Do you believe in the power of prayer?

A dear friend of mine is having open heart surgery on Tuesday and I'm praying and hope you'll join me. He has faith and I know extra prayers won't hurt. Thanks

Update:

Jeffreys- he is in the VA in New York.

Update 2:

Pics and Gtfo- hope you never need a prayer.

    Oh but I do have to believe that My Friend...

    Prayers are very power full for the person in need...Seems to give them much strength and comfort knowing that not only do they have Faith in God to look forward too...But to know that others are on there side and care so...They believe more in there ability to carry on with the extra Strength behind them..

    Count on many coming your way and to your Friend..I say your way also Mary because I know you also need that Strength to be there for your friend who you Love and are worried about...

    Yes I do. I even pray for the ignorant, that they may know a cure.

    I pray often for various reasons, some moderately selfish. I have a casual but respectful relationship with Mr. God, and ask him every night for another chance to get it right. Having Cancer can do that to a person. I ask him to watch over family, friends, even those here in Y/A I care very much about. In the mornin, when i wake, I say "Thank you." and have been saying it faithfully for 3 years.

    I will say prayers for you friend.

    Yes, I know that power of prayer works!!

    Father God right now I just lift up Jeffrey to you knowing that you created that body knowing exactly how it should function. Thank you for the plans that you have for this mans life. Right now I just speak your peace over him, his family and his friends. I pray for wisdom for the doctors, nurses and every member of the staff that has anything to do with any part of this operation. Thank you for bringing this body back into the original alignment you created it to function in. Thank you for your healing power that is and is going to be flowing through this man. May his life bring forth a powerful testimony of how great your power is in his life as you overwhelm him with a Heavenly Fathers love bringing him that much closer to you here on Earth. Bless him and everything he touches his hands to and increase his faith that he may preform those signs, wonders and miracles in your mighty name. Amen!

    Hi Froglady,

    I am glad to hear that he has faith. I am sure that then he is saved. I pray that he will be completely healed, and that all of the caregivers have Father's wisdom, and for a speedy recovery without any complications. In the Name of Jesus.

    There's no such thing as "extra" prayers. There's believing prayer, knowing God is in control no matter what the outcome. He knows what He's doing. I'll be praying for you, too, that your faith remain strong.

    Yes I will!

    Father God in the name of Jesus Christ guide the hand of the surgeons as Froglady's friend goes under the knife for heart surgery. Lord let her come through this operation with flying colours, let her recovery be swift and let her know that you were with her every step of the way.

    I praise you Lord for doing it and being in the operating room. Lord only you protect us and see us through these kinds of things.

    amen

    (((Froglady)))

    I will send to our prayer circle too. God bless you!

    I pray for your friend. Although you are probably not my religion I shall pray for you tonight. May my Lord be with you during your surgery. And may he see you through it.
