After over a decade of hanging here, picking up other prayer requests I must post one of my own. My wife and I have taken in two grandchildren (2 and 5) after the death of their father and eventual abandonement by their mother who has been overwhelmed by one medical condition over another. She called this morning half way around the country with news that she is once again hospitalized, this time with conjestive heart failure and would like to home to see her children while she can. This is difficult on so many levels and only a mighty and...

Those words to the left were lifted straight from a journal entry written at 2 a.m. on the April night the good doctor broke the rules. He broke another one, too, a few hours before, admitting a critical patient at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital without first directing him through the emergency room at University Hospital, according to protocol. Steve Call, an attending physician at the Huntsman that night, received a phone message at 7 p.m. from another doctor about a cancer patient who was in dire condition. The doctor asked if his patient could come in directly. Call relented, although...

Hello my Freeper friends, My 88-year-old mom has been in the hospital since just before Thanksgiving, and is now in ICU. Turns out she had E. coli poisoning, which led to kidney failure, dialysis, and they're still trying to knock out the infection in her blood. I'm praying that she pulls through this. She's been moved to ICU, where she's getting better care. Her blood pressure is still low, and she's on O2. Please, friends, I ask that you lift her up in prayer for her healing. Thank you.

On November the 9th, Huntington North junior, Jill Krueger, was involved in a 2 car accident. She was airlifted to Parkview Hospital in critical condition. Her life since has been one of recovery. She was released from ICU to a normal room on the 23rd. It is being told, that she will be transferred to either St. Vincent Hospital or the Hook Center for rehabilitation.

Even those living legends who still rock are in need of a body tune-up every once in awhile. Little Richard, now 76, is recovering at a Vanderbilt University hospital after undergoing hip surgery. In a post to his official Myspace page, a spokesperson has said that although the surgery was successful, the veteran rocker is still in a lot of pain. "Please be praying for a quick and full recovery. He may have a long road ahead of him (i.e. physiotherapy) because he waited so long to have the surgery." Little Richard, a long-time born-again Christian, is asking his fans...

My prayer goes to my heavenly Father, that in Jesus Name, tomorrow's election will ring a sound of liberty and freedom that will be heard around the country and around the world. That the candidates that represent honesty and integrity would overcome those that do not. Father please thwart any illegal voting in any party. Please supress the desire in people to commit fraud and deceit. Let your people rejoice in the outcome of this election because it is in Your hands alone. Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)

Today my wife is having surgery on her neck. The procedure is called an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). It is a surgical procedure performed to remove a degenerative disc in her neck. She has been living with an excruciating pinched nerve for almost two years. About three Months ago I had posted an inquiry a question for some information on the shots in her neck that they tried. Well, the shots did not work for her and they decided to do surgery. You can check this link out for an idea of what they are doing for her....

America has been greatly blessed by God and has stood as the greatest country in the history of the world for over 200 years. America has many foreign and domestic enemies that are seeking her destruction. This thread is a daily call and reminder for people of faith who believe in God and in the power of prayer to make a commitment to intercede for America at this critical time in her history2 Chronicles 7:14If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will...

May the Blessing of Light Be Upon You, Light on the outside, Light on the inside. With God's Sunlight Shining on you, May Your Heart glow with Warmth, Like a Turf Fire that Welcomes friends and strangers alike.

Please pray for my family. We got very bad news today. We found out today that my 69 year old mother is in very serious condition. She had to have a mastectomy 2 years ago because of breast cancer. We were told that it was in her lymph nodes and she went through all of the recommended chemo and radiation. Everything looked good as far as the cancer was concerned. She seemed to be doing well. Last year on election day she had a mild stroke. Apparently, the chemo had damaged her heart which resulted in a stroke. She has...

I have just returned to the lodge with a heavy heart. My wife's mother - in every sense the matriarch and glue that held together a very large, close family - passed away today, at 4:30 PM EST. She had been admitted to the hospital last night after side-effects from her first chemotherapy treatment earlier this week, as a precaution against the recurrence of a very aggressive form of cancer that was surgically removed two months prior. This morning, she suffered total cardiac and respiratory arrest, and as the result of anoxia, her higher brain function and internal organs began...

Please keep this young man and his family in your prayers every day. Dear Lord grant him strength and mercy. May your divine light reside in his his soul and please keep him free from harm.

A rep for the Phoenix Police Department has just released the following statement regarding Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter: I was just advised by investigators that Exodus Tyson was pronounced deceased at 11:45 AM today at the hospital. Our sympathies go out to the family. Paramedics were called to Tyson's Phoenix home at around 10:30 Monday morning when his 7-year-old son found the young girl hanging from a treadmill by its power cable. Tyson's reps have no comment at this time.

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask for a strong, ongoing prayer for my friend's son, about to turn 18, and a new Marine. He will likely be heading to Afghanistan in a couple of months as a rifleman. His family and friends are incredibly proud of this wonderful young man, whom I've known since he was 2. Please keep him, his family and his unit in your prayers. Thank you.

  Prayer neededFrom AKA Elena | 02/19/2009 10:00:09 AM PST My sister sent this to me with a request that it be posted on FR.Our little niece, Alessandra Lopez-Lacayo, 25 months old, grand-daughter of Zonia Rener (MCA 62), has a extremely strong melanoma and the doctors are going to start her on a treatment given to teenagers and adults.

