Last week, my husband had to go to the ER for what we thought was a bad reaction to a new medication he had been prescribed. Bloodwork was strange, which led to imaging, which lead to the discovery of several possibly metastatic masses in his abdomen.
Because of Covid hysteria, I was not holding his hand when he learned of this. I found out about his imaging results via an automated text message from his medical chart app. I was sitting in the car, alone in the parking lot outside the ER, because no visitors are allowed. The ER doc refused to speak to me on the phone. It was one of the cruelest experiences of my life.
Thanks to Obamacare, we have no insurance. As a small business owner, I just cannot afford it. Our health sharing ministry may or may not pay. Our membership was lapsed because we got behind on the bills thanks to the new Covid lockdowns. Ironically I had renewed it the afternoon my husband got sick, but the payment didn’t clear until the next day. I’m afraid to call them to ask. I can’t take any more bad news.
I want to thank all the people who prayed for us last week when I first posted a comment about this on the open thread. I told my husband that there were people praying for him all over America. He was startled and not sure what to make of it…but it made him fell less alone.
It helped me so much, too. I said last week that I’m adverse to organized religion though I do consider myself Christian, at least culturally and spiritually if not as an active church-goer.
We still don’t have a diagnosis and the waiting is so hard on my husband. We still don’t know the cause of all his strange symptoms, or whether the masses are benign or cancer. He’s in misery.
Please say a prayer for him, and one for me, and one for our relationship. This is just the latest in several tough challenges we have faced as a couple in the past few years.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and Merry Christmas to you all.
Elizabetheross1776, you have my prayers for you and your husband.
Be strong! You aren’t alone! Do you know any friends who have the same Health Sharing Ministry? Perhaps they can ask the question for you, at least to get the stress of wondering off your mind?
Dear Elizabeth, my prayers are with you and your dear husband. May God bring peace and strength into your mind and may you find solace in knowing GOD is in charge. Bless all the caregivers working on your husband’s case, and may they have all the wisdom they need for a swift diagnosis. May your health insurance be reinstated. God bless you for being strong and caring.
Dear Elizabeth,
It’s too easy to forget that with all that’s going on in our country each person has their own battles. Don’t know if you are familiar with this story from the Bible, but King Jehoshaphat was overtaken with fear because three separate armies were attacking God’s people at once. He prayed this prayer:
2 Chronicles 20:12 – “WE DON”T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT OUR EYES ARE ON YOU”
When everything seems to be against you, just cry out to Jesus and He will come through with the help you need! I will pray for you and your husband and all the things that you shared with us from your heart. And remember, nothing is impossible with God!
The stories of how our love ones must be attended to during this virus is heartbreaking. I would be so upset if I had to be the one on the other end, and especially saddened if I was separated from my love one who is being attended to. Please know many of us understand your concern. A terrible trip to the ER is scary when we are face to face…but this sounds unbearable. Impersonal. But, you know Jesus can bring a peace and relief so we can get about the business of ministering to our sick families. Lord, in the Name of Jesus, quicken our friends spirit with Your love, peace, and calmness as her precious husband goes through this scary journey. Shed a quietness that brings relief from fear of the unknown and wrap them in Your love as they walk together…knowing You are the author of all good things. Enlighten the medical professionals with wisdom and special compassion as they explore the medical issues. With thanksgiving for opportunities to pray, amen.
Elizabeth, I am so sorry to read this. I pray that the Lord will bring peace, clarity, & resolution to your situation. I pray that He will provide healing to your husband where it is needed. I pray that He will comfort & strengthen you both & take you through this valley. God bless.
Dear Lord please be with Elizabeth and her Husband, heal him by Your Mighty Hand Lord Jesus. Strengthen their faith in you Lord, for You alone are God and all things work together for good to those who love you! We love you Lord and we love our sister Elizabeth and her husband. The Lord is MIGHTY to Save!!!!
Praying for you and your husband, Elizabethross1776!
May God bless and heal your husband of cancer, restoring him to good health, and grant you both peace.
I just came here to ask for a prayer and saw your post. May God bless you and your husband. I will pray for you both. I have asked for prayers here before and I believe in their power. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Rough times, but good news. Jesus still heals. We know that he hears us and he cares. Thank you for caring about him, whether churchgoer or not. Those complacent times are gone. Now we seek him on our own, as well as stand for his laws and his good and the freedom that he promises.
Jesus, please heal the husband of ElizabethRoss1776,and give them strength, courage, and support for the next year. Give them wisdom in the midst of the shutdown. Give them financial provision for their lives and the lives of those they love. Show your mighty power and close, loving presence, dear Jesus. For your sake, and for your country – one nation under God, we ask you. Amen. (Thanks for healing, Jesus.)
I’m going through a similar situation. But, I am the patient. I understand the loneliness you feel and empathize with you. At least you have each other. I’m completely alone. My prayers are with you both. It is a horrible time to be getting such news. The only thing I can hold on to is God. I hope you find comfort through your struggles.
You’re not alone Linda. I rarely come to this page and have never commented here. But something led me here, and here I sit, typing words to try to comfort someone I’ve never met. There are probably thousands more like me who have read your story and have not commented. Just know that people hear you and are praying for you. I pray for peace and healing for you.
I’m late seeing this, but I pray that the Lord would be with you & strengthen you, Linda. I pray that He would put His healing touch upon you & carry you through this. God bless you.
Your family is in my prayers, I know what you’re going through as I went through that and more. It’s what opened this former dem’s eyes up to the horror of government controlled health care was all about. I will keep you both in my rosary intentions.
I also go to sancta.org – where they have a beautiful “step-by-step” instructional guidance on how to pray the rosary, plus the history of the miracle of Guadalupe as well as a prayer screen – you can also pray along with the rosary with or without the beautiful music –
my hope is that many, many people would know that others are praying right along with them at that moment, without all the parking issues (maybe one could also someday organize a giant zoom rosary prayer session) –
it only takes about 20 minutes to pray the rosary . . . the mysteries are basically the Gospel . . . some people think that one is praying TO Mary but I don’t look at it that way, I am praying WITH Mary for my loved ones
have prayed the rosary silently in my heart, brain while sitting alongside someone having an echo (Dad – who had dementia – of course the echo was not painful – but he had to be good and lay still, as long as I was holding his hand, he was good – it is so agonizing to think of people going through this worried about their loved ones going through things alone, not being able to be there at their side)
My prayers are being said for you and your husband…across the miles I send this message. Dropped in to this website from another link..seeing the prayer link..so glad I did. Please stay strong and remembers many others are praying for you. May the love and prayers of others surround you and comfort your soul. God bless..
Praying for you both. I was going to a free clinic for my healthcare due to obomacare. I am white, extremely low income. The volunteer at clinic said I had emphysema and sent me for chest X-ray. They replied that I needed a CT scan but the free clinic didn’t send me for one. Long/short, I had stage III lung cancer. Went to ER they admitted n did a bronchoscopy which gave result. Saw Oncologist who told me no professional would see me with no insurance and it would take a year before Medicaid could be approved ( it took 4 months actually) I applied for financial assistance at the hospital and when that was approved he agreed to start chemo. I live in Ga. Financial aid doesn’t cover specialists like anesthesiologists but it did over oncology/radiology. I hope this helps you and I pray you have a good result. God bless
Prayers for you and your husband. God bless you both.

My dad is in a nursing home in Washington. We were just notified that his covid test came back positive. He’s been on oxygen for a week, so he may be fighting it off on his own, but he is basically alone there except for the nursing staff. My sister is nearby, but the rest of the family is scattered about the country so he doesn’t have any other family to visit. He may or may not be moved to a covid hospital ward. I am just praying that he makes it through this – he’s made it through cancer and a laundry list of other ailments. And I pray that wherever they put him he doesn’t feel isolated and alone. That is the worst – takes the hope out of life. Thank you all for the prayers that you lift up to our Heavenly Father.
VG, I pray for your dear father that the Lord would fill him with His peace & heal him of covid. May He also provide you with His love & comfort. God bless.
Dear Victory Cardener, I pray your dear Dad feels the presence of God as he continues to heal from COVID. I pray his caretakers are kind and attentive. I also pray for you and your family during this difficult time.
Joining you in prayer, Victory Gardener,
… for your father in the nursing home, for his good health and healing from the China virus, and so he will know that he is loved.
Victory Gardener, I’ll be saying a Prayer for your Dad and your family!
Do you know any of the nurses who are taking care of him? Is it possible for the Nurse to Video Skype or Facetime you to your father? So at least hopefully he can hear and see you and at least feel less isolated?

May the peace of the Christ Child remain with you.

My best friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November. Following a surgical resection, she is now completing her phase 1 radiation and chemotherapy. She is now fatigued beyond anything she has ever experienced. She will have a 1 month respite before beginning a regular course of chemo 5 days on, 23 days off. Please pray for the miracle of healing and strength for her as she meets this challenge with faith and grace.
Sunny Walker,
Joining you in prayer for your best friend, for her good health and complete healing. For strength and energy to be restored so that she can live life in abundance. For her to receive all the spiritual gifts that will help her. I’m praying for a miracle. Please Lord Jesus.
Sunny, I pray that the Lord will provide comfort & healing for your friend, & that He will endue her with the strength to make it through this. God bless.
Dear Sunny, may God be with your best friend as she completes phase 1of radiation and chemotherapy. May she be comfortable before the next phase, and keep her faith strong in God the Almighty Healer. God please be with her family and calm their minds; God please be with all of her caretakers and give them the wisdom they need to best treat her. For these things I pray.
Kitty Trump
December 22, 2020 10:23 pm
Please pray for my mother. She is in the hospital for probable sepsis. I am so distraught that have called me about advance directive and asked to put a central line in. She sounds better though. She fell and got a leg wound some weeks ago which is the start of this.
Also, I feel I am just not as good of a person as i ought to be even though I try I don’t know why I can’t be nicer to everyone so if you know a prayer for that I would like to be a better person. Thank you all.
Kitty…..first let me offer my prayers for both you and your mother. Second….if you weren’t basically a nice and caring person you would not be questioning yourself. Truly unkind people never question their own motives or actions. Lastly….anyone who loves felines has a place in my heart.
Be well, and do not worry unnecessarily. Your mother is in the hands of our Lord, the greatest healer.
Thank you Ad rem for your prayers and kind words. I am so worried. She is septic and they are trying to get her fever down now. She is tough and I told her people are praying for her. I just need to be nicer to people. Thank you again.
Kitty, I pray that it would not be sepsis, but if it is that our Lord would heal your mom, that He would give the doctors wisdom & guidance to treat her, & that He would strengthen & comfort both you & her. It’s good that she sounds better though.
As for the other, the answer to everything lies in Jesus Christ & what He did for us at the cross. Remember that Jesus paid it all for us; it’s not within any of us to be “good” people apart from the Holy Spirit Who lives inside of us. When we keep our faith in Christ & Him crucified, that gives the Holy Spirit the latitude to work within us to shape our lives to His will. If we are in Christ, when God looks at us He doesn’t see us & our sins—He sees Jesus Who has imputed His righteousness to us by His grace through our faith in Him. You can rest in that assurance. God bless.
Thank you. It is sepsis and they are working to get her fever down.
Jesus would never say the mean things I say. I pray for help but continue to act the same most of the time. Still trying though.
Prayers that the doctors will be able to get her fever down & that the Lord will heal her of the sepsis. Just give it all to the Lord, Kitty. We can’t do anything by ourselves no matter how hard we try. If we remain in Christ He will deliver us, so just keep seeking Him.
Kitty, most people I know think I am nice and sweet but one time when I was discussing my Grandmother’s situation with the nursing home administrator and I was frustrated beyond belief, I said something rather rude and then he was going to have me leave or he would call the police department to have me leave . . . I became distraught as I now knew my grandmother would worry all night because I said I was coming right back . . . would she worry and grieve thinking I was in a car accident or imagine all kinds of horrible things?
Then I reached for my cell phone while I was by the nurse’s station, tried to call the ombudsman’s number that was on a poster above the drinking fountain . . . tried to press the damn numbers but was trembling so much, finally just dialed my Mom’s number, she answered, “get him on the phone, I’ll talk to him” . . . apparently the nursing home administrator thought I had reached the ombudsman or ombudswoman . . . I could hear my Mom’s voice booming through the phone . . . his tone towards me totally changed, I still had to leave but they promised me they would tell Grandmother everything was all right . . .
it was a horrible experience because I still worried all night and it made me feel like I was going to have a stroke or heart attack going out to the car and driving home
that was back in 1994
I am just telling you thing long little story because I was fit to be tied with worry and I was “not very nice” . . . go through that little experience and Mom and I continued to visit and stand up for Grandmother all through her 4 and a half months there (recuperating from a hairline fracture of her pelvis, but also developed pneumonia plus she already had a colostomy which I had learned how to help her with – but worried about that, too – so always had a fresh box two-pound box of See’s Candies in the drawer where her supplies were, hoping they would use the right tape and everything)
we got her back home and she kept going for 9 more years (three weeks away from 100)
We both (Mom and I) felt very judgmental and not very nice as we found so many things that were very wrong and we actually did meet with the local ombudsman and gave him a long list –
Just let all that go, about not being nice – you DO have to be polite and pleasant no matter how upset you are – and I regretted my comments that night, not because I did not agree with myself but that it would not actually help Grandmother that I got the guy mad at me –
we will just keep praying for you and that’s right, if you really weren’t a nice person, you would not care!
I hope Kitty and her Mom are doing all right . . . now I realize that her prayer request was back in December . . . God bless all of you dear people here!
Dear Kitty Trump,
Joining you in prayer for the healing of your mother’s leg and her overall health, may she get well soon and be completely restored to good health. Jesus, I trust in You.
For your second intention, here’s a prayer I’ve said, because we all have room for improvement:
“Dear God I love You, thank You for everything. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to be a better person.”
Kitty,
Prayers for your mother and you. It is so difficult right now whenever there is a medical need. It’s difficult to get in and see a doctor, its difficult to get in and visit your loved one. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is and not by our choices.
The Good News is, Jesus is never difficult to get in to see. Don’t worry about praying “just the right way”. Just talk to him like you talk to us here. He knows what you mean to say.
We are all Christians because we ARE sinners. If you have a chance, go back a couple of days and check out Menageries post of Fr. Mike. He can be a little corny, but he hits it spot on. Take your bad to the Lord. He can handle it.
Dear Kitty, may you know you are never truly alone. May God be with you and ease your mind of your worries. And may God cure your dear Mother of sepis and give her body all the strength needed to fully, and swiftly, overcome this, May her leg wound heal fully. Many blessings and caring thoughts are wished for you.
Kitty, Lifting you and your mother up in prayer before our Lord that His Blessings and Peace will be granted in your lives for healing and for your relationship with Him. ?

