Prayer Request for my Dad, Clyde
Could you take a moment to lift a prayer for my Dad? He's a carpenter and while working yesterday, fell from a scaffold onto the homeowner's driveway. He broke his heels…one in two places, the other is shattered. Both will require surgery. He was admitted to a local hospital where they now have his pain under control, but he has major swelling. Apparently, they cannot operate until it's gone down somewhat. (They're saying it could be 5 days before that happens.) We've been told recovery from the surgery will be rather lengthy.
There are lots of questions and concerns looming ahead (Dad is self-employed, won't be able to drive or work for quite some time, Mom doesn't drive and isn't in the best of health, Dad already tends toward depression, etc.) but we know and believe God is in control. This is all part of His plan. There is truly a measure of comfort in that! We are also grateful his injuries are not more severe...he could have broken his legs, his back, his neck or even worse.
We are of course bringing his case to the Great Physician and trusting Him for the best possible outcome. I would be most grateful if you would, too. Thank you.

Heavenly Father, I lift up Tracy precious Dad. I thank You for having Your Hands upon him. I pray for Your healing touch on his heels and his entire body. I pray for a spirit of encouragement and peace for him. I also ask Father for peace for his wife, Tracy and the entire family. With a grateful heart I say thank You Abba Father for provision, peace, protection and healing in all areas needed. We love You Abba and we are so grateful that we can come to You with our needs and I ask in the Mighty and precious Name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.
I just prayed and will continue to do so as I think of it throughout my day. My cousin fell this past fall off his parent's roof helping them out and shattered not only his feet and ankles but also his leg in several places. God is healing him and he could have been worse to. I know God will work in your family through this situation.
Tracy,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's accident. I will keep him and your whole family in my prayers.
I said a prayer for your dad. May the Lord show Himself in every moment, and meet all your needs.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I just prayed and will continue to.
I love the photo you shared of your parents, they are so CUTE together. They have that look of sweetness about them just like their beautiful daughter! ☺
Tracy,
I'm SO very sorry to hear about your father, and the impact this will have on him, and your mom, as well as you and your family.
Father, in Jesus name I pray that your peace, and your comfort will flood the the lives and Tracy and her entire family. Jesus, NOTHING, catches you by surprise, and we know that even in what seems like our darkest hours..you ARE there...in the midst.
Praying that you will restore health and healing to Tracy's dad; and provide comfort to both he and his wife.
Father, help Tracy, to grip the hem of your garment..a little tighter today...as she walks this road with her parents.
And, I pray an EXTRA special blessing on sweet Tracy. Give her your wisdom, your understanding, your love, and your patience...as she ministers to her family.
I LOVE ya Tracy, and I'll be gripping the hem of his garment a little tighter...on your behalf!

I saw your title and came straight over. I have already started praying.
A friend's daughter did the same thing last week except that she fell over her balcony from the 2nd story.
Will keep your dad in prayer.
Much love to you Tracy!
Still praying. I saw this on facebook, I think? Bless his heart! I'm praying he's feeling better every day and that God will provide for the questions for the future.
Wow Tracy, I am SO glad nothing worse happened, but I'm also saddened at what did happen. Sending up prayers for your Dad for a quick healing, and for the rest of your family as you work to encourage him and keep his spirits up!
Tracy, Your concerns are being lifted up. What a neat picture of your parents and may God bring a quick healing and recovery. As well as perfect surgeons. Lovingly, Yolanda
Tracy,
I am just now reading this on Friday, but I will definitely be praying for your dad and his upcoming surgery, as well as the whole work situation and taking care of your mom...
If you would like me to I can include this prayer request on my prayer blog... just let me know and I will add it.
Blessings and prayers...
may he beat all expectations and recover quickly with very little pain...
Lord, your arm is NOT too short...
help them through this struggle and in your name we claim the evil one to flee and for depression not to raise its head during this recovery.
Amen
Oh Tracy! I'm so sorry to hear this! I will be praying for both your parents. This is going to be a difficult road ahead. And I'm praying for you, too! Lots on your plate with this going on.
Tracy, I just sent one up for your dad!
