    God bless you, ((((((Therapygirl))))))🌹❤️

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for Your merciful kindness, Jesus. We are secure in our salvation, knowing we are saved through our faith, not our works. We could not please You, Heavenly Father, without our Messiah, for You say all have fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 We needed an everlasting atonement, an unblemished sacrifice, through Your son, Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, Your Word says "no one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 Yet, although saved, we are not to be fruitless, but of bearing good fruit.

    Please teach us to write the promises of healing and restoration upon our hearts.

    Dear Lord, You know how sick my brother is. Ladies, I ask you to join me in prayer for emergency medical care. He left a hospital against medical advice, and his body is diseased with a liver infection, blackened legs with infection, COPD, water in his lungs, and was only treated two days, was on three different antibiotics, and now we need to get him into another hospital. He lives in CA across the states from me, and I am worried he will die. Please pray my family can get him into another hospital ASAP that will know exactly how to treat his failing condition.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Please be with Miss Bianca's brother who desperately needs emergency medical care.  Shower your love, grace, mercy, and kindness on this sick man that he may experience the Jesus we serve.  Help her family find a hospital that will be able to address his various medical issues. Watch over her family at this time. I ask that your will be done.  

    Jesus thank you that you came to earth to heal the sick not just from physical disease but from brokenness, loneliness, hopelessness, sadness, and emptiness.  Fill us with your Holy Spirit to counseling us, to make your truths and promises alive and meaningful in our lives.

    In your precious name, Amen

    Dear Therapygirll and Micmel, thank you so much for your prayers. My brother actually said while I had called and my family surrounded him that he felt loved. Your prayers are very powerful and Holy Spirit filled. He is also a sad, lonely, brokenhearted person, although he still has his funny take on things. When discussing hospitals, we mentioned Cedar-Sinai Hospital. He said he didn't like the sound of it. He said any hospital with a name that sounds like Cyanide can't be good. Lol He did like the name of Olive View Hospital, though. He said that one sounded like "I Love You Hospital." Lol

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for these wonderful ladies lifting up their voices to you Lord on behalf of my brother. You have carried him through this experience with great love.

    You are our gentle Shepherd, full of grace and mercy. Please order our steps, put order in our confused minds, bind the wounds in our aching hearts, and set us on a path of healing.

    You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords, yet, to set an example for us, You carry Yourself in humility as You, the one to be served, serve us. You did this by washing the feet of your apostles, and so many other loving acts. We pray that we experience Your peace and love always, as You said You would also send the Holy Spirit to comfort us. John 14:16

    In Jesus' name, amen

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for the love and support of Therapygirl, Micmel, Bcincolorado, and others reading and praying, who join together and lift up the needs and pain of others to You.

    Please strengthen those who feel weak, for You declared that we can do anything through Christ who strengthens us. Please take our fears and anxieties away, with us peacefully abiding in Your protection and love.

    You are our Healer, and just as You healed everywhere you went, so You still do, because You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8

    Dear Heavenly Father.

    We know in one breath, you can take away all our pain, suffering, despair, loneliness, hopelessness, etc. We know at times you don't take it away. Sometimes we don't understand why we have cancer and the all the challenges that come with it, day in, day out. None of it makes any sense. 

    Help us to look up to you, to put our faith in you, to put our hope in you.  Give us strength when we are too weak to carry on.  Allow ourselves to run into your arms and to experience your endless care and comfort.  We know that you have not forgotten us.

    Psalm 42:11 -  Why, my soul, are you downcast?  Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

    Dear Lord,

    Please cast our cares away, and help us not look at our temporary lives here on Earth, but on eternal salvation You have promised us by believing in and following you, Jesus.

    Please strengthen us so that we can withstand our trials and tribulations, our heartaches, and our disease, because we wait upon You for strength and healing. You have promised us that those who wait upon the Lord shall have their strength renewed.

