Thanks for the pm's and email. I really appreciate it! :)

Pray for me and my stupid fear of flying. I have an interview in 2 weeks and I'm already hyperventilating over a 45 minute flight. :(

Honeykiss1974- It will be ok...I had the same fear also...I know exactly how you feel....So I'll most def add you in my prayer list.

Please lift up my uncle and my family in prayer. My uncle's health has deterioated greatly in the past two years. In fact, he had another stroke today. While I know that Jesus is a healer, he is in so much pain.

My family has dealt with four deaths within the past four years. Again, while I know Jesus is a healer, things are not looking good. We need strength to deal with his condition (and to deal with his crazy children)

Soror Abaici,

you're uncle is in my prayers.

also, please keep the family of Soror Alisha Campbell (a Gamma Chi initiate) in your prayers. she died over the weekend at the age of 24. it didn't know her (she wasn't in my chapter but i know sorors who knew her) but i feel really bad. she was just so young... :(

I just came back from my doctor's appt. She was giving me a breast exam and felt something. She said that it might just be fatty tissue, as she really thinks it is, but she scheduled me for an ultrasound tomorrow. I am NERVOUS!!!! I didn't feel anything. To me, my breasts feel the same throughout, but she is trained in that sort of thing so I'll take her word for it.

Y'all, but in some OVERTIME prayers tonight because I am more scared than a black man at a Klan rally. Ok, it's not time for jokes, but I am seriously nervous. I won't tell my mom until after I get my results. If it's nothing, I'll never tell her it happened. I know how she is and if I tell her now, she'll have me admitted to a cancer ward within the next four hours.

Please send a few up for me!!

Prayers on the way, sistahdivah!!!!!

Lord,

I lift before You today the request of every person in this thread and on this board who’s heart is heavy. Father, I ask that Your holy anointing fills their spirit and mind, allowing them to cast their cares, worries, burdens, and thoughts upon you, which is something that You ASK us to do.

Remind us Father that we are not in this fight alone while here on earth and although we each may be pressed from side to side with obstacles that seem to us larger than the tallest mountain, remind us that to You, it is but a speck of sand – so small and insignificant.

Lord, we know that regardless as to what lie, trick, or worrisome thought that the devil tries to throw at us, YOU ARE STILL ON THE THRONE. A bad health report doesn’t cause you to blink, because you are our Great Physician. A broken heart doesn’t cause you pain, because You are the Lover of our soul. An uncertain future does not cause you to fill with fear, because You charted our course on this earth before we were even formed in our mother’s womb.

YOU ARE STILL IN CONTROL of each and every situation that we face. So Lord, may we, even in our scariest, darkest hour – even when we just don’t know what to do or say – even when we feel like there is nothing that can be done, may we know that You are ALWAYS right there, watching over us ever so lovingly and with great protection.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen

I will be in constant prayer agreement with you, girlie.

I just came from the Breast Center for my ultrasound and the Dr. told me that I am OK!! :D :D She said that she saw nothing unusual in my breast. She said that right around the time for your period, your breasts get a little more lumpy and bumpy and that's about all that it was. Whew!!

Thank you for all the prayers!! I was cool, nervous, scared, anxious, and everything else all at the same time. I was calm and cool for a while, but my mind kept wandering. "What am I going to do with CANCER at 24?" was all I kept thinking. When I got there, I knew I was in good hands, but it was still a scary feeling. I started crying before the Dr. came in because I suddenly got scared and overwhelmed. As she was scanning my breast, I kept staring at the screen thinking any little speck that I saw was some sort of cancerous tumor. However, after a few minutes, she turned on the lights and told me that she didn't see anything abnormal and that it was just a precaution. I ran up out of there happy and all I could do was sit in my car for a minute and cry and thank God. What a load off my mind!

Again, thank you all for praying for me!!! :D :D

YES!

Please pray for my 15 year old cousin (Moni, this is Betty's daughter). She had surgery last week to correct spine curvature but it was so bad that they had to collapse one of her lungs to correct the curvature. Right now the lung is still not properly inflated and she is on Percocet.

Thanks. :)

Prayers are on the way!:)

I'll be praying for your little cuz.

As will I Carla! ;)

Consider it done, Carla.

Done. I didn't know Betty had a child this young.

This young? Jasmine is 15 and Jermaine is about 11 or so. They were born when I was in high school. Betty is about 33 or 34.

Thanks you all for the prayers. My mom was supposed to go visit yesterday after church but I have not talked to her.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Over the weekend, I had some cramping and bleeding. Hubby took me to the ER and they did an ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed that I had a type of miscarriage called a blighted ovum. This is when the egg is fertilized and you get pregnant but the egg dies either before it gets to the uterus or some weeks after. In the meanwhile, your body produces all the other things that you need for pregnancy. (It's kind of like your body is getting ready for the prom but your date stood you up.) Once this happens, your body will either expel everything on its own or you can have it surgically removed. My OB decided that it's taking too long for my body to get rid of everything naturally (thus setting me up for infection) and scheduled me for surgery tomorrow afternoon. I am a little bit frightened at being put to sleep, but I know that this is for the best. Hubby and I have been talking about this and praying over this for the last few days and we have to come to a sort of quiet acceptance about this even though we are very disappointed that we won't be having a baby right now. Just please pray for us during this difficult time. Thanks a lot, ya'll.

