I need prayers

Posted: Nov 12, 2011

My 82-year-old father has been diagnosed with lung cancer which is now in his lymph nodes and bones. He was always the one who stood with me no matter what dumb choices I made or what happened in my life. I knew he loved me, and he's just the best person in the world, would give you the shirt off his back. I don't know what to do. I feel so helpless and sad. I truly feel that I don't want to live without him in my life.

It all seemed to happen so fast, and he doesn't have long. I would appreciate all of your prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I will pray for him and for you to have the strength you need to get through this. The wonderful thing about parents is that they still keep loving you no matter how bad you are. You can and will get through this with him. All you can do is rely on your faith and let your dad know how much he means to you.

You and your dad are in my prayers. Take this time and make it precious. I pray for peace of mind and comfort. God Bless You.

6 years ago this month, almost the exact same scenario, but my dad was 85 when he passed. Every situation is different and I won't offer you platitudes. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, and you are stronger than you believe you are. God bless you during this difficult time and God bless your dad during his illness.

I am so sorry that you and your father are - going through this SM

mgc. I lost my mom to cancer and she died six months after diagnosis. I will tell you that when I think back to that time, I am comforted by the fact that I did everything I could to make her life (and death) as painless and comfortable as they could be during those months, especially near the end of her life. I am comforted remembering the time I spent with her, even when she was not "with it". I hope you will make some good memories that will stay with you the rest of your life. It is so very hard and difficult, I know. I will pray that you have the strength and courage to get through this and I will pray for your dad's comfort as well.

I pray that the Lord comforts you and gives you peace right now. Try to give your father what he has given you all these years, in his time of need. I lost my dad to lung cancer two years ago. I still can't believe he is gone sometimes. But I am comforted knowing that he is with Jesus and one day I will see him again. I am praying for you and your dad. :)

I spent the day with him yesterday. I held it together just fine and just let go during the hour ride home and at home last night.

This is a fast growing cancer, and it's just so sudden that I can't believe it.

I thank you all for your support, as I sure do need it. I'm going to be with him as much as I can, but it's not going to be long. Honestly, a month ago, he was fine. Now, he doesn't even look like the same person. I will be with him as much as I can. I just love him so much.

Thank you all, and please continue to keep us in your prayers.

I wish I would have had a father such as you have. He sounds like a wonderful man.

Yes, thank you, ERMT. He is a wonderful man, and I don't know what I'll do without him. Honestly, if others weren't depending on me and loved me, I'd take myself when he goes. I feel as if my heart is literally breaking into pieces. I feel as if I'm being selfish, as I know I've been blessed to have him for so long. But this is such a cruel end to a good man. I never imagined I could ever be this sad, thought myself a pretty strong person, but this is just more than I can handle.

I ask the Lord to please guide me to be the mother I am to be and what my son deserves during these challenging times. He is only 12 and getting into some horrible things already. Why? I do not know. I can only say that kids do not always learn by example. I thank the Lord for the blessings of this amazing child and ask for the wisdom and strenght to bring him back on a better road. Amen. ...

Well ladies, I had my first mammogram a couple of weeks ago, then I had to go back for more views, then biopsies were scheduled, and I had the biopsies 2 days ago. Today I found out that I have breast cancer in 2 areas in my right breast. I'm only 42 and this was just a routine screening mammogram - I had felt no lumps or anything - so this has all been a complete surprise. Please pray that this cancer has not spread and that I will experience comp ...

I sure could use a few prayers. I'm single, was doing okay on my full time (goverment) job, and my part-time transcription job until last year. I built a townhome, and in the process the contractor walked out and only left a "framed" house. I had to use my downpayment from the sale of my other home to "pay again" to have the townhome finished, plus borrow an additional $37,000 to pay off the 2 of the 5 leins and attorney fees. One year later I was able to move in.&nb ...

I've never asked anyone to pray for me, but I really need some. I need extra work. I've just come across a situation and I really need to find some extra work. I've looked throughout the day and I'm so sick (literally, headache, nauseous and tired). I hate to pray for money, though that is what I'm really needing, but I'll do anything (well almost). I've felt the love of the Lord since I moved here. I wake up and feel He is w ...

I could really use some prayers right now. I am going through a separation and could really use another part-time position to supplement my income. I am not having any luck finding another Radiology transcription part-time position. I am looking to move but am not financially stable without landing another part-time job. I am asking for prayers for my situation to improve. I really need the income to rent a home and provide for my 3 children. Thanks for your s ...