I was wondering, since there is a Pray For President Bush thread, now ended, and as Christians in following Christ in obedience with respect to 1 Timothy 2:1-4, is there going to be a Pray for President Obama thread?

Do you think we should remove "In God We Trust" form American currency.

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....

I am missing our faithful and gracious Pegita, whose last words for the forum were posted on August 5. She has been a daily and eloquent contributor and a gifted prayer warrior in our prayers for the nation. Does anyone know the reason for her sudden silence? We have been so blessed by her graceful and eloquent prayers and postings for so long, and I search for them now and find no further writings. I know I am not the only one who has been moved and inspired enormously by this extraordinary lady. Dear friend and sister in prayer, do...

Fact: G-d, The One, created Pharaoh Rameses II. He made him ruler, worshipped as a god, over all of Egypt, Africa, and attendant lands. The Lord created famines and made it so that the children of Abraham would be enslaved by Pharaoh. He used his creation through generations to remind His children of their inalienable rights. He brought us to challenge our oppressors. He hardened Pharaoh's heart so that we might learn to trust Him and call upon Him again and again. He brought us from the land of Egypt. He tested us, again and again, and brought us, as...

People, we've got to pray with all our might. The Lord is great and we need him more than ever. We can't pray for what we want, He already knows what's in our hearts. We have to put our faith in Him and pray that His will is done. Pray with all your might and every ounce of faith that you have.

This past Tuesday, the McCain/Palin Bus came through a little town called, Lebanon, Ohio. The LORD allowed me to go to the Rally giving them a message that He wanted personally delivered. [snip]It was at this moment that Sarah Palin reached out for me to help her up and as I was assisting her to stand I was now face to face with her and GOD said, 'Open up your Mouth and I will fill it.' Here is what came out... 'God wants you to know that you are a present day Esther! [She immediately began to cry]! God wants...

Prayer is being forced off campus at the College of Alameda in California. Student Kandy Kyriacou went into an instructor's office to give her a Christmas present last year. The professor told Kyriacou she was not feeling well, and Kyriacou offered to pray for her instructor. The teacher welcomed her student's prayer. Another professor named Derek Piazza, who shared the office, entered and told the student to stop praying. Kyriacou quickly left the office and joined her friend, while Piazza followed them outside to continue his rebuke. Brad Dacus of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) further explains the story. "In...

The CSI episode (CBS show, Crime Scene Investigation) which aired Thursday evening, October 23, was, as is common, about a serial killer. The killer picked random victims, drugged them to unconsciousness, and killed them in restrained poses, so when rigor mortis sets in (stiffening of the muscles with oxygen deprivation and paralysis of muscle cells) these people are posed in what the killer perceives as ‘artful sculpting’. Toward the end of the episode, the CSI team discovers the killer has abducted a little boy whom he plans as the last in a series of ‘sculptings’. The frantic criminal investigators locate...

I thought I'd start a thread or at least a post that maybe the moderators can keep visible to all as a reminder for us all to keep Gov Sarah Palin and her family in thier prayers. After all she is looking like the answer to all of ours. The onslaught that has begun against Gov Palin and her family by the democrats and thier willing accomplices in the MSM will be ruthless, relentless, and totallyy undeserving. I believe Mrs Palin is a girl of grit and can hold her own yet I pray that her family can sustain the...

  RIP Prayer Request From Mountainflower ~ TAPS ~ It is with deep sadness that I relate the following to you.  On July 15 I received an email from Dan Small stating that our mutual friend, Hal Jones, has passed away after a 16-month or so battle with cancer. Hal Jones was with us in Washington, DC at Gathering of Eagles I.  It was an honor to get to know him and Dan, and to stand with him as a Marshal that day in March.  He has gone home to be with the Lord on July 14, 2008.  He is...

I am asking FReepers to join me in prayer for Emily, whose husband was killed in an accident on the oil rig on which he was working. She is left with their two year old and is on her way to Wyoming to make arrangements.

The 3 Labs are acting wound up and playful @ 2am. Unusual for them behaviour at this time of morning/middle of the night. Anyone else have pets acting oddly in the PNW or West coastal areas right now? I can't sleep and tried Praying the Rosary but can't concentrate. I am thinking maybe I should not have drank that Diet Rock Star at dinner...(rule is no caffiene after lunch when I do drink it). So either I am sensing something and the dogs or my perception is way off due to the Diet Rock Star buzz and I am going...

This was her lifeline for many years. And thank you all so much for your help to her. She was much loved and she will...

   Prayer Request for Jim Robinson Original post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1995434/posts?page=1  Sorry about being gone all day yesterday. I was at the VA hospital where a team of doctors and cardiovascular surgeons were examining my legs and trying to come up with a treatment plan for the circulatory problem I've been fighting for the last several years. The good news is they think they can save my legs! Hurrah! And I will probably be out most of today too. I'm going back to the VA this morning for some sonogram tests. More on that on another thread later. By the way, I...

Hello. Mother in law (late 70s) had trouble putting in her hearing aid...went to the hearing aid man and he sees a growth of some sort closing her ear up. Dorothy had a cancer removed from her lip last year; please pray that whatever this is (we don't know what it is yet--she will see her doc tomorrow), it can be fixed. She has renewed interest in the Lord in the past couple years, especially since she lost her husband. Pray also of course for her spiritual strength. Thanks. RD
