Not giving names... but someone whom I am online friends with, and who I've met in person... thinks she has lung cancer. She's younger than I am, and.. she's VERY not a Christian.
She just told me... and I'm... in shock... and worried... and feeling helpless. I want to pray for her to live, but I'm not sure God will listen, and as far as reaching her for Christ... I'm pretty useless - Never had anyone that I know of find the Lord because of me... (I think that maybe I'm a seed-planter, that I get people to think), but yeah, I feel pretty useless.
Pray for her please. Maybe God will listen to one of us.
Friend of mine...

Haibane, rest assured that the Lord will hear you and listen to your prayer! I will be praying for the salvation and healing of your friend.

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

I will definitely be lifting a prayer. I'm so sorry. I know it must be hard for you, and for her.
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

Things like this are tough. If you are a seed-planter, then you are in God's plan for your friend's salvation. Someone else can come along and water but God gets the increase (I Cor 3, I think). You continue to love her and being a friend to her and you'll be amazed how far your witness goes...
My prayers are with you and your friend.

Bringing this up again lest people forget about it...
Talking to my friend tonight. Her doctors give her a 6 month esitmate...
She's also been feeling suicidal... and I'm just worried. I want... so much good for her... but... I worry. I don't even know how to deal with this.

Well, I figure people won't be praying right at the moment, as it's almost 3 am...
But, I figure maybe God will listen to prayers prayed later and help me and her out now?
My friend is in one of her suicidal moods, talking to her, and I'm afraid to go to bed, because I'm afraid she'll do something to herself without me to talk to, and I'm soooooooooooooo tired.... I'm afraid I might be a bit incoherent with her, but I want to help her and nothing I say works, and she tells me that she wants to die for my sake so I won't worry about her
Gah... I wanna go to bed.. but I can't until I know she's going to be at least somewhat alright for a while!
And she can't seem to contact anyone in her immediate physical area...
I'm exhausted, and worried, and going freakin' insane...

Which is exactly what she needed, to know there is someone else out there.
I'll keep your friend in prayer.

Not too good. She tells me that she constantly feels wretched and she moves slow... and hyperventilates sometimes. I'm praying a lot... and I'm just depressed about this whole situation. I want her to feel better.
She told me that someone said to her; "So, you're dying. Get over it." So... she's been depressed, too. The idiot who told her that needs a good smack over the head.

I know what you mean, I recently met a girl who is younger than me online as well. She is not a Christian and has alot of problems at home. There are even some issues of her father abusing her and her siblings. So pray for her as well!