Just as my son was a functioning addict who was able to hold down a job, I am a functioning griever. He died a year ago today on the job after his heart finally gave out from the constant abuse. Most people think I’m doing just fine too because they don’t see me cry every day like I do and I can still make a joke, smile, cook, clean etc. while my heart is still shattered. Only God and other grieving parents know my pain. Think of me today and maybe put a prayer for me in your daily prayer.
Dear Cheryl, my heart aches for you and for the deep hole in your heart. No matter the life your son lived, he is your son and you love and miss him. May God be a balm to your soul and may you find moments of peace and strength, and some snippets of joy. I am holding you in my prayers with all the others here.
Dear Cheryl,
Praying for you especially today.
I lost a grandmother on this date back in 1999. Yesterday I saw something that reminded me of her, and cried for 3 hours, all the while knowing that this reminder came out of love.
Your son remains on your heart because of love.
Much love to you this Christmas, may God bless you.
Dear Cheryl…God be with you in your time of grief. My heart cries for you. Praying and lifting you up before our Father in Heaven that He will reach down and give you Comfort and Peace today. God Bless You!

Both a praise and a prayer for me.
Praise: Thank you, Lord, for bringing my parents safely to my home in Dallas on the Friday before Christmas. Thank you for the time I was able to spend with them, as I was able to take the whole week off of work to be with them. Thank you for all the things that we did together and for all the chances to snuggle up to them and tell them that I love them.
Prayer: Please, Father, be with them as they are flying home tonight. Get them safely back to Chicago and provide them with a kind taxi driver who will carry their bags into the house. Watch over them and protect them, even if the world goes mad. And please, Father God, be with me in the loneliness of my empty apartment. I know they had to leave and go home, but I want them back so much it hurts. I’m so tired of being alone…
Sunstar, I pray that our Lord will light your parents’ way safely home. I also pray that He may fill the emptiness of your heart with His loving presence. God bless.
Dear sunstarunicorn I pray for you to know you are not alone in this world, and that this feeling within you subsides, I know it is difficult to say goodbye to parents when you do not know the next time you will be able to embrace them. May God bless and watch over your parents and you too.

Prayers for my 17 year old son who is having surgery this morning. Praying for a quick recovery and successful recuperation. Also praying for the surgeon and for the Lord to keep her mind keen, hands steady and true.
God please be with the skilled surgeon and all the care support team for Bugsdaddy’s son. May his son have a complete and swift recovery. For this I pray. Amen.
Well, things didn’t go exactly as planned. We hit a couple of complications which kept my son in the hospital a couple of extra days. We made it home today! That’s a good way to start off a new year. I know e will be much more comfortable now and will be able to rest easier too. (As will I and Bugsmommy!)
Thank you for all the prayers, we do so appreciate everyone here. The a Good News is, prayers really do work. Don’t ever forget that.
Thank you again,
Brian
My brother in law finally passed away from his 9 month hospitalization from a brain injury caused by a garden tiller in the summer of 2019. It was a heroic effort by a wonderful, funny,beloved, Christian man as complications blocked every improvement in see saw fashion. His wife fought gallantly with many prayer group supporting him and his family during the journey as Covid impaired his wife being in attendance in a sporadic way as he journeyed to rehab, nursing home and back to the hospital numerous times. The steadfast reliance on Gods will is sustained by his widow and I ask for prayers uplifted for her and her 3 sons and 3 grandchildren. During the 17 month ordeal he did have many months back home with the family and met his new granddaughter before he went to the hospital last February. The time of healing was a joy for the family and that time was celebrated in thanksgiving to God for the blessings I that time
Five days after his death his sister passed away from radiation chemotherapy for lung cancer. Thankfully no one has contacted Covid. In four years the family lost my spouse and two other siblings leaving only my brother in law. My family sustained me after my loss and I am so sad that Covid inhibits the way everyone can offer the same level of support for everyone as they deal with grief loneliness and separation during this Covid times.
we have my mom now in a nursing home and my father at home separated by the Covid menace as well. My daughter gave birth to my first grandchild in November and I pray for the safety of her family as she will return to a healthcare job in the new year. Only our faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior can help so many endure the challenges of the Covid times. Blessings do endure and we must vow to support all those in need during this challenging time. Please pray for my family and others in this most precious time.
Prayers for you and all your extended family. I pray that your faith remains strong I believe we can only remain faithful to the Lord no matter what happens. No idea of what or why things happen as they do.
It sounds to me like your faith is built on a very strong foundation. I am glad to share this small space in the Treehouse with you.
Joining you in prayer for you and all your family, LIG!
May God bless you and provide for all your needs with His loving care and grant you peace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
LIG, I pray for you & your family, to continue to lean on the Lord Jesus for comfort, peace, & strength that surpass all human understanding. God keep you & bless you.
Dear LIG, may God be with you and all your family at this very difficult time. May your first grandchild bring you joy and may your daughter be blessed in Motherhood always.

my mother died on Christmas Day all alone in a nursing home, we are devastated, pray for me and my brothers and our families
Praying for you cherp, as well as your brothers and family. It is awful to have to go through this mess alone, but if we have faith remember, we are never truly all alone.
Dear cherp,
Please accept my heartfelt prayers and condolences on the loss of your mother whom Jesus called home on His birthday, may she and all your family be surrounded with the peace that only He can give. May God bless you and all your family and loved ones.
Cherp, there are no human words that can suffice to convey how horrible this is & how sad it makes me to read. Lord, please grant these people your peace, not as the world gives, but Your precious peace that is the only thing that can comfort them in such a time as this. Please lift them up & strengthen them. Amen.
Dear Cherp, my prayers are with you and all of your family as you process the passing of your beloved Mother. She is at full peace with God in heaven now with no pain nor suffering. May you find comfort in the many beautiful memories you have of her.

Prayer request: been fighting Covid for 12 days and I need healing. Also need assurance of salvation. This virus has done a number on me
Dear Gregg, I pray you heal and fully recover from Covid. May God and all the guardian angels watch over you. May you have peace of mind to know salvation will be yours. For these things I pray. Amen.
Dear Gregg,
Praying for your good health and complete healing from Covid, and joining you in praying for salvation:
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
Gregg, I pray the Lord will heal you of covid & give you peace in your heart to know that you are saved. If you’ve trusted in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are. There will be times it won’t feel like it, but we don’t walk by feelings—we walk by faith. May He bless you & keep you always.
What helped me to return “home” was a reading His Word. When I was blaming the Lord for not helping me,a woman challenged me to read the Bible. At the time I didn’t own one, so I went to a library and checked one out. Having learned speed-reading in college, I spent a day and into that night getting that done. During that time. Jesus came alive to me, and I felt close and free to talk to Him. (btw, the New Testament is only about 300 pages)
The short time of my reading (really skimming) didn’t teach me much; there was no pondering over anything. The big takeaway was I wanted more; I wanted for my crappy life to be fixed. I was no longer alone, but it took time before I was no longer a “babe in Christ”. I am no preacher or scholar but merely a laborer.
Always remember that prayer is a conversation, where one both speaks and listens.
Gregg, If you are not yet healed, look online for online doctors who can subscribe Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. They work despite what the lying CDC claims.
As for your salvation, Jesus paid the price for that 2,00 years ago so as long as you believe in Him and repent of your sins, you are assured of receiving salvation. Amen.
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Prayers for your family, Don, that the Lord will strengthen you for this battle. May you put on the whole armor of God, being strong in Him & His power, & steeped in the Word. God bless.
“LORD, I pray for Don and his sons, he is fully involved in the battle in the spiritual realm that is ramping up. Keep him and his family safe in Your Will, cover him with Your wings, give him all of the tools and armor he and his family needs, hedge him around with thorns, and cover him with Your Blood. In Your precious name I pray, Jesus, Amen.”
My healthy 31 year old son in law died 2 months ago, totally unexpected when his heart suddenly misfired(extremely rare) while he was reading my 2 year old a bedtime story.
It was a horror scene that can’t be described.
The wonderful medics worked so hard, got a heartbeat, but at the hospital, 2 days later was declared brain dead. He was an organ donor who helped so many people, except his heart, that they are attempting to figure out how it happened.
I ask for prayers for my 30 year old daughter and beautiful little grandson who are simply devastated and heartbroken.
You here at the Treehouse have such faith and unfortunately ours is very shaky.
Please ask the Lord to help them and my family that was there that terrible night.
Thank you.
This is one of the most heartbreaking posts I’ve read since we started the Treehouse. The fact that even the doctors have not been able to discern a reason for his passing, makes it hard to wrap one’s head around any how or why being contemplated.
I will pray for you all to find some way to understand and cope with this devastating loss to your family.
Dear Cliffsaheadwolveesbehind,
Please accept my prayers and condolences for you and your family on the loss of your son-in-law. I’m very sorry that he was taken from you and the rest of the family at such a young age.
I am so very sorry for your entire family’s loss. I am praying for your family, especially your daughter and your grandson.

Please pray for guidance. We are in a blue state and are seriously thinking of moving to somewhere more freedom loving. But where? Sometimes God wants us to stay in situations we don’t like because he has a plan we aren’t aware of yet. Before this nightmare began, we were going to retire to maybe Delaware or Maryland, but my son suggested not to go anywhere near DC which he has a point. Thanks for your prayers.
Joining you in prayer, PJ Patriot, as you discern where’s the best place for you to move to in your retirement.
Sundance encourages us, “Live your best life!” Ask God where that is for you. Where is it said that you have to live somewhere you dislike because God MIGHT want you there, MAYBE? … When you have the opportunity to know, love, and serve God better with your time, treasure, and talents somewhere else?
I know where I’d retire if it were me and boy howdy I wish I could move there now … * smiles * … But you’re you, so such an important decision is best made by you so I won’t tell you my preference since you don’t know me and haven’t asked.
That said, I used to live in Maryland many years ago for a short while and it was okay, can’t speak from personal experience as to what it’s like now. Eventually the Lord led me somewhere else, and where He led me feels like where I’m meant to be, at least at this time.
As for Delaware, years ago while job hunting, I was offered the possibility of an interview there. The thought of actually moving to Delaware caused so much stress that I actually had heart pain (which seemed like an unusually strong warning sign especially as I was rather young then), so I made the choice not to interview for the job. That’s just me.
Anyways, pray, hope, and don’t worry … and I wish you the best of happiness and success wherever you go! 🙂

I feel bad asking when others here are having so much worse problems, but we could use the prayer assistance…
My husband got let go from his job over a week ago – about the same time the $600 checks were generated. Small growing company expanding into the area; thought they could hire him permanently but a contract fell through and they let go more than half their people. He had a couple of other offers, and then Trump conceded and now… there are just no jobs in Charleston unless you’re a medical professional or have a CDL. He even looked into helping out seasonally with the shipping and all the jobs were 30+ miles away.
The temp company he’s with right now really is trying to find him something. But they can’t produce what’s not there. We have just enough in savings for this months’ bills, but we really need him to find a job this month in order to be ready for next month.
I’m not physically capable, at this point, of taking a full-time job, even if I could find one. Even the retail jobs vanished. And then there’s the very real (likely) possibility that if I could find an open position, no one will hire a woman four-months-pregnant who previously left a job to take care of her newborn full-time.
So I’m asking for prayers that my husband would get a job – either a new situation, or that the previous company would land another contract and be able to call their people back.
TreeClimber, I pray that your husband gets the job that’s exactly right for you both, whether that be with the other company or something new altogether. May the Lord lead & guide you. God bless.
Dear TreeClimber, may God watch over you, your husband, and your growing family. I pray a good job opportunity presents itself quickly and that you need not worry. May his new job be with a family minded employer and one he is happy at.

