Several people have asked about Michele’s condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what’s going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn’t able to post here herself right now, as she is in a great deal of pain and gastrointestinal distress.
As you know, the cancer has returned, and it is very aggressive. The chemotherapy that began in January was totally ineffective. Yesterday she started a new drug, and we are hopeful that it will stop the growth of this cancer.
The elders from her church will visit her at home this evening, to lay hands on her and to pray. If you are willing, would you please join us all in prayer tonight?
I intend to closely monitor replies to this thread. I will forward any kind words to Michele, and I will delete anything that is uncharitable.
Thank you,
Angela

Michelle,
The Lord says in Isaiah 50:10, “Who is among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of His servant, that walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God”. He also says in Isaiah 45:3, ‘ I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, in order that you may know that it is I, the Lord God of Israel, who calls you by name.’
Michelle, as you walk in this dark place, may you know throughout, the Lord your God, His comfort and mercy. May you also discover the treasures that await for you there. Hidden to those of us who aren’t walking in that darkness, but apparant to you. With love and prayers, Yvonne

Michele,
This is my prayer for you:
Almighty and Everlasting God,
I come to you in prayer for Michele McGinty. I do not know what the future holds, or your plans for her, but I do know that you are the God of Compassion, of Mercy, of Deliverance…. that in your mercy for the suffering of humankind that you became incarnate, for the sake of our souls…. So I turn to you now, and ask for the alleviation of her suffering. I ask for your guidance for her medical team, for divine intelligence to guide the treatment, the care, the pain relief…
I do not ask for cure here–as that is between Michele and You how long she is supposed to be on earth…. but I ask for a healing. I ask you to pour your Spirit upon her and heal her on whatever level is best, as You know best for her…. and I ask for courage for her, and for Your peace to descend upon her and her family.
All thanks and praise to you, Lord–in Jesus’s name… who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

I am praying for Michele. I first learned of Michele through her Twitter account and have been so blessed by the little contact that I’ve had with her. I sincerely pray that God would put his hand on healing upon her so that she can get well and continue to be a blessing to her family, friends, and others (like me) whom she’s never met but has interacted with.

Any number of people have become perturbed with Michelle, for reasons that may be good or bad or sensible or just plain wrong.

We so often take good health for granted, but pray for ichelle recovery. I don’t know her but God does and He deals with each of us individually. My friend Laine was declared terminal so she quit chemo (it’s only effective for 3 kinds of cancer) and let her hair grow out. Her diagnosis was 5 years ago and she is thriving in the Lord!! God is always right on time and i know He is there for Michelle as well. God Bless

Michelle………….I am sending tons of prayers up for you. I don’t want to see another person die from this disease. My best friend passed away in January from Ovarian Cancer. She had some of the same issues your describing, Stomach and gastro problems. They did a final CT scan and discovered the cancer had moving into her lower stomach and I beleive it also caused a blockage in her bowels. I had her for 10 years but I miss her every day but cancer and treatments took 5 years of her life away from all that loved her. I will pray fervently for you.
Our dearest heavenly Father, I come to you today on Michelle’s behalf. Lord you know the pain cancer causes, the lives it cuts short and all the other complications it brings to a family. Lord, we know you are the Divine healer and we humbly ask that you lay your loving hands on Michelle and heal her sick body. We trust in you and we have faith that you can heal her and make her better. We ask all these things in Jesus precious name. Amen.

Michelle, you are very much on my thoughts today. I am praying for you and your family, especially your daughter. I’ve often disagreed with you, but philosophical, religious, or political disagreements always take a back seat to care for the person, and you are going through hell. Nobody deserves cancer. It just sucks. I hope you are feeling better and that the cancer is on the run. I am confident God is with you, Michelle, in His relentless grace, and I pray that He is filling you with strength, love,health,and peace.
