Praying for LizAn
« on: July 03, 2012, 12:13:12 pm »
Dear friends,

I am asking today for prayers to God for a supportive friend of mine,LizAN. She is going to be undergoing (if not already in progress) surgery today.

 This is part of how we support each other for those "Newbies" to the forum. While I realize that there are some of you who don't believe, I am asking you to send your powerful healing energies in the direction of LA. We are with you LizAN!! Godspeed you on your way to an effortless recovery process!

Bless you,

Mike

Dear AN friends,

This is in response to LizAN....I'm asking all of the Prayer Warriors to come together at her request to help through this temporary setback that she is going through and send her words of the groups support from across this country and around the English reading world! Prayers and good thoughts are coming your way LizAN. Just rest, and take it easy!

Thanks for all the prayers!  I truly felt and continue to feel supported by this group, and I know that your prayers are effective.  I'm doing much better than I was when I last posted.

Thanks again,
Liz

Liz ~

I'm delighted to learn that your recovery is moving along and the headaches are under control.  I don't advise attempting to resume work any time soon but that will be a decision only you can make.  In the meantime, you'll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers as well as those of many others.