Let us pray to St. Peregrine for all those struggling with the Big “C”. And for those of us who are about to suffer the long dark days of tyranny, let us ask God to give us the strength to endure what is about to befall us. Let us also ask for forgiveness for not turning to our Lord before this evil cursed us.
This is taken from The Word Among Us:
“All our lives we have been taught that anger is one of the seven deadly sins. But here we see Jesus, who was sinless, getting angry. How can we resolve that contradiction?
The truth is, anger is not always bad. In fact, sometimes it can be good. St. Thomas Aquinas taught that righteous anger is a strong reaction to injustice, and its purpose is to move us to correct whatever wrong we have witnessed. For instance, let’s say a neighbor has just said insulting things against a new member of your neighborhood. “Good anger” can move you to defend this newcomer or to gently correct your neighbor.
But anger can easily turn sinful. For example, “sinful anger” at your neighbor’s comments might move you to fire off an insult to him that only escalates the situation. When something like this happens, your anger not only harms your neighbor but also eats away at your own peace of mind. Anger like this robs us of joy and breeds distrust—and it can easily lead to other sins.
Jesus should be our model for the kind of anger that can spur us to positive action. In today’s Gospel, his anger moved him to take action. He didn’t allow his anger to fester, nor did he let it explode into rage. Rather, he controlled it with the grace of the Spirit and channeled it for good.
Notice that Jesus also felt sadness about his enemies’ lack of compassion—Mark says he was angry and “grieved” at their hardhearted attitude (3:5). In a way, righteous anger always includes a sense of sadness over whatever injustice we are seeing.
When you are angry at someone, remember Jesus’ example. Your anger may not be so intense if you combine it with a sincere desire that the person will change for the good of others and for himself.
Jesus understands how easy it is to let our anger get the best of us. Fortunately, we can lean on him. We can examine our motives and actions and ask Jesus to forgive us if we’ve done something wrong. Jesus is always ready to soften our hearts so that we have more room to love.
“Forgive me, Jesus, for the times I have given in to sinful anger.”
We received this in the Treehouse email this morning…..
Please pray for healing for Kathy Reding who has just been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Kathy is a nurse, has never smoked and has 3 beautiful daughters who are all school teachers. She has a loving husband, many siblings and many grandchildren. Please pray for her return to good health.
Dr. James Dobson wrote (paraphrased) that none understand the tidal wave of panic which goes through a person when a marriage begins to unravel. Fortunately, there are many who understand. Unfortunately, they too wrestled with that beast.
Brother, you’re not alone. Endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. That sounds trite in the face of what is happening. It seems a platitude. But, as in all of God’s holy word, there is so much comforting truth in these few words.
I lost that which was precious to me. Apparently, another person gets a vote in the matter too. Oh how I struggled, holding on to that which was so dear. A friend said I had a nervous breakdown. I think that is probably correct. It was only by the Spirit which I was able to come back. When I finally, truly let go, ~POOF~ immediately I felt the immense weight lift from me.
A troubled marriage can come back even stronger. Mine did not. But if I have any advice it is to not hold too tight. Men by their nature seek to fix things. A knowing friend told me that by the time a man finds out what is really on the mind of his wife, she had already been thinking it for quite some time, even years. Which means he is way behind so it might be the worst thing he can do in trying to fix things. As always, prayer to our LORD Christ Jesus is the best. But we must act accordingly. As has been said, Let go, let God.
If I am out of order, please simply ignore. Prayers sent in supplication for all marriages for they are a treasure from God.
Dana, Words from people to those suffering are of little comfort, though the Word of God is truth eternal. I know this to be so for I too suffered through a similar situation. The only reason I am alive today is because of my faith in God and in His holy word, so hold on to Jesus, for life. It is sufficient until we are united in Heaven. Pax Dominus Vobiscum.

These are monsters. We need divine healing and intervention from our Lord.
Brenda,
I share your concerns and pray for the Lord to help us make things right, as in according to his plan, not ours. Also, I pray for you to not live in fear, but to live your life. He will set opportunities in our path for us to help keep things on track for his plan. We just need to be aware and prepared to do His Will.

Praise God to the uttermost!
Some months ago I asked for prayer that it be revealed why I was so often seeing and hearing the number 420.
It has been revealed, at least in part. Sometimes we can be so blind that we not see that which is not hidden. The answer has been there all along. Yes, in God’s holy word. It was not revealed to me by my own sudden wakening. It was through the speaking of several men of God. I at once felt convicted for my lack of humility then immense joy for the revelation.
Revelation, indeed. It is there in the book of Revelation chapter 4 where four and twenty elders are mentioned. Rather than say more, I’ll use this as opportunity to incite y’all to read the scripture for yourself.
Let us continue to seek God in our highest in His holiest to His glory.
‘Take heed’ is the answer for now.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I canot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I’m a firefighter working long hours during the wuhan virus. My father was a world war II vet. I get to eat dinner with my family once a week. This past dinner, my sister in law and her family came over and told me that she is going to vaccinate herself and her whole family. Please help pray for her so that God can change her mind about this hoax of a vaccine that will do great harm to her and her family and show her God’s miraculous grace.
Cmdr, I pray that the Lord will lift you up & ever be with you & protect you in your work. I also pray that your SIL would seek the Lord before doing anything that could harm her or her family. God bless.
We received this in the Treehouse email this morning…
Good Morning Family,
I wanted to reach out to you & ask for Prayers for my family & I. I am a single widow Mom of 2 precious daughters & after my husband had passed in a accident a few years back things have been interesting to say the least. I have always tried speaking God’s Truth into the atmosphere because I do believe the Enemy get’s a foothold in when we choose to live in our “bad” seasons instead of remembering GODS WORD that our battle has already been won! Our perception of how we look at things is KEY!
After 5 Years of hard work & Great Success in my career I was laid off due to Covid-19 & had forced me to collect Unemployment but I did decide to start online classes towards a Career Change & continue looking for work in the meantime. We haven’t received Unemployment since December due to the Government deciding to force Marylander’s to completely RE-OPEN their claims again which has stalled everyone’s benefits until they review all claimants accounts again. I truly believe in Prayer & I know it makes a difference in our spiritual lives!!
Any prayers for us would be so appreciated… Our prayers for you & your family as well!
Dear Shannon, I pray for a new opportunity to present to you, one that makes you happy and earns you a good income you are deserving of. I pray your precious daughters trust in God’s plan, and their hard working and deserving Mom who loves them so. Your perception is beautiful. I pray it brings you peace and trust, even in weak moments. God has you in the palm of his hand.
Treepers….just found this on our daily OPEN, and thought it should be seen by our powerful group of prayer warriors.
From “Your Tour Guide”…
Hijacking this hopeful thread for a prayer
request of my own. For my wife, of 30 years.
Became confused at a medical appointment
yesterday, EMTs called. Taken to hospital with
suspected stroke. I was allowed ( despite covid)
to come into the ER so neurologist could ask me
more medical history. She was completely unresponsive
by this time, approximately 45 minute later. That was
early afternoon yesterday, and she still hasn’t woken up.
Oh, and she’s on a ventilator. No , she doesn’t have covid.
Will have to strangle the next person who asks.
Anyway, my wife is seriously sick. My kids and I are
serously scared. Have the neighborhood, friends in
town, our Sunday school class all praying. Friends in
Dayton, Akron, Savannah all praying.
Throwing this out for some treepers to join us in prayer
for my wife. Thanks in advance. It’s been an awful 24 plus
hours.
Dear Your Tour Guide, May God bless and watch over your dear wife and heal her of whatever her ailment is. May God be with you and give you strength as you help your wife recover. May you and your children not feel so frightened of the unknown, And blessings to all of your neighbors, friends, and prayer warriors…may each and every prayer they pray be answered by God Almighty. Amen.

Our retired pastor (first name Bill) has had severe complications from lupus for many years.
A few weeks ago he was admitted to the hospital and put b on the heart transplant waiting list.
Last night his wife learned he has contracted Covid-19 in the hospital. She has not been allowed to see him since he was admitted several weeks ago.
Please lift him and his wife up in prayer.
Lord have mercy on your servant Bill and his family. We pray that if it is your will, you would spare his life. Please comfort and strengthen him and keep him unto life eternal. In the name of Jesus, who lives and reigns, Amen!
Prayers for Pastor Bill that the Lord would heal him of covid & allow him to receive a new heart, & for strength for his dear wife & family. God bless.
After several days of very high fever and difficulty breathing, Pastor Bill was slightly better yesterday.
Thank you, Lord. Because of his heart condition, certain treatment options are restricted.
Amen he is doing better. I will continue to pray for his healing from COVID and that he is able to receive a new heart soon. May God give peace and strength to is wife.
Pastor Bill’s wife sent the following update today. Please keep praying.
“Today marks two weeks since Bill’s first Covid-19 symptoms. He continues to be quite ill. Last Sunday he was feeling better than he had, but by nightfall his fever and cough had escalated. Every day this week he has spiked fevers back up in the 102-degree zone. His blood oxygen levels have been low enough to require continuous supplemental oxygen, but I am thankful that he is not requiring a ventilator. He is very weak and sleeps most of the time, so I have not been able to communicate with him much.
The covid has compromised Bill’s status for heart transplant; the very reason he was in the hospital at the time he contracted the virus. He is currently listed as IN-ACTIVE, and doctors are unable to guess when that might change. This has been a very disappointing turn of events, but as All things are done according to God’s plan and decision…(Ephesians 1) we will continue to look forward in faith. Please continue to pray for Bill’s recovery and renewed progress toward a new heart.”

My Mom fell again today. She broke her arm and busted up her lip. She has advanced Alzheimer’s and is too mobile for her own good. She just has a really bad case that is difficult to manage.
Things had finally been going well for her.. I’m so sad. For me, for her, for my Dad. I want to cry at the pain she will be in. I miss my Mom so much, only getting to see her intermittently. My Dad has strength that amazes me.
My husband has been strength and support. My children miss their grandma.
Sorry for the rambling, and thank you Treehouse, for your prayers. ?
Lida, I pray for your mom that the Lord will allow her to recover quickly & not be in pain. I also pray for you, your dad, your husband, your mom, & your children that He will give you HIs peace & strength regarding this situation. Blessings!
Lida, praying that God will wrap His arms around all of you and that you will be comforted with the sure knowledge of His love for your mom, your dad, you, and the grandchildren. May her arm and lip heal quickly and may God grant her lucid periods when you can share memories and just love up on her. Peace!
Dear Lida, I pray for God to give strength and healing to your dear Mother. May she not suffer in pain and may she allow the physicians and nurses to take good care of her. I pray for you, your Father, and all of your family to trust in God and know he is with you all.
Lida – my prayers for your mom and for you and your family. I am so sad, because my mother, is in a similar situation. she was hospitalized for covid (no cough, no fever, just severe loss of appetite) and while convalescing, fell, fractured her thigh and has been trapped between hospital and rehab hospital ever since. She also has dementia, so gets up, and reinjures herself (knee, and today, arm). The covid lockdown at the rehab hospital means she is often alone and the phone calls to her are excruciatingly anguish-filled. I guess I am saying, I feel your pain. My prayers. Please, all, pray for my mom, too.
Uvaldegirl, I pray for your mom that our Lord would heal her of covid & bring clarity to her mind, peace to her soul, & healing to her physical wounds. I also pray that He will give you support & comfort in dealing with this. God bless you.
It is so incredibly sad and painful what is being done to the elderly. My heart breaks. I will pray for you and your mom and Lida and her mom as well.