    Please heal us of our disease, for You say that by Your stripes, we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

    We come to You with thanksgiving in our hearts, counting our blessings, and giving You praise in all circumstances.

    Thank You for being our Provider, our Protector, our Teacher, our Healer, and our Savior. There is no higher name than Jesus.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    I pray for the salvation of those that do not know Your son, Jesus Christ. He is the Messiah, our Lord and Savior. Anyone who calls upon his Name, confesses their sins, is repentant, and calls Jesus their Lord and Savior, and is willing to both follow His ways and receive the everlasting gift of eternal salvation in heaven, is saved!

    How can I pray for their fleshly condition first, when this life is but a vapor, and not love them with such a beautiful eternal message?

    Still, our human tendencies are to worry about what tomorrow might bring, and I pray that we can cast our fears, anxieties, brokenheartedness, physical pain, and difficult circumstances onto You, for You say that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9

    Thank you so much that Micmel received good scan results. Thank you, Jesus. We are most grateful!🦋🌹

    Thank you for all my sisters in Christ, for their continued support, coming together for prayer and the demonstrated love of God they show each other.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Your word says that even if our hearts cry out to You and no words come, for we do not know what to pray for, we are rest assured that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us and communicates our wordless, aching hearts. The Holy Spirit is there to help us in our weakness. Thank you, Jesus.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for giving us meaning and purpose in life. Nothing that we are going through is wasted. You can take our pain, sorrow, despair, helplessness, hopelessness, emptiness, etc. and use it for your holy purposes. Although life was never meant to be easy and smooth sailing, we can rest in the fact that we can find true joy, hope, and peace though you in the midst of our trials. Strengthen our faith each day.

    Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

    Also thank you for your faithful servant Miss Bianca for reminding us of your truths and promises.

    In your precious name, Amen

    Thank you so much, Therapygirl and Micmel, for your beautiful and appreciated messages and prayers. ❤️❤️

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Sometimes I forget what I have learned, when I reflect on something I shouldn't dwell on, which is the past. It becomes like a prism, catching different hues, and coloring memories, depending on what I remember or what I have forgotten from Your teaching. Thank you for getting me back on track with Therapygirl's prayer.

    Please let Your presence be felt as You comfort those crying out to You. Please answer their prayers, soothe their souls, and heal their bodies. Let their eyes turn from the temporal to the eternal, for no one can snatch us out of Your hands. You are our only hope and salvation.

    Father God,

    We praise you because you are good and every good thing comes from you. We thank you for community and for the way your people love one another. We thank you for the internet which allows us to connect here and join together in prayer. We know when two or more are gathered in your name that you gather with us!

    Please be with my mother, susan3, who entered into hospice care on Thursday. Be with her as she prepares to meet you. Relieve her from the immense pain, suffering, and trauma she has experienced. Give her peace and comfort and let her feel your love through all those who are gathered around here, physically and in spirit.

    In Jesus' holy and powerful name,

    Amen

    Welcome Susan3! 🌷

    Thank you, Micmel, for your loving words of support and prayers for the Susan3 and her loved one. ❤️

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    I join these voices and lift up our prayers for Susan3 and family, who need Your holy presence now. She has suffered greatly, and looks to You for Your comfort, peace, and love, as only You can give it. Please let her transition to hospice be handled with great care, and may her caretakers treat her lovingly. Please strengthen her, as well as her loved ones.

    May all loving words, messages, acts of forgiveness as well as being forgiven be expressed, and may they share moments of love at this time to cherish forever. May Your loving reassurance take any fear and anxiety away, knowing she will be in Your loving arms as a child of God in Heaven forever.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you, Jesus, for the opportunity to talk to the grandmother of a grandchild who was born prematurely and spent 4 months at the Ronald McDonald House in Orlando, across from the Children's Hospital. She said she would go to the Ronald McDonald House and volunteered making breakfast for the mothers there. I could clearly see love in her countenance. You blessed my day with meeting her.

