Prayers for a friend

Post by RickD »

Hi all,

I hope you all will pray with me for a good friend. She's more like my wife's adoptive mother, than a friend. Here's a little background. About 15-16 years ago, she had a mastectomy due to breast cancer. One breast was removed. She hasn't been feeling well lately. Losing weight, no motivation do so anything, etc. She's normally very active.
She's already said she's given up. She won't even go to the doctor.

Please keep her in your prayers.

Thank you.
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Is she saved?

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

You have my prayers, Rick.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

I'll lift her up, Rick! I know she's probably scared and depressed.

Update...

She's scheduled for surgery tomorrow, to remove a basketball sized tumor from her abdomen.

I'm glad they worked out what was wrong with her. I'm assuming the tumor is benign?

Apparently she had a 10 liter...yes you read that correctly...10 liter non cancerous tumor removed. She's battling pneumonia, blood clots, and dialysis.

She's not out of the woods yet.

I just wanted to update all of you who had been praying for my friend. She passed away this afternoon sometime around 3pm.



Thank you for all your prayers.