My prayer is regarding the impending Equality Act, which has recently passed the House of Representatives and will be voted upon in the Senate soon. This legislation would ultimately deprive us from many of the rights that we have long fought for and cherished, such as religious freedom and women’s suffrage, which truly weighs on my heart. I’d like to pray for the Senate today, that the Holy Spirit would transform their hearts and minds to do what is good for our country’s general welfare by voting no on this bill.
In an effort to take some action, I’ve recently started a petition to the Senate on change.org. If those of you reading this don’t mind, I would really appreciate of you could help out by signing and sharing it here. Thank you, and God bless.

Today I’m asking for prayers for a pregnant friend and her three-year-old son. She got a message yesterday from her husband telling her the short trip he left on the previous night was a lie and he wasn’t coming back. She’s more or less okay financially – she’s been the financial provider all along – but they’ve got some bills coming up and he drained the accounts before he left. And of course, she and her son are dealing with the emotional fallout and trauma. So I’d just ask that y’all remember them in your prayers for awhile. Thanks.
Praying for your friend and her three y/o son. (But….first I’m gonna have to wait for my blood pressure to somewhat subside. Words can’t describe what I feel towards that soon-to-be ex-husband.)
She’s telling me things about him I never knew – apparently he’s a real thug. And yes… I’ve been refraining from using the descriptions of him that occurred to me. At least her manager is understanding.
She said she’s got ten weeks left. We’ve been out of anything but intermittent contact for awhile, since she lives several states away, but mine was the only number she had besides her parents and he’s the one who has/had the FB, so I was the only one she could get hold of.
Many of our longtime Treepers will remember one of our most devoted Treepers, JFP (JustFactsPlease). She’s been away for a while now, dealing with various family and health concerns. Today, we received an email from her closest friend, Sandra.
Our friend has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, biopsies will be on March 12. She still battles many other health problems and would love some prayers from her Treeper friends sent her way. She had cataract surgery, and was so looking forward to getting back in CTH,but vision problems persist.
I’ll email her friend Sandra letting them all know that I’ve posted their prayer request. Sandy and her husband Gary will greatly appreciate reading your messages of care and support as she recuperates.
This is horrible. I think of her often & have been wondering how she was doing. Few people I know (on the internet or IRL) have the strength & resolve of this woman, so if anyone can beat this I know she can. Lord, touch our dear sister JFP with your healing power, restore her, attend to all her needs be they physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, or domestic, & comfort her & Gary through this. I ask it all in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
I’ve personally met Sandy and Gary. They are very wonderful people
I will be praying for you both.
I have met Sandy and Gary personally They are truly wonderful people and have been through so much . Cancer is such an ugly and scary word. As you know I’ve beaten it 3 times So can you. Please get in touch if you need to talk .I will be praying for you and Gary and I will let Sarah aka Ma’’know.
be well

Prayers up for one of my favorite treepers JustFactsPlease. A few years ago, when Sybrina Fulton(TRAYMOM) was scheduled to speak at the HS right next to my house in Portland Oregon, I frantically posted a request for assistance. JFP jumped into action and immediately emailed the school district and many others. I did the same. By the next morning, adding in my call to the Lars Larson show, we were pleased to discover that Sybrina’s speaking engagement(s) all three scheduled for the next day had been cancelled. JFP wrote such a succinct condemnation of he trashcan touring mother of shame that the school district actually believed that she was a concerned parent. LOL.
JFP then proceded to tell me, Jeffrey, “YOU ARE ANDREW BREITBART?”
I will never forget that moment as it was a right of passage for me and reminded me that I too can have an impact with a little help from my friends.
THIS is what this site is all about and JFP is one of the Jewell’s.
Prayers and full on bear hugs to JFP.
(wishing I could find the link to her exchange or the thread)
I’ve looked….and I can’t find the link either. All of our old posts remain, however, the comments are gone. Sundance argued long and hard to keep all the prayer threads and their comments in tact, however.

I am asking for prayers to be reunited with my wife and 2 year old son. I am in HK and my wife and son are in Macau. Due to COVID, the border closings have remained in place ever since. I have been separated from them the for over a year now with no new announcements when the borders will be reopened. I have remained in HK since February of 2020 with refugee status and no job. Please pray for me and my family that we will be reunited soon. This has been the most painful experience in my life to have ever gone through.
Jedi, i pray that the Lord will bring you & your wife & son together. May He also comfort you with His peace during this time of separation. God bless.
Lord God, we come before you in humility not knowing what is to come for our Republic. We only know that you alone are worthy of our trust, and so on bended knee we humbly beg you to forgive the transgressions of those who have turned their hearts against you so they can pursue their personal goals that lead to the total destruction of America. In your justice, hold those responsible for their deeds but guide us to restore our Republic for YOUR glory so we may once again dedicate our entire country to you, returning to one nation, under YOU in all things. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

He is a Catholic who is now consecrating his life to St. Joseph.
He is struggling and we should all pray for him that he finds his way.
AB, I pray the Lord will lead you to the job that is exactly right for you, that you might prosper in it, & that you might work heartily as to Him. God bless.
Dear AB, I pray you find a job that brings you happiness and an income. Take care.

I lost my oldest sister two years ago in May. Now my second oldest sister Suzan is dying in a hospital in Cleveland. There is no way to go and see her. If it is God’s will that he take her I ask for a peaceful death. In the same breath, I ask for God to cure her. God’s will be done. I ask this community for their prays.
Richard, I’m so sorry to hear this. I pray that the Lord would bring healing to your sister Suzan if it would be His will, & no matter the case for her to be in peace. I also pray for strength & comfort from the Lord for you. God bless you.
Richard, may God watch over your sister Suzan. I pray she is at peace and is in no pain.

My husband and I have been supporters of CTH and Sundance for over a decade. I’ve come here today to ask for prayers and support. We lost our 28-year old son a few weeks ago. He lived with us and was such a comfort to us. He was ever-so-slightly touched by Asperger’s but led a completely normal life, identical to any other young person. Yet he had no wife or children, so navigating personal relationships was often a challenge. He was so excited at just recently being hired for a job in mechanical design, so his actions are still incomprehensible to us.
Amid the isolation of pandemic, a period of job loss, and the political chaos and deception within the news each day, he suddenly gave up hope in the World. He was raised a Christian. He drove up north in his last moments to be near a quiet lake and a winterized Christian youth camp where he spent Smmers growing up.
Our un-saved daughter blames us for his death. We know it’s because she is angry at the world right now, but her stance makes it impossible to grieve as a family. We have just the two children, yet we essentially have none now. My husband and I live 2000 miles away from our families.
The evils within this country attempt everyday to undo the hope and faith of believers. Please pray that our faith in God remains strong, that our marriage endures, and that there may be hope to reunite our family. We Thank this community for your belief in the cause for truth.
Angela, I pray for your family that you will find comfort in the Lord, that He might bring you all together, & that your faith would not fail. I also pray for your daughter that she might come to know Jesus.
Angela, I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers. I too have had to live with children who are angry and turned away from God and from me. The only reason I am still alive is that I never lost faith in God. Stay strong in your faith for that is the only way I know to survive and eventually be reunited with our loved ones. Pax Dominus Vobiscum.
Your observation on the evil that is flourishing in America is true, yet many deny it exists at all preferring to believe the lies of the people who are in league with our main enemy who you know to be satan himself. The only way for America and its families to be restored is to have a nationwide revival to restore God to His rightful place as the center of our lives and our country. May all Americans accept this for the good of America and its people. Amen.
Anita, I pray that the Lord would deliver you from Covid, that whatever symptoms you may have if any would be extremely mild, & that you would recover quickly.
I also felt led to share this with you. I don’t know what care you might be receiving but this has some good information.
Anita, My wife is a CCRN who concurs with the recommendations on the link posted below by Joe Blow. We have Ivermectin, Budesonide, and Hydroxyxhloroquine which can help you to heal, so please take advantage of these proven treatments today! God Bless and keep you.
Anita, I pray you have been recovering from COVID and that you feel much better.

Please pray for my beautiful neighbors whose son has been ravaged by a very aggressive cancer. The family has a strong faith and asked me for my prayer and for prayer warriors as at this time his condition is extremely critical and he will require hospitalization for several rounds of chemotherapy. The family and son have been fighting for his life for about a year. His most recent surgeries involved surgical removal of several organs and portions of organs. They recently found out he still has cancer in one of his organs. Please pray for him as well as his family.