    Her grandbaby went through multiple surgeries, and is doing well. Without knowing if I was a Christian, she said, "If you don't have Christ going through what they go through there, you're LOST."

    LORD, I immediately thought of this community, and how much more immeasurable the suffering would be without You. Please draw near to those that may not know You, collecting us into your fold, protecting, comforting, and shepherding us gently, so that You make our paths straight, leading us into healing and salvation.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    When we are weak, please strengthen us.

    When we are full of doubt, please take our faith the size of a mustard seed, and nurture it, so that it may grow into the largest of garden plants, providing rest and shade for others.

    When we feel lost, let us look to our Maker, who gave us a gentle Shepherd, Jesus.

    Lord, when we are angry, bitter, anguished, terrified, or so filled with overpowering emotions that we cannot bear it any longer, let us leave it at the foot of the cross. You already paid the price, and by Your stripes, we are healed. Isaiah 53:5.

    Thank you for your miracles and healing. Thank You for Your peace and comfort. We could not travel this road without You.

    Thank You for always providing a source of beauty, a refection of Your splendor. Thank You, for there is always something to smile about. Most of all, thank you for Your unfailing love.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Thank you for Miss Bianca, Micmel, susan3, and others who are blessed with your saving grace and have been a blessing to all the ladies here who are looking for relief, comfort, understanding, and companionship.

    Lamentations 3:22-23 - Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

    Ecclesiastes 3:4 -  (There is a) time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,

    Thank you for your son Jesus who is our Lord and Savior, our Redeemer.  Holy Spirit give us your strength to carry on each day even in our weakness, when we feel lost or lonely.  Yes, cancer is a serious matter, but we can also praise you and glorify your name for giving us another day.  You do not forget the suffering we are going through and we can rejoice that you are a compassionate God.  Yes, we know that you can take away our physical pain and emotional turmoil but you chose to use it for your glory, to fulfill your purposes in life.  Our bodies are not our own. We thank you for your are our Father who knows what is best,  Praise the Lord for he is good!!

    In your precious name, Amen

    I'm so grateful to read your prayers, Therapygirl and Micmel, and all who come to this restful place, and I lift your prayers up by joining my voice with yours.🙏🌷

    What a beautiful scripture in Lamentations.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Please bring peace and comfort to Micmel's father as his passing nears, and bless her relationship with him during this time. Please soothe her heart and heal any strained relationships, so that she may live in peace, without a source of conflict in her heart. Please let her know how beautiful she is to you. Blessed are the peacemakers.

    Please bring peace to a BCO member struggling with jealousy, and rejecting the friends of her target. May she know she is valued by this community, and does not need to view the members as pawns for popularity. She is currently not representing the Light and love that is the embodiment of Christianity. May you grant her conflicted heart rest and peace, and restore to her Your love she shares with others.

    Even though we suffer, Your gifts are always there, each day, holding us up and infusing us with hope in You. Please strengthen us with Your joy even in the midst of our circumstances.

    Many medical and hospice staff can attest to the lit up faces of Christians being escorted to their heavenly home. We know that after we stay faithful, finish the race, our reward in Heaven is great, as we are Heavenly heirs, and are called the children of God.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    I also bring Micmel's father in prayer. Please watch over him during his remaining time on earth. May he rest in your loving arms. Be with Micmel and the rest of her family that you may also shower your comfort and peace on them.

    Continue to be with the ladies here wherever they are at in their treatment/journey today. Help us to fix our eyes on you and not be distracted by cares of this world. We surrender the process to you. Do your holy work in us.

    Our prayers for others are to glorify you and you only. We are humbled and honored to stand before your throne as imperfect people who have been redeemed to be able to speak to you and on behalf of others. Thank you Lord Jesus for making a way to your Father.

    Therapygirl and Micmel, thank you for your beautiful and inspirational prayers.HeartAmen!! May it all be for the glory of God.

