Prayer Chain for Our Medhelp Members

I was thinking after replying to a couple prayer requests and people's journals, it would be nice to list on one thread all the members needing prayer and support. Even if one isn't religious, they can sent their best thoughts and good vibes.

So far we have prayers out to Sadinmichigan with her family and struggles in life, for Burrpatch and his health, Sarah and her beagle, Sobermommy for her niece who got hit by a car, HelpinUtah for her father, as well as her own health, NaughtyOne for her health, Lostdreams for her struggle, Jollyman for his surgery, LORDINEEDHELP, April2, Babypooh and several other members who live with an alcoholic husband or in a relationship and many others who can be added onto this list.

Feel free to add your own username or a friend if you're in need of prayers and support.

[HelpinUtah]

This is a thoughtful post.  We can all use prayers or good energy (whatever you believe in) and I thank you for your support.  I agree, we should try to keep our friends on MH in mind in our prayers and good thoughts.  So many of us have health, family, or other issues we need help with.  
Love,
Janet

If we were all perfect, then we probably wouldn't be here.  I've heard it spoken by several friends that everyone here comes for a reason, whether it be addiction, pain, anxiety, depression, autism, cancer, MS, or any other list of things.

Even so we all share some things in common and one of those is being human.

[babypooh]

Thanks, MJ; this is very sweet of you. It's people like you that make this site such a wonderful place to come to and gives us hope.
I will continue to pray so that God can guide us all through each of our hard times and so that things can get better for us all. Let's keep our faith. I thank God for the wonderful people I met through this site. God bless you all!

[margypops]

My thoughts and energy  are with all the people you mentioned MJ  I wish them well and am willing them to feel better soon.

[jollyman069]

Good idea MJ

[margypops]

There you are jollyman I thought you'd gone on the cruise Teko told us about or had your surgery , so I am glad you are okay.

[lonewolf07]

MJ - This is a really good idea.

Prayers and good thoughts to Burrpatch, Sarah and her beagle, Sobermommy's niece, HelpinUtah for her father and herself, Lostdreams, Jollyman, LORDINEEDHELP, April2, Babypooh and others whom I don't know.

wolf and her cats and dogs  = )

[jollyman069]

Surgery is on the 21st of this month.. really starting to get the anixiety feelings i hate being put under, thats the worst part for me

[babypooh]

You'll be okay, jollyman! We're all here if you gotta talk about it :) I'll keep you in my prayers and hope it all turns out fine. I'm sure it will. It'll be over before you know it :)

[dominosarah]

You will be okay Jollyman.......you can dream about all of us Medhelp girls!!!!

[RockRose]

MJ,  this is a great idea.  I wonder if you can get a separate forum for this idea?  Very nice,  thank you.

[April2]

I would love the idea of a separate forum for prayer requests!

[jollyman069]

sarah.. if i do that they may start cuttrung the wrong thingz??????.....lmao

[babypooh]

Why, jollyman, you'll be asleep, not the doctors :)
Great idea about the prayer request forum, by the way!

[sobermommy]

MJ...thank you so much for including my niece in your post. It is so kind and thoughtful. I am so thankful for all the MH members who have reached out to offer prayers and support during this tragic time. She can use all the prayers that she can get. I am so thankful for all the kindness and support.

I think it would be wonderful to have a prayer request forum. It is awesome for all of us to be able to be there for each other. Thanks again to everyone who is praying for my neice.

Jollyman...I hope your surgery goes well.

I am sending up prayers for all the others mentioned as well. God bless you all...Lynn

[MJIthewriter]

Also prayers for Dee52 and her ongoing struggle with brest cancer. I haven't heard from her lately.  I'm wondering how things are going?

[babypooh]

Thanks, MJ for bringing it to our attention. I will add Dee52 to my prayers.

[scaredmom330]

also tuckamore's dad, has end stage lung disease...will add all to my prayers, and everyone at MH who is stuggles with one thing or another, I thank god daily for my friends here...

[Cherie762]

a seperate prayer forum would probably be "politically correct"  we have all sorts of religions including agnostics and athesists on here..Im all for it I believe greatly in the power of group prayer...

[stubby226]

I think it is great for a prayer chain.  People that know me know I am a strong believer in God, prayer, and the strength in the number of prayers.  I will add the requests to my current list.  I have found that if I am prayering for others I have less time to focus on my problems.  Compared to alot of the other problem people are going thru mine may seem minor.  Knowing that someone is praying for me helps me make it from day to day.  I would like to suggest a possible addition to this forum or even opening an additional forum.  I love to hear about answers to prayer, the strength one may find as the results of prayer and/or the things we learn during or after one experiences life changing incidents.  Please pray for my upcoming medical tests, prayer for decision regarding my employment, and my ability to try and remain calm, focused and at peace during all these issues going on in my life.  Thank you

[Me967]

Great idea and Post!  This is so very thoughtful.  A dear friend of mine is having alot of issues with liver pains and migraines and could really use some prayer.  Also if everyone could pray for the homeless and animals now, that are out in the cold.  