Last week marks the beginning of the end to my marriage to my wife Jennifer. As hard as it is to write this, I am crushed. I moved my son 600 miles to the north from where we all used to live as a family. I work south near the San Diego border. Covid has had an impact like nothing I’ve experienced in my 26 years with my wife. I’ve lost everything and have sold nearly everything I own. I am on the street now living out of my truck as work is slowly starting to be released. I ask anyone reading this to please cast a prayer for my family Martinez/Madrid, so that the good Lord sees my wife and children through this all. God bless you all and thank you for your prayers. I feel alone like never before and sit in my truck as the world spins by. Thank you all. ?❤️
Dear Lord,
I pray that you will meet the needs of AL Martinez and his family. Let him feel your love ,
guidance, comfort and peace. In Jesus name, I pray, amen.
Al, I pray that the Lord will lift up you & your family & see you through these deep waters. Never forget that no matter how alone we may feel, He is always with us. We’re also here for you as well. God bless.
Dear Al, My prayers are with you and your family. I am sorry for your pain. May God lift your spirits and may you know
GOD IS with YOU at all times. I also pray your work flow picks up, you remain in good health, and that you do not feel alone.
Last week, my husband had to go to the ER for what we thought was a bad reaction to a new medication he had been prescribed. Bloodwork was strange, which led to imaging, which lead to the discovery of several possibly metastatic masses in his abdomen.
Because of Covid hysteria, I was not holding his hand when he learned of this. I found out about his imaging results via an automated text message from his medical chart app. I was sitting in the car, alone in the parking lot outside the ER, because no visitors are allowed. The ER doc refused to speak to me on the phone. It was one of the cruelest experiences of my life.
Thanks to Obamacare, we have no insurance. As a small business owner, I just cannot afford it. Our health sharing ministry may or may not pay. Our membership was lapsed because we got behind on the bills thanks to the new Covid lockdowns. Ironically I had renewed it the afternoon my husband got sick, but the payment didn’t clear until the next day. I’m afraid to call them to ask. I can’t take any more bad news.
I want to thank all the people who prayed for us last week when I first posted a comment about this on the open thread. I told my husband that there were people praying for him all over America. He was startled and not sure what to make of it…but it made him fell less alone.
It helped me so much, too. I said last week that I’m adverse to organized religion though I do consider myself Christian, at least culturally and spiritually if not as an active church-goer.
We still don’t have a diagnosis and the waiting is so hard on my husband. We still don’t know the cause of all his strange symptoms, or whether the masses are benign or cancer. He’s in misery.
Please say a prayer for him, and one for me, and one for our relationship. This is just the latest in several tough challenges we have faced as a couple in the past few years.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and Merry Christmas to you all.
God bless you and your husband. I pray for healing, peace and restoration.
And Strength and peace for all.
My prayers for you both, Elizabeth. Hopefully you’ll have better news soon.
Elizabetheross1776, you have my prayers for you and your husband.
Be strong! You aren’t alone! Do you know any friends who have the same Health Sharing Ministry? Perhaps they can ask the question for you, at least to get the stress of wondering off your mind?
Have you considered a GoFundMe if all else fails?
Dear Elizabeth, my prayers are with you and your dear husband. May God bring peace and strength into your mind and may you find solace in knowing GOD is in charge. Bless all the caregivers working on your husband’s case, and may they have all the wisdom they need for a swift diagnosis. May your health insurance be reinstated. God bless you for being strong and caring.
Dear Elizabeth,
It’s too easy to forget that with all that’s going on in our country each person has their own battles. Don’t know if you are familiar with this story from the Bible, but King Jehoshaphat was overtaken with fear because three separate armies were attacking God’s people at once. He prayed this prayer:
2 Chronicles 20:12 – “WE DON”T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT OUR EYES ARE ON YOU”
When everything seems to be against you, just cry out to Jesus and He will come through with the help you need! I will pray for you and your husband and all the things that you shared with us from your heart. And remember, nothing is impossible with God!
The stories of how our love ones must be attended to during this virus is heartbreaking. I would be so upset if I had to be the one on the other end, and especially saddened if I was separated from my love one who is being attended to. Please know many of us understand your concern. A terrible trip to the ER is scary when we are face to face…but this sounds unbearable. Impersonal. But, you know Jesus can bring a peace and relief so we can get about the business of ministering to our sick families. Lord, in the Name of Jesus, quicken our friends spirit with Your love, peace, and calmness as her precious husband goes through this scary journey. Shed a quietness that brings relief from fear of the unknown and wrap them in Your love as they walk together…knowing You are the author of all good things. Enlighten the medical professionals with wisdom and special compassion as they explore the medical issues. With thanksgiving for opportunities to pray, amen.
Elizabeth, I am so sorry to read this. I pray that the Lord will bring peace, clarity, & resolution to your situation. I pray that He will provide healing to your husband where it is needed. I pray that He will comfort & strengthen you both & take you through this valley. God bless.
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers. They’re helping me feel less alone. Pathology report is back. It’s cancer.
Dear Elizabeth, I continue to hold you and your husband in my prayers.
Dear Lord please be with Elizabeth and her Husband, heal him by Your Mighty Hand Lord Jesus. Strengthen their faith in you Lord, for You alone are God and all things work together for good to those who love you! We love you Lord and we love our sister Elizabeth and her husband. The Lord is MIGHTY to Save!!!!
Hi Elizabeth, even though the Pathology Report says it’s cancer doesn’t mean it’s a death sentence! Many Cancers are manageable and survivable!
Stay strong! Our prayers are with you!
Praying for you and your husband, Elizabethross1776!
May God bless and heal your husband of cancer, restoring him to good health, and grant you both peace.
I just came here to ask for a prayer and saw your post. May God bless you and your husband. I will pray for you both. I have asked for prayers here before and I believe in their power. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
OMG this is hearbreaking bkut more it is pure communism… I will keep you in my thiught and prayaers. and God Bless our Country and Dear God help us
I’ll pray for you and your husband, Elizabeth. I’m so sorry you have this to bear.
Rough times, but good news. Jesus still heals. We know that he hears us and he cares. Thank you for caring about him, whether churchgoer or not. Those complacent times are gone. Now we seek him on our own, as well as stand for his laws and his good and the freedom that he promises.
Jesus, please heal the husband of ElizabethRoss1776,and give them strength, courage, and support for the next year. Give them wisdom in the midst of the shutdown. Give them financial provision for their lives and the lives of those they love. Show your mighty power and close, loving presence, dear Jesus. For your sake, and for your country – one nation under God, we ask you. Amen. (Thanks for healing, Jesus.)
Prayers for you both! May God keep you close.
God bless you and your husband!!
I’m going through a similar situation. But, I am the patient. I understand the loneliness you feel and empathize with you. At least you have each other. I’m completely alone. My prayers are with you both. It is a horrible time to be getting such news. The only thing I can hold on to is God. I hope you find comfort through your struggles.
You’re not alone Linda. I rarely come to this page and have never commented here. But something led me here, and here I sit, typing words to try to comfort someone I’ve never met. There are probably thousands more like me who have read your story and have not commented. Just know that people hear you and are praying for you. I pray for peace and healing for you.
I’m late seeing this, but I pray that the Lord would be with you & strengthen you, Linda. I pray that He would put His healing touch upon you & carry you through this. God bless you.
Your family is in my prayers, I know what you’re going through as I went through that and more. It’s what opened this former dem’s eyes up to the horror of government controlled health care was all about. I will keep you both in my rosary intentions.
I also go to sancta.org – where they have a beautiful “step-by-step” instructional guidance on how to pray the rosary, plus the history of the miracle of Guadalupe as well as a prayer screen – you can also pray along with the rosary with or without the beautiful music –
my hope is that many, many people would know that others are praying right along with them at that moment, without all the parking issues (maybe one could also someday organize a giant zoom rosary prayer session) –
it only takes about 20 minutes to pray the rosary . . . the mysteries are basically the Gospel . . . some people think that one is praying TO Mary but I don’t look at it that way, I am praying WITH Mary for my loved ones
have prayed the rosary silently in my heart, brain while sitting alongside someone having an echo (Dad – who had dementia – of course the echo was not painful – but he had to be good and lay still, as long as I was holding his hand, he was good – it is so agonizing to think of people going through this worried about their loved ones going through things alone, not being able to be there at their side)
My prayers are being said for you and your husband…across the miles I send this message. Dropped in to this website from another link..seeing the prayer link..so glad I did. Please stay strong and remembers many others are praying for you. May the love and prayers of others surround you and comfort your soul. God bless..
Praying for you both. I was going to a free clinic for my healthcare due to obomacare. I am white, extremely low income. The volunteer at clinic said I had emphysema and sent me for chest X-ray. They replied that I needed a CT scan but the free clinic didn’t send me for one. Long/short, I had stage III lung cancer. Went to ER they admitted n did a bronchoscopy which gave result. Saw Oncologist who told me no professional would see me with no insurance and it would take a year before Medicaid could be approved ( it took 4 months actually) I applied for financial assistance at the hospital and when that was approved he agreed to start chemo. I live in Ga. Financial aid doesn’t cover specialists like anesthesiologists but it did over oncology/radiology. I hope this helps you and I pray you have a good result. God bless
Prayers for you, Joy, for a healing touch from the Lord. God bless you.
Prayers for you and your husband. God bless you both.
I am requesting ungoing prayers for our country, all of the Trumps, as well as his supporters. I sense danger in our blessed land. And I particularly request prayer for my baby sister as she goes through a scary time with her adult son who has a rare form of cancer. Thank you for your kindness and prayers.
Gnanny, I pray that the Lord would provide a healing touch for your nephew, & that He would strengthen & comfort you, your sister, & him. God bless you.
Dear Gnanny, I am praying for your dear nephew and your sister. I also pray for our great country, the Trump family, and all of his supporters.
Joining you in prayer Gnanny,
… for peace of mind and heart for your sister, for complete healing of her son from cancer, for America, for President Trump and all his family, for all Trump supporters (around the world!) and American patriots.
may God bless you all. a prayer of divine healing is sent.
My dad is in a nursing home in Washington. We were just notified that his covid test came back positive. He’s been on oxygen for a week, so he may be fighting it off on his own, but he is basically alone there except for the nursing staff. My sister is nearby, but the rest of the family is scattered about the country so he doesn’t have any other family to visit. He may or may not be moved to a covid hospital ward. I am just praying that he makes it through this – he’s made it through cancer and a laundry list of other ailments. And I pray that wherever they put him he doesn’t feel isolated and alone. That is the worst – takes the hope out of life. Thank you all for the prayers that you lift up to our Heavenly Father.
VG, I pray for your dear father that the Lord would fill him with His peace & heal him of covid. May He also provide you with His love & comfort. God bless.
Dear Victory Cardener, I pray your dear Dad feels the presence of God as he continues to heal from COVID. I pray his caretakers are kind and attentive. I also pray for you and your family during this difficult time.
Joining you in prayer, Victory Gardener,
… for your father in the nursing home, for his good health and healing from the China virus, and so he will know that he is loved.
Victory Gardener, I’ll be saying a Prayer for your Dad and your family!
Do you know any of the nurses who are taking care of him? Is it possible for the Nurse to Video Skype or Facetime you to your father? So at least hopefully he can hear and see you and at least feel less isolated?
FOR the repose of the soul of KANEKO EPLING my special Obaachan who passed away two days ago -she walked her path for 101 years … Eternal rest grant unto Kaneko O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. Grant comfort to her family and loved ones. AMEN
Dear James, may your dear Grandmother rest in sweet heavenly peace, and may all the special memories you have of her bring you much comfort.
Joining you in prayer, James Raclawski,
… for the repose of the soul of Kaneko Epling, your dear grandmother.
彼女の魂とすべての 誠実な故人の魂が
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Amen…
elizabethross1776 I will be keeping you and your husband in my prayers for a diagnoses, healing, and for your relationship. With all the Covid stresses from health providers and insurance comanies it doubles the stress on you. Please keep us updated. God bless you and your family. May the peace of the Christ Child remain with you.
My best friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November. Following a surgical resection, she is now completing her phase 1 radiation and chemotherapy. She is now fatigued beyond anything she has ever experienced. She will have a 1 month respite before beginning a regular course of chemo 5 days on, 23 days off. Please pray for the miracle of healing and strength for her as she meets this challenge with faith and grace.
Sunny Walker,
Joining you in prayer for your best friend, for her good health and complete healing. For strength and energy to be restored so that she can live life in abundance. For her to receive all the spiritual gifts that will help her. I’m praying for a miracle. Please Lord Jesus.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Sunny, I pray that the Lord will provide comfort & healing for your friend, & that He will endue her with the strength to make it through this. God bless.
Dear Sunny, may God be with your best friend as she completes phase 1of radiation and chemotherapy. May she be comfortable before the next phase, and keep her faith strong in God the Almighty Healer. God please be with her family and calm their minds; God please be with all of her caretakers and give them the wisdom they need to best treat her. For these things I pray.
Please pray for my mother. She is in the hospital for probable sepsis. I am so distraught that have called me about advance directive and asked to put a central line in. She sounds better though. She fell and got a leg wound some weeks ago which is the start of this.
Also, I feel I am just not as good of a person as i ought to be even though I try I don’t know why I can’t be nicer to everyone so if you know a prayer for that I would like to be a better person. Thank you all.
Kitty…..first let me offer my prayers for both you and your mother. Second….if you weren’t basically a nice and caring person you would not be questioning yourself. Truly unkind people never question their own motives or actions. Lastly….anyone who loves felines has a place in my heart.
Be well, and do not worry unnecessarily. Your mother is in the hands of our Lord, the greatest healer.
Thank you Ad rem for your prayers and kind words. I am so worried. She is septic and they are trying to get her fever down now. She is tough and I told her people are praying for her. I just need to be nicer to people. Thank you again.
Still praying Kitty. Let us know about her progress.
Kitty, I pray that it would not be sepsis, but if it is that our Lord would heal your mom, that He would give the doctors wisdom & guidance to treat her, & that He would strengthen & comfort both you & her. It’s good that she sounds better though.
As for the other, the answer to everything lies in Jesus Christ & what He did for us at the cross. Remember that Jesus paid it all for us; it’s not within any of us to be “good” people apart from the Holy Spirit Who lives inside of us. When we keep our faith in Christ & Him crucified, that gives the Holy Spirit the latitude to work within us to shape our lives to His will. If we are in Christ, when God looks at us He doesn’t see us & our sins—He sees Jesus Who has imputed His righteousness to us by His grace through our faith in Him. You can rest in that assurance. God bless.
Thank you. It is sepsis and they are working to get her fever down.
Jesus would never say the mean things I say. I pray for help but continue to act the same most of the time. Still trying though.
Prayers that the doctors will be able to get her fever down & that the Lord will heal her of the sepsis. Just give it all to the Lord, Kitty. We can’t do anything by ourselves no matter how hard we try. If we remain in Christ He will deliver us, so just keep seeking Him.
Kitty, most people I know think I am nice and sweet but one time when I was discussing my Grandmother’s situation with the nursing home administrator and I was frustrated beyond belief, I said something rather rude and then he was going to have me leave or he would call the police department to have me leave . . . I became distraught as I now knew my grandmother would worry all night because I said I was coming right back . . . would she worry and grieve thinking I was in a car accident or imagine all kinds of horrible things?
Then I reached for my cell phone while I was by the nurse’s station, tried to call the ombudsman’s number that was on a poster above the drinking fountain . . . tried to press the damn numbers but was trembling so much, finally just dialed my Mom’s number, she answered, “get him on the phone, I’ll talk to him” . . . apparently the nursing home administrator thought I had reached the ombudsman or ombudswoman . . . I could hear my Mom’s voice booming through the phone . . . his tone towards me totally changed, I still had to leave but they promised me they would tell Grandmother everything was all right . . .
it was a horrible experience because I still worried all night and it made me feel like I was going to have a stroke or heart attack going out to the car and driving home
that was back in 1994
I am just telling you thing long little story because I was fit to be tied with worry and I was “not very nice” . . . go through that little experience and Mom and I continued to visit and stand up for Grandmother all through her 4 and a half months there (recuperating from a hairline fracture of her pelvis, but also developed pneumonia plus she already had a colostomy which I had learned how to help her with – but worried about that, too – so always had a fresh box two-pound box of See’s Candies in the drawer where her supplies were, hoping they would use the right tape and everything)
we got her back home and she kept going for 9 more years (three weeks away from 100)
We both (Mom and I) felt very judgmental and not very nice as we found so many things that were very wrong and we actually did meet with the local ombudsman and gave him a long list –
Just let all that go, about not being nice – you DO have to be polite and pleasant no matter how upset you are – and I regretted my comments that night, not because I did not agree with myself but that it would not actually help Grandmother that I got the guy mad at me –
we will just keep praying for you and that’s right, if you really weren’t a nice person, you would not care!
just read my comment – I hope you can understand it in spite of some mistakes – started to make corrections but there were so many to be made!
I hope Kitty and her Mom are doing all right . . . now I realize that her prayer request was back in December . . . God bless all of you dear people here!
Dear Kitty Trump,
Joining you in prayer for the healing of your mother’s leg and her overall health, may she get well soon and be completely restored to good health. Jesus, I trust in You.
For your second intention, here’s a prayer I’ve said, because we all have room for improvement:
“Dear God I love You, thank You for everything. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to be a better person.”
Thank you for praying for us. I will say your prayer
Kitty,
Prayers for your mother and you. It is so difficult right now whenever there is a medical need. It’s difficult to get in and see a doctor, its difficult to get in and visit your loved one. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is and not by our choices.
The Good News is, Jesus is never difficult to get in to see. Don’t worry about praying “just the right way”. Just talk to him like you talk to us here. He knows what you mean to say.
We are all Christians because we ARE sinners. If you have a chance, go back a couple of days and check out Menageries post of Fr. Mike. He can be a little corny, but he hits it spot on. Take your bad to the Lord. He can handle it.
Dear Kitty, may you know you are never truly alone. May God be with you and ease your mind of your worries. And may God cure your dear Mother of sepis and give her body all the strength needed to fully, and swiftly, overcome this, May her leg wound heal fully. Many blessings and caring thoughts are wished for you.
Kitty, Lifting you and your mother up in prayer before our Lord that His Blessings and Peace will be granted in your lives for healing and for your relationship with Him. ?
Just as my son was a functioning addict who was able to hold down a job, I am a functioning griever. He died a year ago today on the job after his heart finally gave out from the constant abuse. Most people think I’m doing just fine too because they don’t see me cry every day like I do and I can still make a joke, smile, cook, clean etc. while my heart is still shattered. Only God and other grieving parents know my pain. Think of me today and maybe put a prayer for me in your daily prayer.
