Prayer Request Thread

[Jeffster]

My friend John has a doctor's appontment tomorrow for some medical problems he's been dealing with.

A co-worker of mine's wife, Yasmine, has chemotherapy cancer treatments she is about to start.

If you believe in prayer, send these up for me.

 

[Ivy]

will do.

 

[Usehername]

will do.

+1.

 

[Valiant]

Not really a believer, but I sent a couple of prayers up for them. Even if the odds are 1 against infinte it would be worth it, if it can make a difference.

 

[kuranes]

Sends one "anyway" for Jeffster.

 

[Eileen]

though I am more agnostic about prayer than anything else, my dad had surgery today.

If you believe in God, and he turns out to not be real, then you have lost nothing, but if he is real, you've gained everything.

I choose to believe. Pray on, everyone.

I don't believe in the power of prayer, but I do believe in the power of positive thinking. I also believe I can alter my reality through my thoughts, so I will surely try to do this to help your friends out OP.

Here's my polite request that this NOT turn into a debate on the existense of God or any sectarian divisions. Anyone is welcome to post requests here, and I think we have other topics for those other discussions. Thanks.

Edit: Retarded post I was responding to was deleted by the poster, so I have removed my reply.

I wish only but the best for those in the OP, though I'm not religious.

Well in that case..

No, he titled it generically, not for his prayers only. I'm pretty sure he meant it to be a continual thread for religious forum members to ask for prayer. Which means anyone is welcome to read it, anyone looking for prayers or saying they'll pray for someone can post, but everyone else is kindly asked to find another thread to post in.

IMO, it's fine here. If it were only about Jeffster's prayers for his friends then SP PT would be a great place for it, but it's open for anyone. I don't see it as any different from a recipe thread in the home/garden/cooking channel. It would be fine to ask that any discussions about the merits of cooking food vs. eating it raw go to other threads and keep the recipe thread format intact.

Did I just totally overthink this? I think I may have just totally overthunk this. Oh, well.

Ivy, you always get it right. You thought perfectly.

 

[Tallulah]

Lovely idea, Jeffster. I'll pray for your friends, and for Eileen's dad.

 

[Giggly]

will do.

Me too

Well said. My sentiments exactly.

They'll all be in my prayers tonight.

Friend who is alone and has had a lot of health probs has had her power shut off and is facing possible eviction later this week. Please pray for her. And pray for me. I promised my husband i wouldn't take anybody else in because we really can't afford it financially or logistically, but it's hard because I really want to offer.

Will pray requests mentioned above and to all.

I'm sorry, Cafe. That's a tough spot to be in as a friend. I'll pray about that.
