Just needing Prayers at this time:

I came to this board because a Sweet and Dear person(Cee Cee). She is so wonderful and kind. She emailed me and told me I should come here for Prayer and Support. I am comptemplating on having Surgery, worked hard for 3 months doing all the tests. I was approved and was supposed to have the Surgery on the 28th of December. But seeing I have a mild case of Sleep Apnea and Medicare won't pay for the machine. If anyone can think of anything I can do Please let me know. Dr. Udekwu wouldn't do the Surgery, So not sure what I am going to do now. I know God has a purpose for everything that happens in our lifes. I lost my DH the 27th of December after a long illness. I am really having a hard time of it and hadn't been able to concentrate on my Surgery. I want to have it because my DH wanted me to have it so I could be healthy. Now he is not here, I know he is watching over me and wouldn't want me to give up. So you will probably see me here sometimes I am so lonely and empty inside sometimes I don't know what to do but cry a river. Thanks for listening Carol

Hi Carol. I am listening, and I am praying. You have been through so much, and it is sure okay to cry a river. God is there with you, and He will wipe away your tears. In the meantime, do know that there are lots of caring brothers and sisters in Christ right here, and we will listen and we will pray for you. God bless and keep you in His tender care. Peg

Hi Carol, Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry to hear about your dear husband.The loss of a loved one is always so unexpected.Sending (((HUGS))) to you.Please feel free to e-mail me anytime. I hope everything works out for your surgery. God bless. Pam B.

Carol, You have had so many stressful events....I am truly sorry for your loss. How long were you married? Certainly no words can give you understanding for these cir****tances but God can give peace that passes that understanding. I pray that during these coming months you will be able to overcome the obstacles that are delaying your surgery. Perhaps it is just that God wants you stronger physicially and emotionally for this undertaking. God bless you and keep you.... luvitsunnyv

Carol, When reading you post I couldn't help but think of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Read it with me: 1 There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; 3 a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; 5 a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing; 6 a time to search and a time to count as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away; 7 a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak; 8 a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. Maybe you are finding yourself in a place of confusion and loneliness, but God has told us in His word that there is a time for everything. We also know that God's timing is perfect and what might not make much sense now, will come together in His timing. I am so sorry that you have so much on your plate to deal with right now, but find peace in this: you are a child of the living God, when you feel completely alone, you're not, HE is there with you; hugging you, holding your hand, wiping your tears. He loves you and would never give you more than you can bear. When you feel like no one understands your emptiness, open His word and let Him speak to you. Let Him reveal His love for you and His plan for your life. We serve a mighty good God and He would never let you be down longer than is necessary for edification and then glorification to Him. Keep your chin up! We love you and welcome you with open arms to this forum. God bless, Dawn

Just reading this and want to simply add that I too pray that you will be comforted in your loss and that the Lord will make a way for you to have whatever you need in your life, including surgery. Please come visit with us often!

Dear Carol, Cee Cee is a dear sister and I thank the Lord for her and I thank the Lord for her sending you our way. You are in good company here on this board the people are so loving and encouraging and prayer warriors! My heart goes out to you in the loss of your husband. I pray for God's will in your life and that He will meet you at your greatest need. If I was there right now I would hug you and say "just cry." God feels our tears and someday when we are with Him there won't be any more tears! Bless your heart and I pray that God will fill your emptiness. I love you! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

My dearest Carol, You are part of the body of Christ, and I cannot say that I know what you are going through, but I know WHO is going through this with you. I pray that the God of peace will send his Comforter to you so strongly that you can feel his presence with you. I pray for a double portion of peace to be given to you. We have this one thing to hold on to, that we do not grieve as those without HOPE. Please email me if there is anything I can do or pray for you. You are loved! Darlene

Hi Carol. We all will cry with you just as Jesus will. Talk to Him, Carol. Tell Him exactly how you feel. He wants you to. And let the Lord give you the guidance that you need. We'll pray with you but He'll answer you. Look and listen for His will. Then you'll have peace and know why this is all happening. There is a calmness that you'll find in His word. Believe us. We've been there. peace, Glenn

*hugs* Carol.. i am so glad that you posted here. i continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. love you!
