Re: Kind of selfish Prayer Request

[Guest guest]

,

I will pray for you. I can understand. Dr. Rutledge wants me to lose close

to 40 pounds before he can do the procedure. So I also need suggestions on

how to get this off so I can have this surgery. I am at 417 pounds and need

to lose below 400. I am going to miss the caffeine and my sodas. Take Care

, Your prayer request is not selfish at all. I don't think it is

ever ever wrong to pray and ask Gods help, whatever it may be, especially

when it involves our health. I will be praying for you for sure. Say the

scripture over and over. " I can do all things through Christ, which

strengthens me " . Say it over and over until it saturates your mind and body

and you shall overcome!!!!! I have used that scripture all my life and it

has seen me through enormous problems. in Mo. MGB 1 10 2000

<< Hi Group - this is kind of a selfish request, but would you all please

say a prayer for me because I quit smoking and drinking coffee (or any

caffeine) on Monday, and I'm finding it VERY HARD. I am trying to

get healthy before surgery, (even though I can't find a PCP to

support me -BUT- that's a whole other story!) I know I'll eventually

reap the rewards...but right now I am extremely edgy and not pleasant

to be around. (My poor husband is hiding from me at this very

moment.) I know this is a very christian group, and I believe in the

power of prayer - and at this point I need all the help I can get!

Thanks all,

I will sure pray for you as hard as I can. I too want , need and have

to quit smoking before having this surgery to give me a better chance at

surviving it. I truly, truly know how you feel and what you're going thru, so

I'll pray everyday for God to give you the strength to accomplish this as it

can be one of the hardest things in the world to do.!!!!!!!
