Hello RITAN.

I have a prayer request. My Dad (Jan) is having a hip replacement tomorrow.

I will make a long story short. My dad was a truck driver and was hit head on 15 years ago. Since then, he has suffered daily with tremendous back/leg pain. He has had 6 different surgeries on his spine, most recent one was April 2011. Because of the pain, when he walks he favors one side. This has caused his hip to wear out - it is now bone on bone.

This has been a nightmare of a journey all around for my Dad, and an emotional nightmare for me (and the rest of my family).

I don't have anyone here to turn to spiritually, but praise the Lord I have my family here. Please, if you could all pray for my Dad - for the surgery to go well, for a speedy recovery, and for this to finally relieve some of his pain.

The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (Monday, March 19) at 10am EST.

Your love, support, and prayers are so much more than appreciated.

Thank you, and I love you all.

Love & Blessings, Nicole xo

Ok I will be praying for you all God bless you

Me too! Bless this man, through this time of testing Lord. May the balm of Gilead, the Holy Spirit release and cover him with Your healing virtue. Praying also for the peace of Christ. Please empower Nicole's prayers, as she seeks your face.

Love & blessings...Tender Reed

Chris Nicole, I trust your dad will find this surgery easier than the spinal surgery. Hips are relatively easy with fewer nerves and such. It's the joint they do the most of, for the longest time, with the most experience.

Father God, we hold up Jan to you and ask that you give him and his surgeons and surgical team a deeply restful night's sleep tonight. We ask that you keep all complications in abeyance, that the surgical parts fit perfectly, that everything go perfectly routinely and well. We ask for an uneventful surgical recovery and rehabilitation for Jan also, because we know how much You love him. Bless him and his, in the name of Yeshua, King of Kings.

Agreeing with all regarding Jan's surgery and relief from this constant pain.

I was reminded today that when we come to the end of ourselves; that's when we take the situation to God and find our miracle. May this be so for you, your dad and your family. You've tried so much. There's nothing left to do that hasn't already been done. I know God was there those times, too. But may this be the true end of yourselves where He steps in and heals once and for all. May Dad experience a full healing free at last of pain and receive his miracle.

Father, Jan has been tried beyond endurance and tried many other options to find relief and be healed. Now he has this problem due to the continual pain he's in that's worn down the hip socket to bare bone. Jesus,you are our healer; our all in all. May this surgery be sucessful in it's outcome and bring relief of this hip pain and all pain if possible. We call on your name, a strong tower, a mighty refuge in Your name. Be his strong deliverer in this situation. Reassure him You are in this trouble that's come to Him and have a plan to bring him relief. Surround him and his family with your love and care. Comfort all of them. Give them rest in Your mighty name. For it is in Your name we ask, Amen

Shalom Nicole! I pray in Jesus name that all goes well for you dad tommorow.

Hi Nicole! I know exactly how you are feeling right now. I put in a prayer request a couple of months ago for my mom who just had her second knee replacement. She's doing wonderful by the way! Anyway, my bosses uncle suffered with hip pain for almost 20 years. He decided to do the hip replacement a few years ago and the pain is completely gone! His family tried to get him to do the surgery sooner but he just didn't. Now he talks about it all the time. He says it's the best thing that's ever happened to him because the pain is just gone! I hope this encourages you and I'm excited for your dad because I've seen the many blessings these surgeries can bring from so many different people. I pray your dad will have a pain free and safe surgery along with a fast recovery. Lord, please protect Nicole's dad and give him Your supernatural healing. I pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Now let's praise Him Nicole because He is faithful! *:)

Hi CN - I will pray for your Dad for sure. I will pray that God will guide the doctor's hands and that God will envelope your Dad in a healing and protective cocoon - that He will be in your Dad's body and working the same miraculous healing and surgery as when your Dad was growing in your Grandmother's womb. Wish I was there to do the waiting part with you. I'll be praying tomorrow morning as well. Love you girl!

Agreeing with the other brothers and sisters here in prayer.

I have also prayed Nicole. thank you TX THOM for that prayer, I prayed it again.... :)

Chris Nicole,

Daddy's are special to daughters and I am praying for your dad's successful surgery and recovery. Be sure and let us know how he is doing.

God bless and love,
Lynn

Hello Family.

I just want to thank you all for each of your prayers.

My Dad made it through surgery yesterday just fine. Praise the Lord! I spoke with him a while ago and his voice sounds great! I am going to visit him in a bit.

If you all could continue to pray for him and a speedy and pain-free recovery, and for his pain to be gone for good! Maybe it will be...I'm thinking very soon he will be changed into the perfect and pain-free person God intended him to be and we will all be rejoicing with Jesus! :)

Thank you all again. You mean so much to me. I love you all.

Love & Blessings, Nicole xo
