Cushing & Ira Sankey
1899
Under His wings I am safely abiding,
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me,
He has redeemed me, and I am His child.
Under His wings, under His wings,
Who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide,
Safely abide forever.
Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow!
How the heart yearningly turns to His rest!
Often when earth has no balm for my healing,
There I find comfort, and there I am blessed.
Under His wings, under His wings,
Who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide,
Safely abide forever.
Under His wings, oh, what precious enjoyment!
There will I hide till life’s trials are o’er;
Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me,
Resting in Jesus, I’m safe evermore.
Under His wings, under His wings,
Who from His love can sever?
Under His wings my soul shall abide,
Safely abide forever.
Thank you for the update, K.

We all wish you a speedy recovery FRiend. You are needed on the front lines as always.
Holy God,
We bow before You and acknowledge You as Lord as we ask You to defend Your servant, TrueBlackman. Father, whatever is causing his infirmity is completely known by You, and His healing is in Your hands. We ask You, Lord, to restore him to complete health so that he may continue to fight the good fight of faith and to do the work You have set before him. Bless him, Lord, for the good he has brought to our nation by being willing to speak out for what is good and right. We know that You have wonderful plans to prosper and bless him, and we thank You for them, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Prayers going up! Hope he gets well soon.
Hey TBM - prayers up for you and a full, healthy recovery friend.
