That you could pray for someone who lives in different hemisphere of this world and know God hears and cares. My husband has been fighting cancer for the last 2 1/2 years and people from around the world are praying and we feel it and their support.

We live in a fallen world and since Adam and Eve sin is rampant. So what's the choice become bitter and hateful through the many struggles we have? To the man who lost his best friend when this friend was 48 years old. It's definitely a tragedy. My husband's first battle with cancer was back in 1986, then nothing until 2000 when he had brain tumour removed, then 2 years ago they found his AFP count rose up high again and he needed surgery and more chemo. We have a nine year old daughter! So is it going to make me turn my God? No - sure I feel anger at time but I pour out my heart - everything I'm feeling to God and when I give it to Him he takes it. He even takes it when I'm angry at him. Turning away would only cause me to be lost like so many who chose not to serve God. Lot's of good people suffer - but this present time isn't where it's at like caterpillars we will be transformed someday. Return to God, get your peace back.

The Greatest thing about prayer is that in God there is no distance or time and that He hears every single prayer and answers them all.
It may not be answered in the same fashion we think 'the when, how or whats' should be.
Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.
Take hope and comfort Jeepswife4forever that he knows the battle your husband and you are going through. And that He has heard your cries and counts every tear. He Loves you both soo much. And is with you through it all. He feels your pain. He can relate to man, because He became man and was tempted in every way. Trust in Him as He works out His Perfect Will in your lives.
I have prayed for you and will continue to lift you up before God.
Let us know of any news please, as we too care. We are day by day becoming more like our Father. I would encourage you to read 1Perter Ch1 together

Not in my expeience. I been on this earth 60 years. The only answer to prayer I have seen is NO. I was born and raised in church. Believe me, there WAS NO Virgin Birth. Miracles are totally random and come to those that are least deserving. Tell me about the father of 3 who died at age 48. Did God want him more than his wife and 3 daughters? Not likely. Thousands were praying for him. I can't buy it anymore. U see that guy was my best friend. God and all the prayers were useless. He's been gone a long time now. His widow is surviving working 2 jobs 6 days a week. I don't see any mercy from God here. These folks were NOT sinners. Show me your just and compassionate God.

God bless those with lung cancer and let them find comfort and love amidst their suffering. May their suffering bring them closer to God and allow them to continue serving God's will. Give them the time to finalize what needs finished within their lives before they go home to you Lord.
God bless those who take care of those who have lung cancer and let them know they are not alone and that they make a HUGE impact on the life of the one they're caring for and a HUGE impact on society by extending love.
Amen.

First thing, Do not over text her. She will get annoyed and if you keep telling her "TAKE ME BACK I LOVE YOU." Learn here https://tr.im/9Ppvf
She will not want you even more. You need to show her that you don't need her and can live your life without her. She still cares about you I am sure. Maybe try "flirting" with other girls around her to make her jealous. I know its bad, but if i saw my ex flirting with someone else it would make me REALLY ANGRY. However, you still need to show her you care about her too. Show her what she's missing and remind her of it. Be confident and don't show your broken heart. Try ignoring her? Girls hate that. You want her to come to you. Once she does this YOU have all the power.
She will realize what you mean to her and she will hopefully come crawling back. (I am in the same situation as you, except I am the girl trying to get my ex back). Try not to be so clingy and give her space. But try to be around so she sees you, but don't talk to her much. Keep convos short and if you txt her, which you shouldn't, then also keep it short and bland. This will be hard to do because you just want to let her in your life again, but you can't. If you show her that you are desperate to get her back, she won't go for it. Make her come to you and REMIND her of all that she is missing out on. Hope this helps. And trust me, I know how you feel. Girls usually come around easier than guys so you should be lucky. ughh wish i could say the same.

God hears our prayers if we are doing His Will. His Will for us in this Second Earth/Heaven Age is to accept His Saviour. Do this and you have God's ear.
Prayer is a beautiful thing that only those who love God can know.
In prayer, we touch God's Heart. In return God sends His Holy Spirit to touch us and comfort us.
Talk to God and tell Him you love Him. That's what God wants from you. Let God be God to you.><>

First off..Sorry about your husband. Prayer might not make him well but it will help you all to endure.
Second.......Disease is a terrible thing but God does make a way out of suffering and pain. He allows us to die and sleep until the resurrection. Then we are given a new perfect body. We will all then be able to thank God for all he has done for us.
Pray for strength, pray for endurance to run the race to the end. And thank him that you have each other and that your love has comforted your husband all these years.
May God be with you.

The two great things about prayer are: firstly, it keeps us united and in total surrender to our God who loves us and secondly, we feel good and consoled to be one with our friends who are praying for us and with us. United in prayer therefore makes us stronger in faith and especially in bearing difficulties, in times of sickness and misfortune. The same thing happens when we are happy - we celebrate our joy in thanksgiving prayers as a big community even if our loved ones and friends are far and wide in the world.

that is so sweet and ill be sure to add your husband to my prayers so that he gets well asap. To me the greatest thing about praying is when I am praying with a lot of people in a mosque, i don't know what but it's something about the atmosphere that makes me feel so calm and relaxed and I feel as if my soul is at harmony.

i can't understand it - but then again, my mind doesn't understand a lot of things :D
- when my sister went into labor 3 months early we called people to start praying - and they called people... it wasn't until later we found out we had people literally praying in 4 continents !! (my neice is now 2 months old and is doing great!!! - the doctors even said it was a miracle)
so yes i agree - that God chooses to hear our prayers and He wills to answer them !!

Yes, we can pray for people half the world away and His will be done.
The greatest thing about prayer though, for me, is the sweet communion with the Most High God, and the feeling of pure love and peace I receive when I am speaking with Him.