Thank you and May God Bless You All.  ;~)

[MJIthewriter]

I think I'll add alienshadow into the prayer chain for help with his depression.  I've been through depression off and on in my life. I've seen my dad talk about sucicide when he went through it really bad. I know it can be really painful.

[momagain59]

Please pray for all the unsaved people in the world. Thank you

[momagain59]

I would also like prayer for Lonelymom and her Dad. He needs help fighting addiction and we all know with God's help it can be done. She needs help being strong.

[freebird227]

A seperate forum would be great but this isn't to shabby of a start. I'll get a small prayer book.......wright the names down updating them daily....Light a white candle and pray over them.............. As long as I have prayer thoughfulness hope love in my mind there won't be room for Junk..thanks MJ     Blessed Be

[margypops]

see MJ we all need something and I hope that we can all ,religious or not ,come and read and thnk and help in the healing of people that need our positive thoughts,

[drifter0213]

beleif is power power is prayer-scott

[PlateletGal]

Adding my positive thoughts for all MedHelp members.

[merrymaria]

saying prayers for the mentioned members and also for everyone who is having hard times...God bless us all...maria

[stubby226]

First of all I want to apologize for being slack on interacting with my friends on an indivual basis.  It has been a rough week but that is no excuse not to reach out to those that have accepted and supported me thru my ups and downs.  I have a couple of prayer requests.  First pray for my son Todd.  He is a practicing alcoholic and just lost his job.  His wife works but as we all know things are realy tight for everyone.  I pray that this just might be ablessing in disguise.  Today I saw my occupational doctor. I also have shared with alot of people just how important my job as a nurse meant to me.  Well...my doctor officially put in writing that I was permanently disabled as  a nurse.  I have spent most of the day getting tearful off and on.  Please pray for my acceptance and peacefullness during all these changes.  I also need to be able to find out what directions I need I need to take  etc.  Please pray for guidance.  Thank you everyone so much for everything.  Julia

[April2]

I forgot this was here!
Please say a little prayer for my 4 year old tomorrow morning as he has to be sedated to get some dental work done. I'm a little nervous and we really need this to work. If it doesn't work then he'd have to go to the hospital and get it done under full anesthesia, which I don't want to do and we can't afford to do, either. The insurance wouldn't cover that. They aren't fully covering tomorrow, either. We just really need this to work! I also need to feel God's peace right now. Thank you and God bless!

[babypooh]

April, I will definitely pray so that everything goes well tomorrow and you don't have to schedule any other surgery at the hospital. I hope your son is okay and not too nervous. I know how hard it is to see our children scared or nervous :( It will be okay, honey. We'll pray for you and your son. Stay calm so your son can also feel calmer. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

[lingirl]

just ran across this forum, and i am very glad.....please pray that God will soon open the door for my son to get  help to take care of his wife who is progressing fast with alzihimers,we have her in a day care..three days a week right now, but one of her son's says he cannot help ...there is another son who is still helping pay for one day a week...and my son.....my son isn't working right now....so I know God is in the middle working out a way..
I thank God my doctor just took me off wellbutrin and paxil, as they were interacting with each other...and I have been very depressed and in a mess for months...I am off wellbutrin for 3 days now..and beginning to feel better.
Lord , bless all these people who have needs....I kn ow they are in your hands...amen

[toots8]

I've been looking for a christain sight where I could get prayer. I'm not sure where you stand though. I am a born again christain, I beleive in God the Father God the Son and God the Holy spirit.  Three in one and the only true living God. Are we on the same page here?

[lingirl]

hi....i just found this page recently, too..still trying to figure it out..and i am a born again christian too.

[April2]

toots and lingirl, I have the name of a Christian website you can go to for prayer requests if you're interested. Just send me a pm and I'll give you the website name. It's free and it's a great site.
I think you'll find there's quite a few Christians on this website, although a lot of us don't say too much unless asked since it's a medical site. You're always welcome to pm me anytime you have a question or just want to chat with another sister in Christ! God bless!

[stubby226]

Welcome.  You are not the only ones with your belief system.  I am so glad I am able to pray with all the things happening in peoples' lives.  I too have had to face alot of challenges but I know with prayer I will be able to deal with whatever my God chooses to give me.  To all the other pray needs I will continue to pray.

[stubby226]

Please pray that appt with doc on Monday goes ok.  He wants to talk with me about my enlarged lymph nodes.  thanks

[stubby226]

Please pray for love and contentment for all marriages having difficulty.  Break the family spirit and he break the country one city at a time.

[imanaddict]

I am need of some prayers!! I am having some pretty big problems with my stepson (see my post under child behavior "My stepson pulled knife on his stepbrother" and you'll see what I mean). Also, my mother is undergoing chemotherapy for Hep C and she is always sick. Her insurance was covering the entire bill for the majority of it, but now my retired parents have to come up with over $10k for the next 3 month supply. I am so worried about so many things right now, I can't stop crying!

I will most certainly return the favor as well! God Bless!!!

[Vance2335]

Please say some prayers for my wife and unborn child. My wife found out at her ultrasound that her amboinic fluid is lower then it should be. At this stage not a huge cause of concern because the Dr just wants to watch it, but prayers would be appriciated that the fluids build back up and things turn out ok.