    Thank you, Micmel, for paying homage to a wonderful leader and man, former President George Bush. I have always admired his longstanding marriage and love for his wife and family. I did a search for an excellent letter that was advice to young people. It ended with, "Say your prayers." It is circulating in the media. I found another one instead, once again restating the importance of faith. (I post image cards because they are visually striking, but also it is a shortcut for me to post scripture, without risking making typos.)

    This is very good advice, reflecting the man's exemplary character.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    May we take the example of this great man of faith, and treasure our relationship we have with you through your son Jesus, who gives us hope and salvation, and the love of family and friends.

    Please comfort Micmel's father, Diane, and others moving towards their heavenly home. Let them be comforted by your Heavenly presence, knowing they are not alone when they call upon Your name. Please give them Your peace as only You can give it.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    Please reinforce the faith and hope in those whose circumstances make their light they hold up to You flicker, letting doubt set in while they wait for You to move in their lives. You are always faithful, never forsaking, and You will leave the ninety-nine to rescue the one lost.

    Please bring healing to those needing restoration to their health, perserverence to those whose treatments are preventative, and endurance and a renewed strength should there be more than one battle.

    Your heavenly light shines down on us. One day, we will take our last breath here on Earth, and our next breath in Heaven in our perfect, painless spiritual bodies. This is Your promise to us through Christ Jesus. May those who are transitioning to their eternal home in heaven be filled with peace and comfort, with love surrounding them and their loved ones.

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    When we see such suffering in this world, whether it be through this disease, horrendous disfigurements, starvation, human trafficking, slavery that still goes on, or other deeply distressing realities here on Earth, help us remember to fix our eyes on You, Lord, for You are our only hope.

    This world is the battleground that determines where we spend eternity. Give us the strength to pass every test, let no circumstances rob us of our faith, and give us the perseverence we need to finish the race. Let us always remember that you are not a respecter of persons, and do not hold us in the esteem of Earthly rank. Jesus, you made this clear when you said, " Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first." Matthew 20:16

    You will consider us by our love we have demonstrated, for love is an action word biblically, by our willingness to forgive so that we may be forgiven by our Father, our repentance, and the good fruit that we bore, namely, our good service to mankind.

    Please be with the suffering here, and hear their cries. Please wipe their tears away. Let not their hearts be fearful or distressed, but filled with Your peace as only You can give it.

    In Jesus' name, amen

    *This is a longer scripture I wanted to share, as it demonstrates how different Heavenly values are from Earthly ones.

    ((((Therapygirl))))) Amen! ❤️🙏

    Dear Heavenly Father,

    When I got diagnosed nine years ago, I was so terrified. I was overwhelmed with proposed treatment plans. I had been healthy my whole life, never needing a hospital except to deliver my son, was needle phobic, and was medically phobic. I disliked appointments of all kinds. I didn't even like to get my hair cut in a salon.

    I felt like cancer was like a gun to my head. It demanded, "March! Or you die!" I had a young son. I had to face my fears. I had to become acclimated to many appointments and treatments.

    Lord, You drew so close to me when I needed You most. You spoke to me. I heard you tell me that I would go through the fire and not get burned. I didn't know it was directly scriptural. I later found out it is in Isaiah 43:2. I cried out to you like I have never done before. You heard me, and I felt your compassion and sadness, with the words, "Hot tears."

    You began to communicate in perfectly timed synchronicities, and have not stopped since. I continue to hear you, and it is through cancer tthat we have drawn so close. You have healed me twice now, as I have stood on Your promises of healing and stored them in my heart, vowing to make You first in my life, to serve You and praise You for what You have done for me.

    I add my voice, and pray with Therapygirl, to be with the newly diagnosed. Please draw near to them, comforting, reassuring, walking with them, carrying them when they are too weak, and ultimately healing them. Lord Jesus, let them know how much You love them and cherish each and every one.

    In Jesus' name, amen ❤️🙏
