Prayer Forum
Welcome to the Prayer Forum at Martha’s Big Adventure where you can request prayers for a personal concern or pray for others. The idea for the Prayer Forum developed after my own surgery for melanoma cancer at Northwestern in Chicago, Illinois where I made sure that every person of faith within my reach added me to their prayer list. My personal belief system stands on the foundation that intercessory prayers, or prayers given on behalf of others, work.
Now, I’d like to return the favor and I’ve created a place where all of you can reach across the divide and ask for or offer comfort through prayers with each other.
Hand the prayers over and then do your best to leave them here. Do that as often as needed in recognition that we’re not in charge of the outcome and we’re going forward anyway.
In my own case, the blessings have been an enormous outpouring of love, including Nurse Lenora before surgery and MaryAnn in the financial office, both of whom offered up prayers. As I was being wheeled down that hall I could feel all of those people taking time out of their day, again and again, to ask for assistance from something bigger than ourselves, on my behalf.
Dr. Jeffrey Wayne, our own Dr. Pedram Gerami and Dr. Simon Yoo and their teams did a great job and what turned into two different surgeries went better than expected. There were no skin grafts and a cane instead of crutches with very little pain afterwards. All very good stuff.
So, take time today here in the Prayer Forum to offer up gratitude or remorse or whatever has become too big to carry and do it over and over again if necessary. No need to clean it up so that it might be better received, either. This isn’t a contest where you might be seen as lacking. Prayer is one time when it’s okay to say whatever is on your heart and then let it go to work, unseen in front of you. All of us here at Martha’s Big Adventure will be right there with you.