Thank you

[lingirl]

please continue to pray that God opens the ay for my son to get full time care for his wife with alzihimers   she is 58

[stubby226]

Lingirl, Vance2335, Iamanaddict,  and others that have left requests.  I will continue to ask God to heal, guide, bless, and protect.  My answered prays include I am a little more at peace regarding being classified as premantley disabled. My appt with my MD regarding lymph nodes was positive..they are enlarged but have not changed in size or shape.  

I need prays that I can develop a positive and realistic employment plan. That I will be open to whatever God sees fit for my future.  I also need pray for assistance and direction regarding medical insurance for my husband and I .  thankyou

[SassyLassie]

This is an awesome idea, how beautiful. I, too, am a born-again Christian.

I would appreciate prayers for an upcoming holtor monitor I will be wearing this Tuesday and Wednesday, I have PVC's that really scare me and I need peace of mind, already had an echo. Also, would appreciate prayers for my bad anxiety.

There is a gal also that I know who needs prayer for almost debilitating anxiety, she has even been in the hospital for them.

I will be praying for you all too, as I said, this is a wonderful idea. Thank you for posting it.

Hugs
Susie

[babypooh]

Have faith everybody! God is with us and we're all praying together for each other :)

[Vance2335]

It is so great to find others on here that are religious and willing to prey for others.
I thank everyone who has said a prayer for my family.

[sobermommy]

As I continue to pray for all above as well as all MedHelp members, I would like to ask for prayer for my sister Cindy. She was told yesterday that there is a "definable mass" in her right breast. We are praying that is will be something simple...and not cancer. I ask that God's will be done. God bless you all.

[stubby226]

Please pray for healing of my abcess (abscess)/cellulitis of my l ear.  Pray that I may get some rest soon.  Thank you.  Praise God, my niece that was in accident is doing so much better.  Still on crutches but with partial wt bearing.  Thank you for all your prayers.

[stubby226]

I hope the lack of requests means all is well.  I know it can also lead to no time to sure one's request.  I have apraise that I have not been sick yet from my HIV meds.  Prayer request is that I continue to be free of side effects.

[Melissa0116]

I have a prayer request for Hallbashes.  She is really sick and needs all of us to pray for her.  She has a kind and wonderful heart and never gives up.  She is a really strong young woman and I admire her for her strength and courage.    

There are so very many people that I want to recognize but to list them all would take up an entire page.  So, I am asking that we keep all med help members and all people in our thoughts and prayers.  Some are going through severe pain, grief, stress, ADHD, ADD, CFS, Fibromyalgia, pregnancy, anorexia, heart problems, HIV, AIDS, IBS, alcoholism, and many many other issues.  I just pray and hope that all will be well for everyone very soon if not today.  God Bless You All.

Melissa

[gokuangel]

Prayer request for every1 that is suffering with the Recession and is going through troubling times! So many of us are struggling just to pay bills and eat right now! So please pray for God to watch over all of us and help us to survive hardships!!

And for all of us ladies on and around the fertility and PG 18-34 forums struggling with infertility and treatments and getting that BFP please pray us ladies will have God's guidance,strength, and soon enough a true blessing from up above!!

[Barb135]

What a great idea this thread is. I second gokuangel's request for prayer for anyone who's been hit by the recession, lost jobs, etc.  

Would also like everyone to pray Ranaesheart, from Weight Loss & Dieting.  She's having some pretty serious issues these days also.  Praying that she finds a way to deal everything and gets back on her feet soon.  

Prayers, thoughts and wishes for anyone who needs anything.  God bless everyone.  

[April2]

Also, Jaybay -CL of the dog forum. Her husband lost his job, her mom has not been doing well and was in the hospital and now they are dealing with flooding in their home making it inhabitable for them to live right now.

And my friend, PrettyKitty, her little cat, Dillon, had a bad allergic reaction to chewing on some aquarium plants while she was away on a business trip. She's very worried about losing her cat right now. Please, please say a prayer for little Dillon. He's just a kitten.

Prayers for everyone on this site! I pray God will meet each and everyone right where their specific need is. God bless you all.

[margypops]

My thoughts go to Jim in houston TX who has his journal up on the side bar he says he is dying and really could use some help.,he is lonely and in a lot of pain he has congestive heart failure they have told him there is nothing to be done. I am thinking about you Jim wishing you well and hoping that you survive but if you dont that you will  find acceptance and freedom from pain.

[margypops]

His full handle is Jim0709 he could use some of your prayer and support, his journal is titled this is Difficult  on the side bar, thanks guys ..

[gokuangel]

[stubby226]

[SassyLassie]

For the folks in the Heart Rhythm forum who are so scared of their PVC's, and for the folks in the Anxiety forum for calmness and reassurance, and for all the folks in different forums, that they will find healing and comfort from these threads, their family and their doctors.

Also, please pray for my dad, I worry about his sadness, and for my depression and freedom from these terrible panic attacks and fears.

[Cherie762]
