Today, I Need The Help Of All My Friends....

Green Candle for Healing - A green, burning candle, for healing.

As many of you know, I am not Christian, but I still believe in the power of prayer, angels and candles. Today, please, I need to ask for your help... no matter what your beliefs... to form a strong circle of prayer and candles for a very close friend. This friend has been fighting cancer for almost six years, when he initially had twenty-six pounds of cancer tumour removed from his stomach. He managed to fight through four years, putting the dark threat behind him, but then, the cancer came back... to his liver. So, two years ago, bar a month, he had a second operation and chemo, in order to give him the strength and another chance to fight on. Everything was ok until last September, when he had to go and have another piece of his liver removed... now, eight months later, he is undergoing a second, one-day visit to hospital in the past four months, to have a little more of his affected liver shaven off. He was worried about this, and I'm pretty worried too. This is why I'm asking you all to join with me in prayer and the sending of healing powers and angels to help him through this, whichever is the way of your belief. I've spent the best part of the day in ritual and meditation, sending healing and strength to him in his hospital bed. Now, his candle is burning low... so, I would like to ask you all please, to send him angels, strength, healing power and prayers to pull him through this and to keep the power going to drive the cancer away. What I'm asking, I guess, is a "Miracle Circle". I KNOW this can work! Please, will you join me?

Thank you Wiz... I did patch it up, but he's been so worried about this, and I said the wrong thing at the wrong time on Monday night, when he mentioned... and booffff! I sent apology and good luck cards and stuff, but he needed space last night, so all's ok, but just another lull at the moment. lol. I have my thoughts on this, and will contact you by IM about them, if that's ok? Take care my friend.. thank you and Brightest Blessings.

He's just very quiet Wiz, so I decided to give him his space for a while, because it must be difficult to come to terms with keep being knocked back, like he does.

Well, he's home from hospital, as you know, but not talking so I suppose he's still feeling pretty down about stuff. I'll leave him to his own space for now, and we'll just do what we can from afar. I know we can help him if we all pull together. Take care, my dear friend. x

As you know, I'm not strongly religious, but my thoughts and best wishes are with both of you. I hope everything goes well.

No, I know Adren, but the power of thought and wishes is just as valuable. I'm trying to achieve a circle around the world, so that the powers will concentrate from an outer circle into the centre, or my friend. Thank you very much for helping out, my friend. x

I'll most certainly pray for the health and complete recovery of your friend. It must be a nightmarish experience for him to be going through. I do hope he gets better. It's nice to know that he has friends like you to care and pray for him. He must be a nice person. Take care and God bless. CV.

Thank you Vanilla... I knew I could count on you. Yes, I think mentally, it's a nightmare for him. He's moody and often quite withdrawn, but I can ride that, because I understand how he must feel, knowing it can happen any day. He is a very nice, caring and compassionate guy but he's very independent, and refuses physical help, so I have to do this the only way I know how. Brightest Blessings my friend, and you too, take care. x

Thank you so much Easy, my friend. I'm of the firm belief that if we can form a circle of prayer and push the powers of healing inwards towards him, we can make this work. Brightest Blessings.

hi. I'll pray for your friend. I hope he gets better. I know how it feels...I have a friend whose in the hospital right now as well. He got shot and his mom said that he might not be able to walk again. :( Pls include him in your prayer as well. Thank You. And God Bless. I'll pray for him and I'll also pray for God to strengthen you in this trials.
@Darkwing (21583)
17 May 07
Ohhh, Donsky, that's awful that this poor guy might not be able to walk again. Of course, I'll include him in my prayers. Thank you for your support in this. You would think I ought to be strong after five years of this, wouldn't you, but to suddenly see an active person go downhill at such a rate, especially one whom you care for so much, is difficult to accept. Nevertheless, everything happens for a reason and if we can at least slow this down by praying for him, then we will all know we have done something good towards united peace and humanity. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

I reckon I need to send you not just a prayer for your friend but a BIG (((((HUGGGGG))))) for you. Stay strong and keep faith, my friend. x

I pray God will send down Angels to wrap there arms around your friend. I pray that God wipes the cancer away from your friend and it never comes back. I do believe in the power of prayers and especially the power of numbers. Be with your friend, keep his spirits up. Let him know he has people all over the world praying, lifting him up, etc.
@Darkwing (21583)
17 May 07
Yes, I will give him all the support I can muster and that he will allow me to give, Chertsey. Thank you very much for participating in this... I too believe in numbers and different religions and beliefs uniting together to form one, big powerful energy to send to my friend. Brightest Blessings on you and yours, in thanking you for your support.