It is not sexual or physical abuse. I am alone and have no children. I know if I eliminiate all contact with the person who continues to abuse me, I will lose much of my family.

I just got an email from a company I applied for. Was praying, hoping, and planning my next move. Didn't get the job. It started out 14 an hour and all the OT I wanted to work. Of course, with only MT on my resume for the last 20+ years, it was not gonna be good, but I had hope. Now I don't. This job was the answer to my prayers, lots of OT, good money, bennies out the wazoo, and I could take care of my daughter who is going to college next year and ...

I posted but it never came on. I am asking for prayer for myself and my son. Lots of background of lies, abuse both physically and emotionally along with brainwashing. Am watching my son gradually become his father. He is so arrogant and brags on himself all the time. We just reunited after an 8 year estrangement. I asked him if he could come one weekend to help me with tech stuff that was absolutely going wrong and causing me a lot of stress. He didn't come and re ...

It is me again. You may remember, she lost her purse quite some time ago now, and you-all prayed and it was found quickly. She does have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's, and hubby and I have moved from one coast to the other to be with her. She is still quite functional, very independent, maintains her own bank account, drives her own car, etc. etc. etc. BUT, she loses her purse often! We think she is hiding it because she is getting paranoid that someone may be stealing from her. When it t ...

Just asking for prayers. I was in a very bad marriage and finally left about 2 months ago literally with just a few suitcases, my animals and 2 pieces of furniture along with my computer. I am blessed that my mom has let me come and stay with her while I try and get on my feet. I literally have only my income which as you all know is now next to nothing. I have to save up to purchase a car as he has the only vehicle that we had. I have no fight left in me. My ...

He has been in the hospital every month at least a couple of times. He is very ill and I know that he will not be here much longer. Our youngest, 33, is having our first grandson in May or June. I am hoping that the Lord will help us get him to that point but, I know too that sometimes, the answer is no. I am selfish for wanting this because I do not want him to suffer any more. It really messes with my heart versus head. The whole family needs your pray ...

Hello to all. I was wondering if you could all say prayers for my son Jason. He is ex-military and every since he got out of the Army he has slowly but surely acted up, acted out and this time he managed to get himself thrown in jail and violated his probation. So now after 120 days in county he will receive his sentence. I know he has done wrong, but he is my only child and I know his heart..it is a good one. He will be sentenced on May 2. Please send prayers ...

I have been trying and trying to get out of transcription for over a year. I was to the point of giving up on this one company I truly want a job at. I had already accepted the fact that I will never get called for a job here due to my inexperience (it is a factory, and I have done MT for 25+ years) and age (59). I just got a VM on my phone that I have to come in and take a job simulator to see if I can handle the work. I will try 110% to do this efficiently, remember eve ...

My BFF's brother and sister-in-law were in a horrible car accident over a week ago. Her brother sustained broken ribs and is home from the hospital. His wife was airllifted to a bigger medical center an hour away on the day of the accident. She is not doing well. He has not seen her since the accident. He is unable to tolerate a car ride to see her. they cannot even do surgery on her as she is so unstable. They were on the interstate when the ...

As of Sept 1, my daughter and I no longer have health insurance and I no longer have life insurance. When my hubs put in for retirement, all of this stopped. He is Medicare eligible, but I am not old enough yet, and we still have a teenager. YIKES. I am scared beyond belief something will happen. I am in the middle of treatment and was preapproved for 12 weeks for it, so going to continue. Please pray nothing major happens until we get coverage back under the ...

I have posted on this board requesting prayer due to emotional abuse by my sister. This, to this day, is ongoing. The main problem is that I have no family of my own. She has two daughters, both of whom I loved very much. My sister has abused me for as long as I can remember. She pulls the silent act, sometimes for many months on end. Eventually she crawls back (usually at holidays, etc.) As many of you know, in an abusive situation the victim has feelings of guilt. My sister is a master ...

Yesterday a burglar broke into a house and shot a young woman while her toddler was home with her, and fortunately he was not hurt. This young woman was a pastor's wife. They had not long ago moved here to start a new church. I saw pictures of them this morning, and they were a beautiful young couple with a love for God and their church. I found out this morning that this beautiful young woman and her husband had just announced that she was pregnant, and now she is b ...

Also, the men and women on the homefront who keep us safe, Homeland Security and the men and women of all police forces, and our firefighters. Please join me in praying for thes ...
