The Preacher 161 Posted August 20, 2018 I have been praying about this, and really feel led to do it. I have been criticized for sharing my faith in Jesus Christ on this website, I truly do respect others feelings because it certainly is their right to believe or not to believe, even God does not force one to believe in Him, it must be of one's own free will. I feel deeply that there are some on here that would love to be prayed for, before surgery, during surgery and after surgery, so here's what I am willing to do, if I can be of some comfort to anyone, please email me at brotherron98@gmail.com I assure you that I do have a personal and close relationship with the Lord, he does and always has answered my prayers, and I'm sure as long as I walk in his ways, he will continue to answer them, so please if I can help you in any way, email me. Sincerely, The Preacher. 32 1 Orchids&Dragons, ProudGrammy, Kcoley and 30 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrisb428 626 Posted August 20, 2018 I get not PUSHING beliefs on others, but i dont feel any of your posts have ever done this. There are people talking about being vegan after surgery, just because I am not vegan doesnt mean i cant read or need to be offended that they are different. Whats going to happen if a non Christian reads your post? Will it burn holes through their retinas, no! I feel that whether i share it or not, if someone is using their beliefs in a positive way, there is no harm done. This world needs as much POSITIVITY as it can get! I welcome, thoughts, vibes, prayers to whatever god u believe in, because the fact that you took a minute of YOUR day to do something positive for me is very thoughtful. Just my opinion...... 11 3 clsumrall, ProudGrammy, Drai50 and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 20, 2018 As you know in a little,more than 2 weeks I will,be having my Bariatric surgery after 3 years of planning , trying, and continuing to try for I believe this is something the Lord has planned for me. My friends, I ask that the Great Physician "Scrubs" in with my surgeon. That with his help my surgeon's hands will be swift, sure and true. And that I be restored to health that I may continue to be of service to,others. And that God's purpose and plan for,my life continues .🙏Amen and amen! 8 clsumrall, FluffyChix, awhite1825 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShimmyShade 93 Posted August 20, 2018 I've been on this website since January and never seen someone criticize another person for praying. I've seen people say "I'm not religious so please don't pray for me" but that is more of creating boundaries instead of a personal attack. I don't believe in prayer yet here I am reading this post and saying go for it. If it betters yourself and those around you then don't hesitate to do it. I've had many people of different beliefs pray for me when I got my surgery and I didn't mind because they were doing it out of kindness. 4 Kcoley, Orchids&Dragons, kygirl68 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShrinkingMichael 21 Posted August 20, 2018 I'd welcome your prayers on Thursday when I have my sleeve surgery here in Colorado Springs! Like someone else said in this thread, I'm praying that the Lord scrubs in with my surgeon and has His hand on this whole journey! 7 1 Orchids&Dragons, Kcoley, Frustr8 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
