I know that there are alot of people on here that believe in the power of prayer. I was wondering if there could be a way that we could make a sticky out of this. We could post things here that we would like others to pray for us about or for our families etc. I have seen a lot of people ending threads with please pray for me or I will pray for you. I think that with God all things are possible. Imagine what can happen with all of us praying to God (or to whom ever you pray to)...THE MOST AMAZING THINGS CAN/ WILL happen.

Just a thought.

HEy you guys, LegallyKristin needs our prayers!! She was throwing up blood last night and this morning, and has been dealing with pain and an overfill. Her unfill was scheduled for tomorrow, but it seems her tummy is jumping the gun. Her last post was that she was trying to figure out if the ER was covered. I am really worried about her and paying a ton for her. She has done so well, and is a bright and shining star. I really hope that she is healthy and ok, and secondarily that her band is ok and that she did not slip or tear or erode or anything bad. Poor thing hasn't even been able to keep gatorade down lately, and she must be dehydrated. After just going through that, my body just hurts thinking about her in that pain. Dear God, please keep her close to you and help her through this painful moment. Take care of her and please please please keep her healthy, with the strength to get through this moment without further troubles.

Bless her heart....please tell LegallyKristin she is in our prayers. I will go search some threads right now to see if there is an update as I'm just now getting on for today.

I have a request that I would like to keep "unspoken" for now. We used to have those kind of requests at my home church. Thanks in advance!!

Praising Him for answered prayer!! Thanks to all of you that lifted my request to Him. My DH starts a new job in a couple of weeks. He was able to secure a higher position with a significant pay raise. We have been praying about this for over a year now. All of our expenses have been going up and the old job had frozen OT (he had to work, just didn't get paid) and pay raises. YEAH....we are so happy and thankful!!

Yasmin I hope your surgery went well, and I hope you are doing great! I am a little late on praying for you before the surgery, but I will pray for you to have a great outcome! I hope you conquer your goal and live in Very Good health. Just remember " God thought you was beautiful even before you had your surgery!" Keep smiling and Praying and he will walk beside you no matter your outcome!! Wish you the best, and Prayer..: )

3loves that is AWESOME news! God does provide, and He has heard your prayers for your family. I am so glad for your security, and will continue to pray that everything continues well. :scared:

Krisitin did check back in. Seems her doc who was supposed to give her an unfill the last time she was in, didn't really do it. She has been tight this whole time, bless her heart. But she was watched over, and got a complete unfill and will heal until she is ready for refill. Thank goodness she did not have anything really serious happen to make her stumble on this journey.

I am praying for everyone to be lifted in their spirits. My emotions have been so down lately, and I really pray that no one else goes through a funk anytime soon. I am not sure why this mild depression has come over me, but I am praying through it, working through it, and spending time doing the thing that brightens my day the most...playing with my kids. God bless you all.

UPDATE: regarding my pregnant friend and her hubby not accepting the news of a new baby... As of last week, things have become much better between the two. Seems like they have made a huge leap in communication.

Thanks for the prayers guys. Thank you. Thank you.

Amen! I'm so glad your friends are on the mend. Let's all pray for a safe pregnancy and delivery!

And Paula, you are so RIGHT ON with your encouragement for Plainsneech. I agree! Well written!

I love this thread.

Plainspeech,,,I agree with Paula about the husband being the anointed head of the family spiritually. God has order in his kingdom. You are your husbands helpmate, and he has responsibility to care and guide the family, with your input!! I also agree that each of our journeys are individual and God said He is the author and finisher of our faith.. It is up to him to bring each of us to a place of faith to believe that He wants us to be delivered of what and when. Some of us are delivered of bondages because God knows how he put us together and how we will respond to particular struggles in our life and He meets us where we need to be met. On the other hand, some of us may not be delivered of certain struggles as we need to work out our faith with fear and trembling. He alone knows which of us need to be strengthened where when and why for future concerns that may be not only for our benefit but for others. I know that He uses our pain and experiences to comfort others with the comfort that we ourselves receive. Getting the lapband does not negate your faith. It does not mean that God doesn't love you. It does not mean that you are out of His will. I'm sure you have put a lot of time into deciding what to do and I believe that caring for the Temple of the Holy Spirit is always wise. For what ever reason you get the band, please know that you are not a lesser Christian since God didn't deliver you from overeating. I am more than sure that you are loved dearly and are in a different place in your journey than your sister. Since when is a different point on the map any closer to its destination when the starting points and ending points different? Keep putting one step in front of another, He is the light unto our path. Rarely does He light up the entire road ahead, He is too intimate for that, I believe He wants to walk closely with us. Its what His word says!

Dear Friends, This weekend I will be attending a ministry retreat called the Cleansing Stream. I have attended for several years and have come away with my faith so fortified.

My request is for the attendees, that they receive a fresh revelation of the amazing love of Christ Jesus. And I request prayer covering for the people that provide the ministry, that they hear from the Lord, and that all attendees will have travel mercies. God always shows up and blesses his bride. Thank you!

Thank you for your prayers.

Baby John is home, he is gaining weight and eating on his own now. ~Mandy

This may shake your sister up enough to get her the help that SHE needs.

I would like to pray for your Mom and your family: Lord, please wrap your loving, healing arms around her precious Mom. Restore her health, and give the family a sense of peace in the midst of these fearful moments.

You are never alone. My spirit is right beside you:)