I'm sorry your friend has to go through this, it's hard at the best of times, when a loved one has to go through this, or when you do. I'll be right along with everyone else sending my thoughts, and wishes, and prayers out to your friend to get through this, but we all have to believe, believe that everything will be alright, and that this will end well. Also hun, maybe it's about time to start researching herbs that cure cancer, i know a lot of people don't believe they can, but heck i know a woman that was terminal, she stopped chemo, radiation, everything, wasn't on any pills or anything and the docs told her she only had a short time to live. She spent a few weeks eating a cup of blue grapes a day and when she went in for her next set of tests to find out how far along her cancer was progressing, they found nothing, no more cancer.
@Darkwing (21583)
17 May 07
Wow... that's a remarkable story about the woman with the grapes. We both believe in herbal remedies, and Gerty has given me a tip that Essiac Tea would be good for him. Perhaps if I could persuade him to take that AND a cupful of blue grapes a day, then it might help. I really do wish he could get off the medication, because I feel it makes one feel worse, rather than better, and there's a limit to how much chemo you can take. Thank you for joining my circle of friends, Spitfire. You thoughts, wishes and prayers are much appreciated. I'm overwhelmed with the support I'm getting here. Brightest Blessings my friend, in perfect love and perfect light.

it is very remarkable yes. I know those treatments make the person feel worse, and i really do feel for him, but it might be a good idea to keep him on that for a while longer until you find the proper treatment otherwise. I'm here if you need to talk, any time.

With the light of this candle my prayers and thoughts are with you and your friend. And I have two very close friends that are Pastors and I have a prayer line with about 40 in that line saying prayers for your friends. please let us know how everything goes. Much love and hugs to you both.
@Darkwing (21583)

Ohhhhhhhh, thank you so much Hoghoney... that's two of you with a whole group of people saying prayers for us, and I'm so grateful to everybody. I have raised over one hundred people in this circle, from all corners of the World. He got through the op ok, and they think they caught all of the cells early. I'm sure this is all down to the unified work, prayers, healing powers and blessings of all our friends. Thank you again, my friend, and Brightest Blessings. I will keep you up to date on this.

Your welcome my friend I know how it is for someone with cancer. My mom had it when we were growing up and she also went throught cehmo and had about 6 different surgerys. It a long and tough road for a cancer person. I am so glad to hear that your friend is doing well. Hugs!
@nancyrowina (3850)

I will light a candle for him and pray for some healing and strength for your friend. Try to stay positive and help your friend stay positive as that's vital at times like these and really makes a difference.
@Darkwing (21583)
16 May 07
Thank you so very much Nancy... yes, I stay positive, and try to help him to, but I have my moments of desperation as you can imagine. It's happening all too often now, and I'm hoping against hope that the theory I have about all this, is right. I know, or believe strongly that if a lot of us band together for him, that something good will come out of it. Brightest Blessings my friend and thank you once again for the andles and prayers.
@Darkwing (21583)

Ooooops .... sorry, that should be *candles, not andles. lol.

I am very sorry to hear that your friend is yet again undergoing this harrowing experience. How is he doing now? I will pray for him in my own little way.
@Darkwing (21583)

He's away on holiday at the moment, Galatea, but they think they caught this lot early enough and managed to get rid of it quickly so that it didn't spread too fast, so hopefully, we're managing to do something. We just have to pray it clears altogether now. He's not feeling too bad at the moment, but then, you never know what to expect. Thank you for joining us in sending healing energies to him... we number over a hundred people now, and his friends are also joining in, so together, we just may be able to make a difference. Brightest Blessings.

Prayer, or however anyone wants to call it, really works. The mind, soul, and heart can do wonders if only we let them. I'll continue to include your friend in my prayers. It's good to know he's on a vacation.

Hello Darkwing, I am so sorry to hear about your friend! I will add him into my daily prayers in hopes that he would recieve spiritual healing, thus give him the strength to heal physically! At times like this, nothing anyone says can take away from the pain you are experiencing but I hope that you can take comfort in knowing that; "you are not alone and my prayers are with you both."
@Darkwing (21583)
16 Jun 07
Liyan... thank you so much. In fact, there is a great deal of comfort to be taken in the fact that I have well over 100 people praying for my friend. That indeed gives me strength and takes away the pain. Many thanks for joining us.

Thank you very much MLGB. With the people I have joined here, and his friends, combined, I really think we can make it through for him. We are numbered at over a hundred people now, praying, sending healing powers, blessings, and burning candles. It's made me realise how many good people there are in the World, who care for their fellow mankind. I can't tell you what a great feeling I have about this. I will keep you all up to date on happenings. Thank you again and Brightest Blessings.
