A Special Prayer Request
Hi, everyone!
I know that this is a busy time of year, but I wanted to ask you if you'd please stop for a moment and say a special prayer.
My mom and I have a sweet friend named Debbie...her husband Mike has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
They are close to my age and have 4 children.
We are praying for a miracle.
So many of you stepped up and said heartfelt prayers for my mom when she was going through her bout with colon cancer a few months ago; we were/are so grateful to you!
We saw God at work through those prayers as she recovered from her surgery remarkably fast and is doing fantastic!
Now I ask that you say a prayer for Debbie and Mike... that God will give them and their family His comfort, His peace, and His healing touch through this difficult time.
We know that our God is good and that He is able to handle this!
Thank you all so much! This blogging world is full of wonderful friendships and support, and I appreciate you!
God bless you :)

Sending up prayers for your friends Debbie and Mike and their children, Susan. Pancreatic cancer is so tough and resistant to treatment...but it can be held at bay for a long time sometimes. We had a friend that outlived his diagnosis by several years and was not sick most of the time. Praying for a Christmas miracle for this family. My heart aches for them. xo Diana
ReplyDeletePrayers said for Debbie and Mike. So heartbreaking to hear this. I pray God give them courage in the days ahead. Blessings for the family.
ReplyDeleteXO
I will definitely be praying for this dear family, Susan! Thank you for bringing this request to our attention.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Oh you have got it. XX Jo
ReplyDeletePraying now. May the Lord bring His healing touch.
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers for your friends. I have felt the power of prayer recently--many people are praying for my very ill husband, too. You are a good friend to ask your readers to pray for Debbie and Mike. I'll also pray for the doctor's wisdom and skill in dealing with this terrible disease.
ReplyDeleteof course. It means so much to know that others took the time to pray... and prayers are indeed the way God works and miraculously many times. Thanks for sharing the need.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for this family Susan.
ReplyDeleteI always stop by to read your posts so I'm glad that I did so that I can pray for Debbie and her family...I believe in the power of prayer, so tell your friend to watch for a miracle!
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for Mike and his family.....for Gods healing power in his pancreas. This is what I was diagnosed with in 2009......Jesus died for our transgressions, He was wounded for our iniquities, and by his stripes we are HEALED....Believing for Mike!! If any questions, Susan please message me...Blessings~~~Roxie
ReplyDeleteOh my Susan my heart and prayers go out to the whole family. Literally watching and being with my dear friend Audrey that we stayed with they will be in my thoughts every day. Watching her husband Gary struggle and suffer was devastating for all of us. Pancreatic cancer is cruel. Spending the last four years helping her get on with her life was so hard to watch. Gary was my husbands best friend. I'm so very sorry. I mean this from the bottom of my heart
ReplyDeleteCindy
They are in my prayers. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteOh no, I am taking care of my friend who has pancreatic cancer - I am really beginning to hate that word. He and she will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI truly believe God wants our lives to be full and loving, so I raise Mike and Debbie in prayer, that they will constantly reach out for all of God's goodness and love and healing grace.
ReplyDeletePrayers coming from me as well. My DIL's grandmother is 92. She had pancreatic cancer 40 years ago. She has lived all this time without a pancreas. I know this is rare and hard to believe. She is like one of five people.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining in with my prayers.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Vera
Adding to my prayer list...I hate cancer...I am going to pray for a remission for Mike, it could be anyone of us any day, we are just a stupid cancer cell away!
ReplyDeleteCarol
I pray for Mike to find the strength and faith to win his battle, and Debbie to stay strong for her husband and children. God hold them and grace them with healing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing this to our attention. I have prayed for them and will continue to do so. Please let us know how they are doing and if anything more specific can be asked for them of our loving Father by His children.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for Mike and his family!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this news about your friend. Sent up prayers for Mike and Debbie...and will continue to keep them in my prayers.
