Prayer request please
 

A dear SR friend here needs the power of prayer to do its work. I would like to request prayers for Astro. He said he could use all the prayers he could get and so I believe he won't object to this. Already put out the request on my Facebook.

Astro is in need of work. He has been recently laid off from a company he worked for 14 years at. Its official tomorrow if our prayers don't change that fact. We don't know that God doesn't have something bigger and better in the works for him either.

If before going to bed or even now you could just take a few moments and pray for him and his family I would sure appreciate it. If you don't believe in prayer then just sending him all the positive energy you can muster would be helpful too. Thank you so very much. xxx

I thought he/she was like dying or something... sheesh. O_o but okay.

Prayers going out for Astro and his family. (((hugs))) too.

I am not religious but you are in my thoughts today Astro. I appreciate what you do around here and you and your family deserve the best.
I am sending out positive vibes of hope to you.
Peace.

Astro - one of the kindest & most helpful people here - deserves our prayers and/or positive energy. Losing a longterm job can be a devastating thing - it happened to me. Prayers going up for you, Astro. Thank you S.

Astro - I loved what you said in another post recently..."I too believe that everything goes according to His plan. So lately, I'm just trying to stay out of the way while He does the work."

With that kind of acceptance and trust, you will be guided to greater things.

My prayers are with you and all of us who are struggling.

:lmao No Paul, I'm alive and quite well, and even if someone doesn't believe in God or have faith it's always good to just wish the best for their lives. I like to think that we all try to do that for each other.

This year has been difficult for so many. Honestly, I'm blessed with a roof over my head, a warm bed to sleep in, food on the table, and the love and support of family and friends. So many people are getting by on so much less.

Every day upon awakening I like to think that I sit up in bed and say "OK God, whaddya got for me today"? so I guess the answer is that He wants me to move on to something else. I have to trust in that.

Thank you for this Sarah, and thank you everyone for even the shortest of prayers. Today I'm praying for my boss, that God is working in his life and that he'll find recovery someday. And me, I'm going to do my best to stay out of God's way.

Astro, if there's anyone here who can face this, beat this, turn it around, and get through this stronger, it's you, mate :)

You have all my best wishes and thoughts and prayers, but I have faith you'll be ok :hug:

Astro,

All the very best wishes and prayers for you, and your family. Like others are saying here, there is a season for all things, and this too shall pass. You have a wonderful grace and surety about you Astro, and it comes shining through brightly even on the pages of an internet forum. :)

Who knows the unfolding of each hour of our future days? :flame:

We do know that from sadness can come joy, from oppression can come freedom, from hardship can come gratitude, and from want and need can come abundance and forgiveness.

For whatever reason your path is through the storm of this day, and all storms have an ending, as you know so well from your own strong and faithful service to others, in their hour of need, you were there.

:abcf:

Godspeed, Astro.

Prayers and hugs for you ...your family and friends. ..:amen

Forward we go...side by side
:ghug3

(((Astro))) hugs and prayers for you. I'm currently "underemployed" myself, but I figure God just hasn't decided where to put me next:)

Hugs and prayers!

Well I have to say I'm not surprised that people would step up to the plate. I, of course, know Astro will be fine, but whoever said prayers could hurt? Astro has faith and good solid recovery and so there's no expectation that he will do anything but rise above.

As far as someone dieing because of the way I worded the title "Prayer request please" - I pray for many things in the world and it isn't always about death. We can pray for the still suffering addicts in the world, we can pray for guidance for our government, and many other important issues. There is power in prayer and I wanted a good friend to benefit from that. Sorry to alarm you. Sheesh!!

..your a top person,horselover..:grouphug:

..with a big heart..:c011:..ozy..

Astro-Still sending out those prayers for your situation right now...it is not an easy place to be however I do know the strength that you have will help guide you through this.

:Val004: to you and the family

Prayers dude...

Hehehe yeah i kind of thought it would be something serious, guess it is all relative:-)

I'll say a prayer for you this morning mate, keep strong and have faith:-)

Astro, you are in my thoughts and I wish all the best for you and yours....you give positive support to many people here, i can't help but believe you will also have a positive outcome no matter how it looks at first.....what goes around comes around.

I hope things turn out well, Astro!

Horselover, we all need friends like you. Thanks for passing the request along!

God Bless, Astro. Will pray that what's best happens tomorrow and will send positive vibes, as well.

Keep the Faith.

:ring

Prayers heading your way, Astro.

Scott, prayers being said for you my dear friend.

Here is where your faith comes in big time,

you just got to TRUST your HP, turn it over.

You don't need to know the plan just yet,

all will be revealed in his time. :hug:

Astro, you are such a shining positive light in SR and I am very grateful to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for sure, and I know that the future will reveal itself in wonderful ways that you never could have predicted!

****{astro}}}

Horselover, that's a really kind thing that you did and Astro I already said a prayer for you, fingers x'd for you!!:grouphug:

:grouphug: Prayers from England xxx

S, you're such a great friend :hug: I actually had a chuckle thinking about some words, I think Mark Twain wrote them (?) The rumours about my death have been greatly exaggerated :lmao

I'm taking action today, still keeping that forward motion going, and leaving the fear behind. Printed up some business cards and I'm working on a resume (haven't done that in over 20 years!) I've got to run a few errands this morning, then I'll run by the office and turn in my cell phone, and see if I can help out in any way possible and offer support to my co-workers.

I just talked to my new sponsor, he reminded me that it's better to have a job with a pay cut than no job at all, so I'll most likely hang in until the doors are chained shut.

Oh okay, no disrespect was intended Astro, the post made me think you were way worse off than you were... PHEW, I got spooked there :-p WISHING YOU THE BEST!

(((Astro)))

prayers for your family and every one:ghug3