9dstpm, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers.

Thanks a lot, Gina. It's just really a trying time for us right now because Hubby's sister just had a baby 2 months ago and his brother's baby is due any day now. It's also hard because we were so excited and told just about eveybody we knew. Now we have to kinda "untell" people and it's hard.

Hey Sistergreek,

I won't start in with all the cliches, but just know that I'll be praying for you and your husband. I'm really, really sorry to hear about this.

I'm sorry to hear about your lost, 9dstpm. I will pray for you and your hubby.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. The surgery was successful and I am at home resting comfortably but I am a little tired, though. Thank you all once again.

...good. Somebody send a giant Dennis Haysbert poster over to her house. :D

God bless you and the fam.

My bad everyone, I forgot to update. My cousin is doing better, but still in a lot of pain.

ETA: Her lung has reinflated. So thanks all for praying for her. :)

I don't have a prayer request, but just wanted to encourage all those dealing with their own illness, sadness, or that of a loved one.

The Lord is a great physician and is working miracles everyday. Stay faithful in your prayer and never have doubt in His plan. He knows just what he is doing, He does not lie, and He will never fail you or forsake you.

The Lord has healed me and I'm so grateful, but know that He can do the same for you.

Hello!

It has been a while since I posted here although I check in daily. This week my chapter has suffered a great loss as two of our sorors passed away within one day of each other. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet one of them. The Soror I did have the the opportunity to was a Diamond Soror with 75 years of Service to our beautiful sisterhood. Please pray for my chapter as we process this time in our lives.

Just pray for me that I get this job. It's what I really want to do with my career and I believe it can open alot of opportunities for me.

Please stand in agreement with me as well for an important job interview that I have tomorrow. I really want this position and have prepared to the best of my ability, even though the devil has been trying his best to distract me.

This job will open up new opportunities for me as well. :)

Thanks

Prayers are wonderous things
 

I want to thank everyone who took the time to pray for a stranger (that's me) and her family.

It was very much appreciated in our time of need. Two months since my sister's death and we seem to be going strong on a day by day basis. I want to thank you all for your concern.

Much love and respect due,

Re: Prayers are wonderous things
 

You are not a stranger here. At 205 posts ;) you are fam.

To Everyone
 

Just wanted to say to all who are going through, who have been through, who will be going through to keep you head up and keep you eyes on the hills from which cometh all of your help:)

MY request isn't for me but for my Older Sister.

I was wondering could you all pray for her. My sister has been married since she was 18 (she is now 21) and is in so much pain, she is $20,000+ in debt because her husband is mad at her so he hasn't been paying bills (she was going to leave him had a place set up and everything but he begged her and she thought it would be best for her son if they stayed, he is the type of person who will suffer as long as he is hurting you). My sister is trying to leave him and start over but she has no clue what to do and has been talking about how she doesn't even see a point in living and how her son wouldn't need someone like her for letting this happen.
I wold just like for everyone to pray for strength and knowledge for my sister to get thru this time.

I really love my Sister and would feel so lost with out her she is the person I tell my problems to (I am only 16). It just hurts to see her go thru this, I lover her so much.

Thanks

Please add me to the "prayer list". It seems like that cards are consistently being stacked up against me. I am currently going through some major life transitions, and the anxiety and fear of not being totally in control is really starting to get to me and depress me. Pray that I receive the strangth to leave it up to God and keep on steppin'.

And to all of you who post prayer requests, know that your GC Fam always has you and yours in our prayers.

Re: Re: Prayers are wonderous things
 

Thanks Tony.

Please say a prayer for my mother. For a month she has been suffering from pain in her shoulder. From her first MRI we assumed that she would need a simple rotator cuff surgery due to heavy use when she was a surgical nurse. But after the second MRI they fear it may be either Thyroidal or Pituitary Cancer. I have only seen my mom cry twice in my life(Her dad's funeral and my son's birth) and yesterday I had to watch her weep in pain and grief. That was more than I could handle. I just ask that you keep her in your prayers

I will be praying for her.

Thank you so much.
One last prayer request....and i can't even believe that this would happen to me now...
I myself have been asked by my doctor to additional test to rule out cervical cancer. They have detected some abnormal cells and want to make sure that there is nothing bigger to be concerned. August 2 is my date for my Colposcopy. I just asked that you guys keep me in your thoughts.
Thanks...

EVACLEAR...I will definitely keep you and your mother in my prayers. You just stay positive!!! :)

How's the baby?