Dear Cheryl, my heart aches for you and for the deep hole in your heart. No matter the life your son lived, he is your son and you love and miss him. May God be a balm to your soul and may you find moments of peace and strength, and some snippets of joy. I am holding you in my prayers with all the others here.
Dear Cheryl,
Praying for you especially today.
I lost a grandmother on this date back in 1999. Yesterday I saw something that reminded me of her, and cried for 3 hours, all the while knowing that this reminder came out of love.
Your son remains on your heart because of love.
Much love to you this Christmas, may God bless you.
Oh Cheryl. May the peace of our Lord Jesus fill you. I pray that He will keep you & comfort you.
Dear Cheryl…God be with you in your time of grief. My heart cries for you. Praying and lifting you up before our Father in Heaven that He will reach down and give you Comfort and Peace today. God Bless You!
I am asking that we pray for our President Trump. He I am sure is agaist the wall and surrounded by so much evil.Praying for his safety and the saftey of his family and our Country is what I am asking.. I pray each day for this. Gold Bless and Thankyoy
Yes, Karen Noone, happy to join you in prayer for our President as I definitely pray for President Trump every day, and have for years! Even more important now. Am also praying for his family and America.
Just returned home from Christmas Eve Mass, where I prayed specially for President Trump, his family, America, and all Treepers and all our intentions.
Wishing you and all here a very Blessed and Merry Christmas!
Both a praise and a prayer for me.
Praise: Thank you, Lord, for bringing my parents safely to my home in Dallas on the Friday before Christmas. Thank you for the time I was able to spend with them, as I was able to take the whole week off of work to be with them. Thank you for all the things that we did together and for all the chances to snuggle up to them and tell them that I love them.
Prayer: Please, Father, be with them as they are flying home tonight. Get them safely back to Chicago and provide them with a kind taxi driver who will carry their bags into the house. Watch over them and protect them, even if the world goes mad. And please, Father God, be with me in the loneliness of my empty apartment. I know they had to leave and go home, but I want them back so much it hurts. I’m so tired of being alone…
Sunstar, I pray that our Lord will light your parents’ way safely home. I also pray that He may fill the emptiness of your heart with His loving presence. God bless.
Dear sunstarunicorn I pray for you to know you are not alone in this world, and that this feeling within you subsides, I know it is difficult to say goodbye to parents when you do not know the next time you will be able to embrace them. May God bless and watch over your parents and you too.
Prayers for my 17 year old son who is having surgery this morning. Praying for a quick recovery and successful recuperation. Also praying for the surgeon and for the Lord to keep her mind keen, hands steady and true.
God please be with the skilled surgeon and all the care support team for Bugsdaddy’s son. May his son have a complete and swift recovery. For this I pray. Amen.
Amen. Prayers for a full recovery for your son, Bugsdaddy. God bless.
Continuing prayers for your son’s good health and healing from surgery!
Well, things didn’t go exactly as planned. We hit a couple of complications which kept my son in the hospital a couple of extra days. We made it home today! That’s a good way to start off a new year. I know e will be much more comfortable now and will be able to rest easier too. (As will I and Bugsmommy!)
Thank you for all the prayers, we do so appreciate everyone here. The a Good News is, prayers really do work. Don’t ever forget that.
Thank you again,
Brian
Great news, Brian, & thank the Lord!
My brother in law finally passed away from his 9 month hospitalization from a brain injury caused by a garden tiller in the summer of 2019. It was a heroic effort by a wonderful, funny,beloved, Christian man as complications blocked every improvement in see saw fashion. His wife fought gallantly with many prayer group supporting him and his family during the journey as Covid impaired his wife being in attendance in a sporadic way as he journeyed to rehab, nursing home and back to the hospital numerous times. The steadfast reliance on Gods will is sustained by his widow and I ask for prayers uplifted for her and her 3 sons and 3 grandchildren. During the 17 month ordeal he did have many months back home with the family and met his new granddaughter before he went to the hospital last February. The time of healing was a joy for the family and that time was celebrated in thanksgiving to God for the blessings I that time
Five days after his death his sister passed away from radiation chemotherapy for lung cancer. Thankfully no one has contacted Covid. In four years the family lost my spouse and two other siblings leaving only my brother in law. My family sustained me after my loss and I am so sad that Covid inhibits the way everyone can offer the same level of support for everyone as they deal with grief loneliness and separation during this Covid times.
we have my mom now in a nursing home and my father at home separated by the Covid menace as well. My daughter gave birth to my first grandchild in November and I pray for the safety of her family as she will return to a healthcare job in the new year. Only our faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior can help so many endure the challenges of the Covid times. Blessings do endure and we must vow to support all those in need during this challenging time. Please pray for my family and others in this most precious time.
Oh LIG,
Prayers for you and all your extended family. I pray that your faith remains strong I believe we can only remain faithful to the Lord no matter what happens. No idea of what or why things happen as they do.
It sounds to me like your faith is built on a very strong foundation. I am glad to share this small space in the Treehouse with you.
Joining you in prayer for you and all your family, LIG!
May God bless you and provide for all your needs with His loving care and grant you peace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
LIG, I pray for you & your family, to continue to lean on the Lord Jesus for comfort, peace, & strength that surpass all human understanding. God keep you & bless you.
Dear LIG, may God be with you and all your family at this very difficult time. May your first grandchild bring you joy and may your daughter be blessed in Motherhood always.
my mother died on Christmas Day all alone in a nursing home, we are devastated, pray for me and my brothers and our families
Praying for you cherp, as well as your brothers and family. It is awful to have to go through this mess alone, but if we have faith remember, we are never truly all alone.
Dear cherp,
Please accept my heartfelt prayers and condolences on the loss of your mother whom Jesus called home on His birthday, may she and all your family be surrounded with the peace that only He can give. May God bless you and all your family and loved ones.
Cherp, there are no human words that can suffice to convey how horrible this is & how sad it makes me to read. Lord, please grant these people your peace, not as the world gives, but Your precious peace that is the only thing that can comfort them in such a time as this. Please lift them up & strengthen them. Amen.
Dear Cherp, my prayers are with you and all of your family as you process the passing of your beloved Mother. She is at full peace with God in heaven now with no pain nor suffering. May you find comfort in the many beautiful memories you have of her.
Prayer request: been fighting Covid for 12 days and I need healing. Also need assurance of salvation. This virus has done a number on me
Dear Gregg, I pray you heal and fully recover from Covid. May God and all the guardian angels watch over you. May you have peace of mind to know salvation will be yours. For these things I pray. Amen.
Dear Gregg,
Praying for your good health and complete healing from Covid, and joining you in praying for salvation:
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
Jesus, I trust in You!
Gregg, I pray the Lord will heal you of covid & give you peace in your heart to know that you are saved. If you’ve trusted in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are. There will be times it won’t feel like it, but we don’t walk by feelings—we walk by faith. May He bless you & keep you always.
What helped me to return “home” was a reading His Word. When I was blaming the Lord for not helping me,a woman challenged me to read the Bible. At the time I didn’t own one, so I went to a library and checked one out. Having learned speed-reading in college, I spent a day and into that night getting that done. During that time. Jesus came alive to me, and I felt close and free to talk to Him. (btw, the New Testament is only about 300 pages)
The short time of my reading (really skimming) didn’t teach me much; there was no pondering over anything. The big takeaway was I wanted more; I wanted for my crappy life to be fixed. I was no longer alone, but it took time before I was no longer a “babe in Christ”. I am no preacher or scholar but merely a laborer.
Always remember that prayer is a conversation, where one both speaks and listens.
So well put wood stuff. And the listening part is so difficult sometimes!
Continuing prayers for your healing Gregg.
We are all here for you. We are happy to witness to your salvation. “The Spirit says that for me to be saved, I must believe”. Heb 11:6.
Gregg, If you are not yet healed, look online for online doctors who can subscribe Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. They work despite what the lying CDC claims.
As for your salvation, Jesus paid the price for that 2,00 years ago so as long as you believe in Him and repent of your sins, you are assured of receiving salvation. Amen.
Please pray for my sons and family as we are under spiritual attacks.
YHVH’s blessing be upon you.
thank you
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Prayers for your family, Don, that the Lord will strengthen you for this battle. May you put on the whole armor of God, being strong in Him & His power, & steeped in the Word. God bless.
“LORD, I pray for Don and his sons, he is fully involved in the battle in the spiritual realm that is ramping up. Keep him and his family safe in Your Will, cover him with Your wings, give him all of the tools and armor he and his family needs, hedge him around with thorns, and cover him with Your Blood. In Your precious name I pray, Jesus, Amen.”
My healthy 31 year old son in law died 2 months ago, totally unexpected when his heart suddenly misfired(extremely rare) while he was reading my 2 year old a bedtime story.
It was a horror scene that can’t be described.
The wonderful medics worked so hard, got a heartbeat, but at the hospital, 2 days later was declared brain dead. He was an organ donor who helped so many people, except his heart, that they are attempting to figure out how it happened.
I ask for prayers for my 30 year old daughter and beautiful little grandson who are simply devastated and heartbroken.
You here at the Treehouse have such faith and unfortunately ours is very shaky.
Please ask the Lord to help them and my family that was there that terrible night.
Thank you.
This is one of the most heartbreaking posts I’ve read since we started the Treehouse. The fact that even the doctors have not been able to discern a reason for his passing, makes it hard to wrap one’s head around any how or why being contemplated.
I will pray for you all to find some way to understand and cope with this devastating loss to your family.
Dear Cliffsaheadwolveesbehind,
Please accept my prayers and condolences for you and your family on the loss of your son-in-law. I’m very sorry that he was taken from you and the rest of the family at such a young age.
I’m so sorry, Cliffs. I pray that the Lord will give all of you the comfort & strength needed to deal with this. God bless.
I am so very sorry for your entire family’s loss. I am praying for your family, especially your daughter and your grandson.
Please pray for guidance. We are in a blue state and are seriously thinking of moving to somewhere more freedom loving. But where? Sometimes God wants us to stay in situations we don’t like because he has a plan we aren’t aware of yet. Before this nightmare began, we were going to retire to maybe Delaware or Maryland, but my son suggested not to go anywhere near DC which he has a point. Thanks for your prayers.
Joining you in prayer, PJ Patriot, as you discern where’s the best place for you to move to in your retirement.
Sundance encourages us, “Live your best life!” Ask God where that is for you. Where is it said that you have to live somewhere you dislike because God MIGHT want you there, MAYBE? … When you have the opportunity to know, love, and serve God better with your time, treasure, and talents somewhere else?
I know where I’d retire if it were me and boy howdy I wish I could move there now … * smiles * … But you’re you, so such an important decision is best made by you so I won’t tell you my preference since you don’t know me and haven’t asked.
That said, I used to live in Maryland many years ago for a short while and it was okay, can’t speak from personal experience as to what it’s like now. Eventually the Lord led me somewhere else, and where He led me feels like where I’m meant to be, at least at this time.
As for Delaware, years ago while job hunting, I was offered the possibility of an interview there. The thought of actually moving to Delaware caused so much stress that I actually had heart pain (which seemed like an unusually strong warning sign especially as I was rather young then), so I made the choice not to interview for the job. That’s just me.
Anyways, pray, hope, and don’t worry … and I wish you the best of happiness and success wherever you go! 🙂
I feel bad asking when others here are having so much worse problems, but we could use the prayer assistance…
My husband got let go from his job over a week ago – about the same time the $600 checks were generated. Small growing company expanding into the area; thought they could hire him permanently but a contract fell through and they let go more than half their people. He had a couple of other offers, and then Trump conceded and now… there are just no jobs in Charleston unless you’re a medical professional or have a CDL. He even looked into helping out seasonally with the shipping and all the jobs were 30+ miles away.
The temp company he’s with right now really is trying to find him something. But they can’t produce what’s not there. We have just enough in savings for this months’ bills, but we really need him to find a job this month in order to be ready for next month.
I’m not physically capable, at this point, of taking a full-time job, even if I could find one. Even the retail jobs vanished. And then there’s the very real (likely) possibility that if I could find an open position, no one will hire a woman four-months-pregnant who previously left a job to take care of her newborn full-time.
So I’m asking for prayers that my husband would get a job – either a new situation, or that the previous company would land another contract and be able to call their people back.
Thanks.
TreeClimber, I pray that your husband gets the job that’s exactly right for you both, whether that be with the other company or something new altogether. May the Lord lead & guide you. God bless.
Dear TreeClimber, may God watch over you, your husband, and your growing family. I pray a good job opportunity presents itself quickly and that you need not worry. May his new job be with a family minded employer and one he is happy at.
Sending Prayers to Our great President Trump and his Family. Also Prayers to Our Fellow Patriots, Our US Constitution, and All of Our USA. May TRUTH be revealed and as we heal from it, may we ALL be United as One Nation Under God, once again.
Let us pray to St. Peregrine for all those struggling with the Big “C”. And for those of us who are about to suffer the long dark days of tyranny, let us ask God to give us the strength to endure what is about to befall us. Let us also ask for forgiveness for not turning to our Lord before this evil cursed us.
This is taken from The Word Among Us:
“All our lives we have been taught that anger is one of the seven deadly sins. But here we see Jesus, who was sinless, getting angry. How can we resolve that contradiction?
The truth is, anger is not always bad. In fact, sometimes it can be good. St. Thomas Aquinas taught that righteous anger is a strong reaction to injustice, and its purpose is to move us to correct whatever wrong we have witnessed. For instance, let’s say a neighbor has just said insulting things against a new member of your neighborhood. “Good anger” can move you to defend this newcomer or to gently correct your neighbor.
But anger can easily turn sinful. For example, “sinful anger” at your neighbor’s comments might move you to fire off an insult to him that only escalates the situation. When something like this happens, your anger not only harms your neighbor but also eats away at your own peace of mind. Anger like this robs us of joy and breeds distrust—and it can easily lead to other sins.
Jesus should be our model for the kind of anger that can spur us to positive action. In today’s Gospel, his anger moved him to take action. He didn’t allow his anger to fester, nor did he let it explode into rage. Rather, he controlled it with the grace of the Spirit and channeled it for good.
Notice that Jesus also felt sadness about his enemies’ lack of compassion—Mark says he was angry and “grieved” at their hardhearted attitude (3:5). In a way, righteous anger always includes a sense of sadness over whatever injustice we are seeing.
When you are angry at someone, remember Jesus’ example. Your anger may not be so intense if you combine it with a sincere desire that the person will change for the good of others and for himself.
Jesus understands how easy it is to let our anger get the best of us. Fortunately, we can lean on him. We can examine our motives and actions and ask Jesus to forgive us if we’ve done something wrong. Jesus is always ready to soften our hearts so that we have more room to love.
“Forgive me, Jesus, for the times I have given in to sinful anger.”
We received this in the Treehouse email this morning…..
Please pray for healing for Kathy Reding who has just been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Kathy is a nurse, has never smoked and has 3 beautiful daughters who are all school teachers. She has a loving husband, many siblings and many grandchildren. Please pray for her return to good health.
Thank you
Julie Cole
I am praying for Kathy Reding to be healed of her lung cancer. May God place the brightest and most caring physicians and care takers in her life.
Another request for prayer just received in our email….
I’m having severe relationship issues with my wife. Please pray for us. I want so much to have a loving, God-honoring marriage.
-Dana
Dr. James Dobson wrote (paraphrased) that none understand the tidal wave of panic which goes through a person when a marriage begins to unravel. Fortunately, there are many who understand. Unfortunately, they too wrestled with that beast.
Brother, you’re not alone. Endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. That sounds trite in the face of what is happening. It seems a platitude. But, as in all of God’s holy word, there is so much comforting truth in these few words.
I lost that which was precious to me. Apparently, another person gets a vote in the matter too. Oh how I struggled, holding on to that which was so dear. A friend said I had a nervous breakdown. I think that is probably correct. It was only by the Spirit which I was able to come back. When I finally, truly let go, ~POOF~ immediately I felt the immense weight lift from me.
A troubled marriage can come back even stronger. Mine did not. But if I have any advice it is to not hold too tight. Men by their nature seek to fix things. A knowing friend told me that by the time a man finds out what is really on the mind of his wife, she had already been thinking it for quite some time, even years. Which means he is way behind so it might be the worst thing he can do in trying to fix things. As always, prayer to our LORD Christ Jesus is the best. But we must act accordingly. As has been said, Let go, let God.
If I am out of order, please simply ignore. Prayers sent in supplication for all marriages for they are a treasure from God.
Praying, Dana
Dana, Words from people to those suffering are of little comfort, though the Word of God is truth eternal. I know this to be so for I too suffered through a similar situation. The only reason I am alive today is because of my faith in God and in His holy word, so hold on to Jesus, for life. It is sufficient until we are united in Heaven. Pax Dominus Vobiscum.
I am requesting you join in prayer that my darling Elizabeth Jo be healed from the pneumonia, laryngitis, and allergic reaction to medicine.
Also, that the fear any person may feel whether sickness of the body or of the mind in these troubling times be put away and the light of the LORD shine forth in them.
I pray for Elizabeth Jo to be healed by our Lord, that He may bring relief to her of these symptoms. God bless, rrick.
i pray with all my heart that the rightful President takes his place and leads us to peace and prosperity. I believe that it is God’s will.
i’m so frightened with this new administration of child molesters and killers. These people promote extreme late term abortions. They will kill our kids, among other things. i am very afraid everyone.
i pray for this nation, what we have left. I pray for the fearful people like myself that just want things made right and the rightful president in office. i pray for the unborn children, and those who have been born, that this present administration has already pledged that they support killing. These are monsters. We need divine healing and intervention from our Lord.
Brenda,
I share your concerns and pray for the Lord to help us make things right, as in according to his plan, not ours. Also, I pray for you to not live in fear, but to live your life. He will set opportunities in our path for us to help keep things on track for his plan. We just need to be aware and prepared to do His Will.
Praise God to the uttermost!
Some months ago I asked for prayer that it be revealed why I was so often seeing and hearing the number 420.
It has been revealed, at least in part. Sometimes we can be so blind that we not see that which is not hidden. The answer has been there all along. Yes, in God’s holy word. It was not revealed to me by my own sudden wakening. It was through the speaking of several men of God. I at once felt convicted for my lack of humility then immense joy for the revelation.
Revelation, indeed. It is there in the book of Revelation chapter 4 where four and twenty elders are mentioned. Rather than say more, I’ll use this as opportunity to incite y’all to read the scripture for yourself.
Let us continue to seek God in our highest in His holiest to His glory.
‘Take heed’ is the answer for now.

