Prayer and Spiritual Support

SandyUte said:
Amen Chris. Though I am quite verbose as of late (and many times, what can I say :ytongue:), I am very aware of how much suffering goes on with each and every one of you.
I also want to post something good. Almost immediately after people responded here to my post, I had a lot more peace yesterday. I know it is the power of prayer. That isn't to say the tough times yesterday and today didn't continue, and I even know it will in one form or the other in the future, that is the nature of chronic illness, but I felt a peace and strength that wasn't there before. You are my angels on earth. That has helped carried me though.
I had my appointment with my cardiologist today, and Jane, I feel I especially need to tell you, I felt that my health care was being watched over by what you said. This is something that I have had negative experiences with in the past, way too many times (I've actually felt jinxed for lack of a better word). I felt like my health care was being taken in the direction it should this time! Like I mentioned on the Last One Wins thread, my meds for my heart racing was literally doubled, and although the doctor didn't scare me with what can happen in the future (I know only too well), he gently pointed out (as you all know I know), mine is a progressive disease and he wanted to see where it stands now (small easy test scheduled in November that should answer that.) He didn't white wash anything, but was gentle at the same time, and I could tell honestly cared. (Madhu, you might find it is interesting that he is from India too!)
Thanks to everyone here. My heart is full tonight, my health its more tolerable thanks to increase in meds, and I feel like I have direction, something I haven't felt in a long time.
My prayers will continue for those here too.

Glad you felt more peace
 
That is so great Sandy....thank you Jesus....my mom has really taught me even more lately that don't just say your going to pray you may forget do it then and there when asked. It started off being uncomfortable and now is a little easier. It doesn't have to be long....just when two or more agree like He says and not just you alone i believe is good. Thank you Jesus for giving Sandy peace. Please continue to bring peace and comfort and good night sleep to everyone.
 
Lord bless all here and around the world who are suffering. May your guiding hand guide them and your love surround them. May they feel your peace and grace. Bless them and care for them always Lord.💝💞
 
Lord, thank you for your watchful eye and loving goodness. Please continue to watch over all of us here and find comfort in this knowledge of your goodness and watchful eye. Please especially watch over those who are hurting and going through tests and trials. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

I had a mri enterography Monday. The last two nights, i have been up until 4 going to the bathroom. Please pray for me.
 
Lord help Ron to have a smooth colonoscopy and MRI with a good report. I've been fighting a bacterial infection and not getting getting better, please pray.
 
Lord help Jane through this infection. Bless her with good health soon . Amen

Lord help Ron through his colonoscopy with ease and let the results be good for both . Amen
 
Lord, please bless Jane, that her infection can dissipate quickly and she can have relief and peace. Please also bless Ron with relief from his stomach and other problems, and peace also, and that his upcoming colonoscopy will be as comfortable as it can be, before, during and after. Also please guide doctors for both Jane and Ron to know how to best treat them. In Jesus name, Amen.
 
Jane, with enough infections sometimes people develop a resistance to certain antibiotics. Every time I've had a kidney or bladder infection they also do labs to see what meds would work (ie, check which antibiotics I have a resistance to so wouldn't work). Not knowing what type of infection you have (and not asking), but I would call your doctor right away and let him/her know your infection isn't going away and ask if there is another med you can go on.
 
Heavenly father, please give us all the strength we need to improve our lives every day. Let your presence guide us along the right path always, and help us to make the most of this life you have given us. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thanks. I am in the hospital at least overnight. I have three blood clots. My hemoglobin went from 13 to 9 in a year. They want to keep me for observation.
 
Keep in touch Ron. I know the hospital sucks, but it's the best place to be if you are sick. I will continue to pray for you and I'll be around for a few hours if you want someone to chat with.

May the Lord be your shepherd. Amen.
 
Hi Ron. As Chris says you are in the best place. I was in with blood clots on my lungs a few years back after i had an op. I was put on warfarin for a while,to thin my blood abit. Hope they get you well enough to get home soon. Love n hugs 💞
 
Hopefully ye you will be home in 2/3 days. Theres no place like home is there Ron.
Praying for your quick return home and that you feel better very soon. 💞
 
God, please help us all to improve our health, please give the doctors the knowledge and the wisdom to help us find the right path to well being. God, I ask that you help those of us who are having difficulties right now.

Please God, save Ron from his blood clots as well as his other ailments and let him have a comfortable and healthy life. I pray to you, God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
So I'm losing it....my husband just told me he has gonorrhea and had cheated on me. I went and got treated and am at my sisters and mom's house now. He cheated before a long time ago and had promised he wouldn't ever again. I feel like such an idiot. So close to throwing up and can't stop crying. I guess I was just too stupid the last time I got back together with him. I always try to believe in the best in people and he seemed sincere. He now says well I'm a good care giver isn't that enough.....I'm so numb and just want to run away forever running, my head hurts so bad from crying....took pain pill hope it helps...please pray I just cannot believe my life....

