Do you go to the Christianity board? I just found it today!

Hi Bruce!
I was elated when I saw your post this morning! Not only would I like to be involved in praying for others, I would like to ask for prayer as well.
I am just starting this journey after some delays in the past, (see profile for story) but I want what the Lord wants for my life, so I have continued to search.
The issue I face is this...
I am a Gospel vocalist/musician. In the past, when I have gone on near starvation or extremely low cal diets, I have a very hard time singing. I lose my diaphragm power, I feel weak and light headed. Thus, if I go through with WLS, I am fearful of not being able to do what the Lord has called me to do. As I have been singing since the age of two, the thought of losing what I hold so dear devastates me. I am very active in several musical areas in my life, however, leading worship is my main concern at this point.
On the other hand, I feel that if I do not make a move soon, I will be facing severe health repercussions down the road. I am already experiencing some and I feel it is time to move.
I need peace in all of this...I believe that God gave man the wisdom to help people such as myself, in as much as he has given man the wisdom to heal other diseases. Though I have faced some opposition concerning this surgery in the religious community, my Pastor and leadership team are very supportive and praying with me.
Can I please ask that everyone that contributes to this board to pray for clear direction for me? And please, I would love to help pray for others. Our God is not a God of confusion. He has a clear plan for each and every one of us. He delights in His children and wants us to live an abundant life! Not one being viewed from the sidelines. I truly believe that!

Ashley, dear
I went to that board and it was very confusing and did not state specifically what it was about. You should not have to beg others to join a board, if it is appealing and straight forward, such as this one, people will come.
You do not need to keep advertising, if it is good "word of mouth" will get the word out.
If not, well you will need to improve it!
Prayer Before an Operation
Strengthen your servant ____, O God, to do what he/she has to do and bear what he/she has to bear; that, accepting your healing gifts through the skill of surgeons and nurses, he/she may be restored to usefulness in your world with a thankful heart; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Use this prayer for those who may need an operation, it is very soothing.
