Our Heavenly Fatherthe words of this hymn spring to mind ;

         When peace like a river attendeth my way,
         when sorrows like sea billows roll.
         Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to know
         It is well, It is well with my soul.

What a joy it is , to know that Cornelia is in YOUR safe hands whether in life or death. You are the giver of life to all and You are the bearer of our burdens throughout its harshest times. Father , you revealed Jesus to this family many years ago and they have held that testimony up for all to see.

As they have been a strength and blessing to the wider family so we in turn ask that you be their Peace , Comfort and Presence at this time of illness. For Papa John and family members who love and carry the greater concern, grant them strength of spirt and surround them also with your love. We ask this in the name that is above every name.....the name of Jesus. Amen.   

Papa John my heart crys out to you in this difficult time.  I know your faith will keep you both but that does not make it any easier.  My prayers are with you and your whole family.  Thanks Pat for bringing me in. AW

Papa John,

I'll be praying for this situation, during these trying moments. 

May God Bless You & Use you to be a Blessing to someone else.

In the service Of Yje King,

Dear Brother Papa,

Praise God that you know who to turn to for help...Yes you lift up your eyes to the lord, and he hears you.  We all stand with you, and agree on earth as touching this. 

Lord you said lay hands on the sick and they'll recover. As our brother lays hands on, and prays for his beloved Cornelia, he's being faithful to your word, and we can know we have the petitions we ask of you.

Father, we ask a very simple prayer:  HELP!!!!  Our Father you know all the details, the hidden complications, the very roots of our health problems as well as everything else.  Lord, get to this problem, and curse it at it's root.  Make Cornelia walk in health even as her soul prospers. 

Minister to her husband, our brother, in a way that only you can lord.  Use us, and other parts of the body to speak words of encouragement, wisdom, peace and health.

I commit them to you lord, in the powerful name of our risen lord, our victorious lord and saviour, Jesus Christ.

Papa John, Pat and I are continuing our prayers for you both. 

There is "family" praying in Japan!

My prayers are for your wife Cornelia, and you Papa John and your family. My heart goes out to you and your wife. God bless you both.

Papa John, I pray that our Heavenly Father will continue to give you, Cornelia, and all of your family strength, comfort and peace as His will continues to be done.

May you and all at your end experience our Heavenly Father's touch as His children gather to pray with & for you, including a family in tropical Malaysia.
God is Good & Great.
With Love, Blessings & Prayers,

Dear Papa John, I am praying for Cornelia.   

Love Ruthie

My heart is saddened by the news of this second heart attack.  May God enfold you in his loving arms and give you strength and comfort.  God loves you.  We love you.  God Bless You and Your Family.

Dearest PapaJohn> I have been praying throughout the night as I awoke. There was also a letter in my email from Norm Tock and one from Jenny expressing their heartfelt blessings for you and Cornelia. Amen to all the prayers that have been posted here, I could not have said it any better than those who have already posted.

I have a message, Papa John from Lee Kirkwood to you:



Dear Pat.

Please be kind enough to forward my heart felt prayers and love for both my sister and brother in Christ.  We take eternal and lasting comfort that His loving kindness will always be with them in their lives and for all time to come.  What wonderful "hope" we have in His atoning blood for us. My prayers are for both John and Cornelia, and may they take comfort in knowing He will never leave them in this most challenging of trials.

In His love.

Lee Kirkwood
Rev.1:3

Oh Pat how wonderful to hear from Lee. I have lost his email address with all my changing of my own address.

Just in from Norm Tock

I JUST hung up from talking Papa John and I  am ready to post this in SN.

  I just got off the phone with Papa John. The fist thing he said was "I have good news." Cornelia had the respirator taken off and is breathing on her own again. If anyone has had one of those things on you  know how uncomfortable they are.

Is this a case of powerful prayers or just Dot's Miracle. I don't think we will ever  know however we may turn it over to Fox News where they can talk about it and then rehash it year after year. 

As he was done talking he said to tell all of you "She is still in critical care - She has a nurse with her one on one. Right now things look pretty good.

Papa John and Cornelia, we continue to lift you, in prayer, to our Father in heaven.  You are so loved.  Nita

Papa John, it is encouraging to hear the news from Norm Tock to Marilyn about Cornelia's improvement.  I know it must be a blessing to you and your family there with you.  God bless you as you continue your vigil by your beloved Cornelia's side.  God is faithful to his Word, and all will be well no matter the outcome; yet we always hope for the best, which is "to God be the Glory."   

Papa John,

I just now recieved the message about your wife. I wanted to let you know that you, your wife and your family are in my prayers..

Just looked into see this request.
Be assured across the miles I am joining with the rest of the people here and praying for Cornelia. Praying the Lord will strengthen you at this time Papa John.
Prayer will make a difference!

Papa John, the news relayed through Norm Tuck and Marilyn is encouraging.  I know it makes your heart a little lighter.  I am still praying, with the rest of the family, for God's BEST for you and Cornelia ... and that you will know the blessed peace that only He can give in such a time as this. 

I had no idea that Marilyn had edited her post to add good news so I'm reposting it here in case there are others who may have missed it like I did:

Dear Papa John,

I just received an email from C.P. telling of Cornelia's illness.  I was so sorry to hear about this and will join everyone else in praying for your wife.  It is good to know that God never leaves us and that nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus - praise God for His everlasting mercy.

Christian love.

Anthony.

Dear Papa John,

I will continue to join everyone in prayer. 

God Bless,

Liz

Papa John and  Cornelia.

I just got the news and want you to know my family and I am praying over both of you.. I hope you are getting some rest in all this, and some food too, okay.

God be with you and your lovely wife, now and always.

Alma

Papa John know that you and your wife will be in my prayers. We know God answers and hears each prayer. And Jesus promised that whatsoever we ask in His name believing we shall recieve. God bless you.

I haven't been on the site for quite a while, but I received notice from Pat that Cornelia had had a heart attack.  I wish to add my prayers to the others that she make a speedy and full recovery.

I have been away since very early this morning, and just got the news. I'm glad there has been some improvement, and want to assure you that my prayers are continuing for your whole family.  We love you all so much.

Papa John I received this email from Ria today.

QuoteO Judy i am sad for Papa John and Cornelia
Papa John is such a lovely man  Can you send him a PM that i keep Cornelia and him and the children in my prayers???

You have prayer lifting you up from all over the world.  May God's presence be felt by both of you!

Hope I'm doing this right. I want to join in the prayers for Papa John and his wife. God will take care of things. God doesn't lie. He is with us every step. We just need to keep hold of His hand.

I just want to thank everyone for their messages of love, care and concern and for all the prayers sent Heavenward on behalf of our dear brother and sister in the Lord.

Yes, Wittybitty, you did it just fine!

Still praying for both of you during this difficult time.