I am sorry, Jane. I will pray for you.
 
Hi GI Jane,

OMG! I can't believe this has happened, who even does that!? I'm always here for you. I mean it too. I care about you and I wish I was there to give you a big hug. I'm so sorry that you have been cheated on. I have been cheated on before too and it was terrible. People that do that never seem to stop either. I'm glad you are with your family. Please reach out to me if you need an anonymous person to confide in.

May God guide you and protect you. I pray for you in the name of Jesus. Amen.

💞💝💕

I'm angry too! I would like to beat his ass right around the block into the next year. What a jerk! :thumbdown:

We all care about you. You are such an awesome person Jane, please never forget it!:rosette2: I'll be here for you.
 
Oh my, Jane! My heart is aching for you, sweet lady. And no, he is not a good caretaker, a good caretaker won't break the heart of the one they are caretaker to, let alone introduce an STD.
Because I'm finding myself in a position where I want this to be a personal prayer because of my own life circumstances, I'm not sharing my prayer "out loud" here, but rest assured I am praying for you to find the peace you need, and quickly, and also direction as to what to do to best help your life in the days to come. I will also be praying for your physical health, as I often do for those here. I hope it helps you to know that we all do care about you, immensely. I'm off to say my prayer now... God bless you. 💛💜
 
P.S. Jane, I feel like I should tell you, don't forget that you are one strong lady. I have seen it. God knows the desires of your heart, and that you are kind. Kindness is not a weakness, but those look through a kind heart don't see things the same as those who don't. Don't blame yourself for not seeing this coming. Goodness and love are still that, goodness and love. Besides your other strengths, that is strength. :hug: :ghug:
 
Thank you everyone so much...took my extra sleeping pills last night so I'd sleep and now yep very groggy. Guess I should be glad it wasn't a permanent disease. I'm so numb...been through this before with him minus the clap...16 years is a long time with someone....he had a male relationship once and feel he really wants that....ya should be blessed no aids right....sooooo stupid I am.....so many things to change now....bills...mail....ok work on eating oatmeal I guess instead....thanks for your support everyone....it's tough to talk to family about this....ya

Thanks, I just did my change of address form, form and change of emergency contact with the VA Hospital. Guess that's good for now....it's not like I haven't done this before sooooo it's not too foreign. Going to change my name back AGAIN to Pierce....ya so much to do.
 
You have my full support. I also agree that he is the stupid one for hurting such a wonderful, intelligent, courageous and caring woman. May God bless you and give you strength to move on to a new and better chapter in your life.

Hello again ...

Sorry that I have not been around but a lot has happened with us since my last visit here which was a few years ago.

Anyway ... I went to work and worked in retail for 2 years and it was a lot of fun till then let me go back in October and so I have been looking for work with no luck. So, I am stuck on working from home on housework and other things that are needing to be done.

Hubby turned 60 this year and things went from good for 10 years had not ah problem with his Crohn's till January this year ... he started loosing weight again and was sick a lot and so I was having to keep after him till he finally gave in and decided to see the GI SPECIALIST and she sent him in for a CT SCAN only to show some serious inflamation and so in JULY he had to have part of his small instentine removed along with his appendix so here were are NOVEMBER and he is doing much better after loosing 60+ pounds and surgery and other issues while in the hospital. Only to come hom and have have to get feeling well enough to make the drive to NH for his FIL funeral as my dad died the day he came home from the hospital so ... it's been a busy time ... so I will share a BLOG really soon to share more.

So, just keep us all in prayer. I will return again soon to share more updates as I need to get things done before the DENTIST CHECK UP in the morning. :thumbdown::thumbdown:

I can't seem to get myself out of a depressive slump, a very long one, would you please pray for me? (BTW, there isn't an antidepressant out there that my insurance will cover that doesn't have worse side effects than the depression. Because of my physical conditions, exercise to raise the endorphins is almost next to impossible right now.)

I know what you mean and I am praying for you. My favorite antidepressant is playing with my grandkids. :) They are going to try something new on me this week, I'll let you know the newest one....sigh....Trazadone is my current one.
 
:ghug: Today marks 12 :heart: YEARS since my loving husband found out he had Crohn's and so he has gone thru a lot since then. So, he just had a check up this week with a colonoscopy and he did very well and came out nice and clean and so he hopes to make some HEALTHY CHANGES in the new year as we are both going to work on some changes.

So, if you have Crohn's may your new year be a HEALTHY ONE. I will be in and out for awhile because I got a job and working again so I will be here when I'm able to get on !!

Merry Christmas to one and all & Happy New Year too !!
:ghug::ghug:
 
@Karen I love hearing your husband is doing well. I as well am hoping to make some healthy changes in the New Year. (ok every year I seem to say this and don't always follow through!) So prayers for you and your husband for God to give you strength to make the changes that you need in the new year.
 
Karen im glad your hubby is doing well. Best of luck with the changes and may the Lord bless you both.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year.
Love n best wishes to all.🎄