Please pray for Jon, 25 who suffered trauma to the brain and is bleeding in the brain. He is having a difficult surgery Saturday Morning Feb 6th. Pray for the surgery to go well and that there not be issues and that he heal quickly and without any damage. In Jesus Name.
You and Jon both have my prayers for a successful surgery this coming Saturday morning. May he be in the hands of the Great Physician Himself.

I pray for you and your love for this country we live it my friend. Thank you for all you do
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I canot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I’m a firefighter working long hours during the wuhan virus. My father was a world war II vet. I get to eat dinner with my family once a week. This past dinner, my sister in law and her family came over and told me that she is going to vaccinate herself and her whole family. Please help pray for her so that God can change her mind about this hoax of a vaccine that will do great harm to her and her family and show her God’s miraculous grace.
Cmdr, I pray that the Lord will lift you up & ever be with you & protect you in your work. I also pray that your SIL would seek the Lord before doing anything that could harm her or her family. God bless.
We received this in the Treehouse email this morning…
Good Morning Family,
I wanted to reach out to you & ask for Prayers for my family & I. I am a single widow Mom of 2 precious daughters & after my husband had passed in a accident a few years back things have been interesting to say the least. I have always tried speaking God’s Truth into the atmosphere because I do believe the Enemy get’s a foothold in when we choose to live in our “bad” seasons instead of remembering GODS WORD that our battle has already been won! Our perception of how we look at things is KEY!
After 5 Years of hard work & Great Success in my career I was laid off due to Covid-19 & had forced me to collect Unemployment but I did decide to start online classes towards a Career Change & continue looking for work in the meantime. We haven’t received Unemployment since December due to the Government deciding to force Marylander’s to completely RE-OPEN their claims again which has stalled everyone’s benefits until they review all claimants accounts again. I truly believe in Prayer & I know it makes a difference in our spiritual lives!!
Any prayers for us would be so appreciated… Our prayers for you & your family as well!
God Bless,
Shannon
Dear Shannon, I pray for a new opportunity to present to you, one that makes you happy and earns you a good income you are deserving of. I pray your precious daughters trust in God’s plan, and their hard working and deserving Mom who loves them so. Your perception is beautiful. I pray it brings you peace and trust, even in weak moments. God has you in the palm of his hand.
Treepers….just found this on our daily OPEN, and thought it should be seen by our powerful group of prayer warriors.
From “Your Tour Guide”…
Hijacking this hopeful thread for a prayer
request of my own. For my wife, of 30 years.
Became confused at a medical appointment
yesterday, EMTs called. Taken to hospital with
suspected stroke. I was allowed ( despite covid)
to come into the ER so neurologist could ask me
more medical history. She was completely unresponsive
by this time, approximately 45 minute later. That was
early afternoon yesterday, and she still hasn’t woken up.
Oh, and she’s on a ventilator. No , she doesn’t have covid.
Will have to strangle the next person who asks.
Anyway, my wife is seriously sick. My kids and I are
serously scared. Have the neighborhood, friends in
town, our Sunday school class all praying. Friends in
Dayton, Akron, Savannah all praying.
Throwing this out for some treepers to join us in prayer
for my wife. Thanks in advance. It’s been an awful 24 plus
hours.
Thanks for posting this, Ad rem. Prayers sent for YTG’s wife for healing, & strength & comfort for the family.
Prayers up for all of you, YTG. Please keep us updated.
Dear Your Tour Guide, May God bless and watch over your dear wife and heal her of whatever her ailment is. May God be with you and give you strength as you help your wife recover. May you and your children not feel so frightened of the unknown, And blessings to all of your neighbors, friends, and prayer warriors…may each and every prayer they pray be answered by God Almighty. Amen.
Prayers sent for you and yours. Cannot even imagine, but know God is a healer.
Our retired pastor (first name Bill) has had severe complications from lupus for many years.
A few weeks ago he was admitted to the hospital and put b on the heart transplant waiting list.
Last night his wife learned he has contracted Covid-19 in the hospital. She has not been allowed to see him since he was admitted several weeks ago.
Please lift him and his wife up in prayer.
Lord have mercy on your servant Bill and his family. We pray that if it is your will, you would spare his life. Please comfort and strengthen him and keep him unto life eternal. In the name of Jesus, who lives and reigns, Amen!
Prayers for Pastor Bill that the Lord would heal him of covid & allow him to receive a new heart, & for strength for his dear wife & family. God bless.
Thank you,Joe!
After several days of very high fever and difficulty breathing, Pastor Bill was slightly better yesterday.
Thank you, Lord. Because of his heart condition, certain treatment options are restricted.
Amen he is doing better. I will continue to pray for his healing from COVID and that he is able to receive a new heart soon. May God give peace and strength to is wife.
Pastor Bill’s wife sent the following update today. Please keep praying.
“Today marks two weeks since Bill’s first Covid-19 symptoms. He continues to be quite ill. Last Sunday he was feeling better than he had, but by nightfall his fever and cough had escalated. Every day this week he has spiked fevers back up in the 102-degree zone. His blood oxygen levels have been low enough to require continuous supplemental oxygen, but I am thankful that he is not requiring a ventilator. He is very weak and sleeps most of the time, so I have not been able to communicate with him much.
The covid has compromised Bill’s status for heart transplant; the very reason he was in the hospital at the time he contracted the virus. He is currently listed as IN-ACTIVE, and doctors are unable to guess when that might change. This has been a very disappointing turn of events, but as All things are done according to God’s plan and decision…(Ephesians 1) we will continue to look forward in faith. Please continue to pray for Bill’s recovery and renewed progress toward a new heart.”
My Mom fell again today. She broke her arm and busted up her lip. She has advanced Alzheimer’s and is too mobile for her own good. She just has a really bad case that is difficult to manage.
Things had finally been going well for her.. I’m so sad. For me, for her, for my Dad. I want to cry at the pain she will be in. I miss my Mom so much, only getting to see her intermittently. My Dad has strength that amazes me.
My husband has been strength and support. My children miss their grandma.
Sorry for the rambling, and thank you Treehouse, for your prayers. ?
Lida, I pray for your mom that the Lord will allow her to recover quickly & not be in pain. I also pray for you, your dad, your husband, your mom, & your children that He will give you HIs peace & strength regarding this situation. Blessings!
I’m so sorry. Praying for all of you.
Lida, praying that God will wrap His arms around all of you and that you will be comforted with the sure knowledge of His love for your mom, your dad, you, and the grandchildren. May her arm and lip heal quickly and may God grant her lucid periods when you can share memories and just love up on her. Peace!
Dear Lida, I pray for God to give strength and healing to your dear Mother. May she not suffer in pain and may she allow the physicians and nurses to take good care of her. I pray for you, your Father, and all of your family to trust in God and know he is with you all.
Lida – my prayers for your mom and for you and your family. I am so sad, because my mother, is in a similar situation. she was hospitalized for covid (no cough, no fever, just severe loss of appetite) and while convalescing, fell, fractured her thigh and has been trapped between hospital and rehab hospital ever since. She also has dementia, so gets up, and reinjures herself (knee, and today, arm). The covid lockdown at the rehab hospital means she is often alone and the phone calls to her are excruciatingly anguish-filled. I guess I am saying, I feel your pain. My prayers. Please, all, pray for my mom, too.
Uvaldegirl, I pray for your mom that our Lord would heal her of covid & bring clarity to her mind, peace to her soul, & healing to her physical wounds. I also pray that He will give you support & comfort in dealing with this. God bless you.
Lifting your mom up in prayer, Uvaldegirl.
It is so incredibly sad and painful what is being done to the elderly. My heart breaks. I will pray for you and your mom and Lida and her mom as well.
My prayer is regarding the impending Equality Act, which has recently passed the House of Representatives and will be voted upon in the Senate soon. This legislation would ultimately deprive us from many of the rights that we have long fought for and cherished, such as religious freedom and women’s suffrage, which truly weighs on my heart. I’d like to pray for the Senate today, that the Holy Spirit would transform their hearts and minds to do what is good for our country’s general welfare by voting no on this bill.
In an effort to take some action, I’ve recently started a petition to the Senate on change.org. If those of you reading this don’t mind, I would really appreciate of you could help out by signing and sharing it here. Thank you, and God bless.
Today I’m asking for prayers for a pregnant friend and her three-year-old son. She got a message yesterday from her husband telling her the short trip he left on the previous night was a lie and he wasn’t coming back. She’s more or less okay financially – she’s been the financial provider all along – but they’ve got some bills coming up and he drained the accounts before he left. And of course, she and her son are dealing with the emotional fallout and trauma. So I’d just ask that y’all remember them in your prayers for awhile. Thanks.
Praying for your friend and her three y/o son. (But….first I’m gonna have to wait for my blood pressure to somewhat subside. Words can’t describe what I feel towards that soon-to-be ex-husband.)
She’s telling me things about him I never knew – apparently he’s a real thug. And yes… I’ve been refraining from using the descriptions of him that occurred to me. At least her manager is understanding.
That is some serious scumbaggery (if I can use that word). I pray the Lord will lift up your friend & her little boy to get through this awfulness.
Praying for your friend, her unborn baby, and that poor little 3-year-old. So very, very hurtful. How far along is your friend?
She said she’s got ten weeks left. We’ve been out of anything but intermittent contact for awhile, since she lives several states away, but mine was the only number she had besides her parents and he’s the one who has/had the FB, so I was the only one she could get hold of.
Dear Treepers….
Many of our longtime Treepers will remember one of our most devoted Treepers, JFP (JustFactsPlease). She’s been away for a while now, dealing with various family and health concerns. Today, we received an email from her closest friend, Sandra.
Our friend has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, biopsies will be on March 12.
She still battles many other health problems and would love some prayers from her Treeper friends sent her way.
She had cataract surgery, and was so looking forward to getting back in CTH,but vision problems persist.
I’ll email her friend Sandra letting them all know that I’ve posted their prayer request. Sandy and her husband Gary will greatly appreciate reading your messages of care and support as she recuperates.
Praying for her. My she recover swiftly.
This is horrible. I think of her often & have been wondering how she was doing. Few people I know (on the internet or IRL) have the strength & resolve of this woman, so if anyone can beat this I know she can. Lord, touch our dear sister JFP with your healing power, restore her, attend to all her needs be they physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, or domestic, & comfort her & Gary through this. I ask it all in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
I’ve personally met Sandy and Gary. They are very wonderful people
I will be praying for you both.
I have met Sandy and Gary personally They are truly wonderful people and have been through so much . Cancer is such an ugly and scary word. As you know I’ve beaten it 3 times So can you. Please get in touch if you need to talk .I will be praying for you and Gary and I will let Sarah aka Ma’’know.
be well
Eve
Prayers up for one of my favorite treepers JustFactsPlease. A few years ago, when Sybrina Fulton(TRAYMOM) was scheduled to speak at the HS right next to my house in Portland Oregon, I frantically posted a request for assistance. JFP jumped into action and immediately emailed the school district and many others. I did the same. By the next morning, adding in my call to the Lars Larson show, we were pleased to discover that Sybrina’s speaking engagement(s) all three scheduled for the next day had been cancelled. JFP wrote such a succinct condemnation of he trashcan touring mother of shame that the school district actually believed that she was a concerned parent. LOL.
JFP then proceded to tell me, Jeffrey, “YOU ARE ANDREW BREITBART?”
I will never forget that moment as it was a right of passage for me and reminded me that I too can have an impact with a little help from my friends.
THIS is what this site is all about and JFP is one of the Jewell’s.
Prayers and full on bear hugs to JFP.
(wishing I could find the link to her exchange or the thread)
Awesome story carter!
I’ve looked….and I can’t find the link either. All of our old posts remain, however, the comments are gone. Sundance argued long and hard to keep all the prayer threads and their comments in tact, however.
I pray that God helps save America. And for devine protection of Donald Trump and his family and supporters. Amen
I am asking for prayers to be reunited with my wife and 2 year old son. I am in HK and my wife and son are in Macau. Due to COVID, the border closings have remained in place ever since. I have been separated from them the for over a year now with no new announcements when the borders will be reopened. I have remained in HK since February of 2020 with refugee status and no job. Please pray for me and my family that we will be reunited soon. This has been the most painful experience in my life to have ever gone through.
Thank you friends!
Jedi, i pray that the Lord will bring you & your wife & son together. May He also comfort you with His peace during this time of separation. God bless.
Prayers Jedi. May you be reunited safely soon.
Lord God, we come before you in humility not knowing what is to come for our Republic. We only know that you alone are worthy of our trust, and so on bended knee we humbly beg you to forgive the transgressions of those who have turned their hearts against you so they can pursue their personal goals that lead to the total destruction of America. In your justice, hold those responsible for their deeds but guide us to restore our Republic for YOUR glory so we may once again dedicate our entire country to you, returning to one nation, under YOU in all things. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
I would ask all to join me in praying for Milo Yiannapoulois who is now an ex-gay.
He is a Catholic who is now consecrating his life to St. Joseph.
He is struggling and we should all pray for him that he finds his way.

