Requests for Prayers/Good Thoughts

Postby JustSkipIt » Fri Mar 20, 2009 5:59 pm

Hi Kittens,
I've seen various threads with requests for prayers or good wishes over the years. Let's put them all in one place. This place.

Whether you're requesting support in your Geometry test, you want to ask someone out, your head hurts, or someone is in the hospital, put it here.

---

I'll start:

My dad called this evening and after a few rounds of him getting my voice mail, my getting his voice mail, etc. he told me that he had a pacemaker put in today and he was calling from the hospital. Basically he blacked out a few weeks ago. Since then the doctor has been running tests and saying that everything looked fine (my father is in fantastic shape given that he's 71 years old). Then today the nurse called and said we need you to come get a pacemaker. He said, when? She said, now. Seriously. Now. He had to cancel some appointments and head to the hospital. He was pretty groggy by the time I finally spoke to him. He says he will probably get to go home tomorrow.

I'd appreciate any prayers or good thoughts (you don't have to post here but you can). My father's name is Paul.

Thanks.

Wow, Deb, that's scary. I hope your dad makes a very speedy recovery!

Asking for thoughts/prayers not for my dear friend Edna, but for her husband Fred. We're losing Edna. She was diagnosed last summer with colon cancer that had spread throughout her abdomen by the time it was found. She's been taking an oral chemo to buy her more time and give Fred a chance to wrap his head around losing his best friend and wife, but now the oral chemo has stopped working. Edna doesn't want to do anything else. She doesn't want her obit to read "she fought the cancer hard". She wants it to read "she LIVED". I agree and support her completely, but Fred is refusing counseling and just not dealing well. So, please keep Fred in your thoughts.

Thanks Kittens.

sending good thoughts to both,

I'd like to ask for some positive energy toward my little sister. She's 13 years old and amazingly bright and lovely, but stuck in an abusive home where she's made to believe that she has learning difficulties and is mentally challenged. She suffers from terribly low self-esteem, an anxiety disorder and is made to take medication for ADHD kids, though I guess all she suffers from is the instable and abusive situation at home.

She's almost like a daughter to me and I'm doing all I can, but it's never enough. Even if I ever succeed in getting her out of there, I'm not sure if I could heal the scars :(

So any good thoughts you can spare would be very much appreciated

Trom - I totally understand what you're saying. My thoughts are with you and both your friends. I think it's really hard when the partner of the person who doesn't want to fight anymore is resistant to that.

Dorothy - I guess the best you can do is work through love and support even now to undo your mom's work on your sister. She sounds like a pretty incredible person from everything you've said and many people come from awful home lives to be incredible and loving people. Having you as a sister will really help that.

Melcar & SJ - Thanks so much.

Tom- I'm sorry to hear about Edna, and I know what it is like to be Fred and watching someone you love die and not being able to do anything to stop it. My thoughts and prayers are with both of them.


Dorothy- That's just horrible. A lot of the times it's just kids having some sort of a little problem in school, or when they are just being kids. They slap this name on it like ADD and ADHD and give them medication most likely to make money... Not to mention your sisters home life. I'm sorry to hear that about your sister and I hope she gets out soon.

Thanks everyone. I spoke to my dad today. He was released from the hospital the next day (20 hours in the hospital total). He's feeling fine but can't drive for a few more days. He said the hardest thing is that he's supposed to hold the phone on the other side because it could interfere with the signal.

Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.

Hi kittens.
There has been a terrible earthquake on Sunday in Italy. Almost 300 lives were lost.
Please, remember in your prayers the people who lost someone that day.
Thanks.

If you've got any extra prayers to send up, please do so for two friends:

Our best friends's father, Ted, is in the hospital with problems with ulcers and blood clots.

My college roommate's husband has MS and it appears to be advancing and his legs are getting weaker but they don't know just why.

Thanks and blessings to you.

That was a really nice idea, putting up a request for a healing room Debra. I'll be visiting often.

Blessings.

Is it very selfish to ask some good thoughts for me?

I feel like a pile of crap, physically and mentally and it isn't getting any better lately. The stuff with my sis and the being helpless and unable to do anything about it brings back thoughts of.... things I don't like [/understatement the size of grand canyon]

^ me too, life gives you back 3 times what you put in... So anger and violence might not be the best choice.

Hoping the judges will make the right decision. A few decades ago colored people had seperate, but "equal" rights too, now everyone knows that was wrong...

I'm sending good thoughts to all of you guys and your families too.

I have a request nyself though today. My best friend just called and told me about some frenzied attacker in a town not far from here. A woman, 23 years old, attacked four random women on the streets with a knife. One of those women was my best friends cousin. She turned 22 a few weeks ago and is in ICU now. It seem now, that she will survive, but there was some mighty damage done. So, I'd appreciate it alot if you guys would keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I hope neither will be upset at me for posting this but both Alcy and Car have had deaths in their families in the past week. I'm sending both good thoughts and prayers or gentleness.

Okay, unusual one this.

I am going to a wedding this weekend. its my friend and I want to be there on her big day. Thing is, I am by nature a very shy person and I'm going alone and I won't know anyone there so to be honest I'm scared.

So i guess I am hoping that come Saturday some nice people on ehre might send a nice thought my way.

My SIL was in a car accident 3 days ago. She actually fainted behind the wheel but kind of realized something was wrong and managed to aim off the road and just hit some trees and a final tree. She's been in the hospital ever since. Besides bruising, she's been ok from the accident and they've been trying to figure out why she fainted. Finally, they decided it was an antibiotic she was taking for poison ivy so she's off that and may come home soon. Scary but I think she's ok.

And my best friend has been in Florida for a few weeks helping get her uncle set up with a nursing home. He died this morning and she did CPR on him before the ambulance arrived. Her name is Angelique and his name was Frederick.

Any prayers are appreciated.