Please if I could ask for help. I need a job. Would you please pray I find the right job, a long term one for me?
Thank you
AB, I pray the Lord will lead you to the job that is exactly right for you, that you might prosper in it, & that you might work heartily as to Him. God bless.
Dear AB, I pray you find a job that brings you happiness and an income. Take care.
I lost my oldest sister two years ago in May. Now my second oldest sister Suzan is dying in a hospital in Cleveland. There is no way to go and see her. If it is God’s will that he take her I ask for a peaceful death. In the same breath, I ask for God to cure her. God’s will be done. I ask this community for their prays.
Richard, I’m so sorry to hear this. I pray that the Lord would bring healing to your sister Suzan if it would be His will, & no matter the case for her to be in peace. I also pray for strength & comfort from the Lord for you. God bless you.
Richard, may God watch over your sister Suzan. I pray she is at peace and is in no pain.
My husband and I have been supporters of CTH and Sundance for over a decade. I’ve come here today to ask for prayers and support. We lost our 28-year old son a few weeks ago. He lived with us and was such a comfort to us. He was ever-so-slightly touched by Asperger’s but led a completely normal life, identical to any other young person. Yet he had no wife or children, so navigating personal relationships was often a challenge. He was so excited at just recently being hired for a job in mechanical design, so his actions are still incomprehensible to us.
Amid the isolation of pandemic, a period of job loss, and the political chaos and deception within the news each day, he suddenly gave up hope in the World. He was raised a Christian. He drove up north in his last moments to be near a quiet lake and a winterized Christian youth camp where he spent Smmers growing up.
Our un-saved daughter blames us for his death. We know it’s because she is angry at the world right now, but her stance makes it impossible to grieve as a family. We have just the two children, yet we essentially have none now. My husband and I live 2000 miles away from our families.
The evils within this country attempt everyday to undo the hope and faith of believers. Please pray that our faith in God remains strong, that our marriage endures, and that there may be hope to reunite our family. We Thank this community for your belief in the cause for truth.
Praying for a healing for your family.
Angela, I pray for your family that you will find comfort in the Lord, that He might bring you all together, & that your faith would not fail. I also pray for your daughter that she might come to know Jesus.
Angela, I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers. I too have had to live with children who are angry and turned away from God and from me. The only reason I am still alive is that I never lost faith in God. Stay strong in your faith for that is the only way I know to survive and eventually be reunited with our loved ones. Pax Dominus Vobiscum.
Your observation on the evil that is flourishing in America is true, yet many deny it exists at all preferring to believe the lies of the people who are in league with our main enemy who you know to be satan himself. The only way for America and its families to be restored is to have a nationwide revival to restore God to His rightful place as the center of our lives and our country. May all Americans accept this for the good of America and its people. Amen.
Angela, I have been praying for your family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious son.
Angela, praying for you and your husband and daughter in this time of grief. May God comfort and strengthen you and bring healing to your family.

I have been a long time reader of TCH (2014). My father-in -law has been on a ventilator for a week. They have given him 72 hours before life support. My love is losing faith in Everything including God. Please pray for his father so that he is whole again

Please pray for my beautiful neighbors whose son has been ravaged by a very aggressive cancer. The family has a strong faith and asked me for my prayer and for prayer warriors as at this time his condition is extremely critical and he will require hospitalization for several rounds of chemotherapy. The family and son have been fighting for his life for about a year. His most recent surgeries involved surgical removal of several organs and portions of organs. They recently found out he still has cancer in one of his organs. Please pray for him as well as his family.
Last week marks the beginning of the end to my marriage to my wife Jennifer. As hard as it is to write this, I am crushed. I moved my son 600 miles to the north from where we all used to live as a family. I work south near the San Diego border. Covid has had an impact like nothing I’ve experienced in my 26 years with my wife. I’ve lost everything and have sold nearly everything I own. I am on the street now living out of my truck as work is slowly starting to be released. I ask anyone reading this to please cast a prayer for my family Martinez/Madrid, so that the good Lord sees my wife and children through this all. God bless you all and thank you for your prayers. I feel alone like never before and sit in my truck as the world spins by. Thank you all. ?❤️
Dear Lord,
I pray that you will meet the needs of AL Martinez and his family. Let him feel your love ,
guidance, comfort and peace. In Jesus name, I pray, amen.
Teri
Al, I pray that the Lord will lift up you & your family & see you through these deep waters. Never forget that no matter how alone we may feel, He is always with us. We’re also here for you as well. God bless.
Dear Al, My prayers are with you and your family. I am sorry for your pain. May God lift your spirits and may you know
GOD IS with YOU at all times. I also pray your work flow picks up, you remain in good health, and that you do not feel alone.
