Roy E. Jr.
Roy is a 27 year old paraplegic who has been convicted of manslaughter in the automobile death of his best friend.


I am requesting prayers for strength and hope. An appeals court will be entering a ruling around March 10th that will ultimately change this young man's life forever.

A roll over accident involving a Ford Explorer left Roy a paraplegic and his best friend dead. Roy has no memory of that night. Police claim his speed was six miles over the limit. He pulled left of center. His rear tire had blown. Having committed 2 misdemeanors during this accident led to a felony conviction. Roy was a school teacher with no priors and a spotless driving record. The courts went after him with a vengence. If the conviction holds the sentence is for him to go to prison for 3 years.
He will never walk again and lives with his friends memory every day. He is suicidal. He continued to teach from a wheelchair until his liscense was denied due to the felony record. Now he works for a company doing retirement portfolios. He is trying hard to survive. This was a terrible tragedy for all. Please pray for Roy's deliverance. If it is God's will, he will be free. There is nothing humanly possible to be done for him other than pray.

Please God, I have been trying so hard since the accident to fill your ears with millions of prayers for my son. I know that many many people have taken the time to offer him up to you for healing and delivery. I apoligize that I am greedy and that I want many many more prayers for him. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing, I am Lord, I am. Please direct others to this site so that more will pray for Roy. I will continue to seek out others who have not had prayers listed for them. Dear God, please, you are our only hope, please free my son. In the name of Jesus our saviour, I pray.

Dear Heavenly Father I ask for your prayers for Roy and his family. I pray for your healing power to come over him and heal him physically and spiritually. He has given his life selflessly to teach; please bless his dedication and return his life to him. I am sure that his friend, who knows that it truly was an accident, would want that for him. I ask this in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ - Amen

I also pray in faith that you grant peace37 many blessings for her time and concern for my troubles. I pray for peace of mind and soul for her and roy.

Peace37, I thank you for your prayers because I too need them. My husband may soon be going through by-pass surgery again on his left leg. He has hardening of the arteries and has already gone through two surgeries on his right leg. He will be seeing the surgen Wednesday the 18th so please pray for him as well.
I'm sorry to hear about the problems with your son but I know that God will help him through it all. What ever you do, don't give up. This is a spiritual battle and we will not let the enemy win.

Lord Jesus I pray that You will give Roy and his precious mother the strength and courage that they need to get through this battle. I pray that You will help Roy to focus on You and not on the problems. Help him to have total peace that You will take care of everything. Jesus, I thank You for hearing and answering our prayers.
In Jesus Name I Pray. Amen.

GOD BLESS YOU AWAYS.

To all concerned: Please continue the prayers. Tonight I am sick at heart. The appeals court will not overrule the trial court decision. The intention is to take my son in a few weeks to prison. My son says he will not go. His medical needs are horrendous and I think he fears this more than anything. I am trying to keep us all strong. I know God is there but I truly do not understand.
Peace 37

Sweet kind heavenly father;
In your son Jesus name,

Hear their prayers, touch their hearts
and their lives. Show them the way sweet
Jesus. Wrap your love and your mighty hedge of protection around each of them.
I lift Peace 37 and Roy jr., up to you.
Send them a miracle, sweet Jesus. I ask God's will be done, I pray these prayers in Jesus name. Amen and Amen.

Dear Peace37 - My heart was so sad for you when I read about your news. But immediately, the spirit moved in me and told me to tell you that NOW is the time for great faith. All earthly resolutions may seem exhausted - but let us not forget about the Divine. I firmly believe, that God does his best work, when all hope appears lost. Now is the time for you to be strongest in faith, to stand firm in your believe that God will provide and His Will will be done. Also, I believe you need to look at the situation as an opportunity to help others. Can your son's story be told? Have you shared his plight (espeically his medical needs) with the local media? The national media? The State's government? Your State Representative? Maybe your son's story being told will help lots of others. Perhaps it is a story that needs to be told to bring resolution. Whatever you do, remember two things. NEVER give up faith and do all that you do for God's glory. You and your son will remain in my prayers. May God Bless You. God's Hands

Sweet Jesus;
in your holy name, I pray that you continue to hold this family, and keep them in the shadow of your merciful love. Show them that when one door closes another is opened. Fill this Mother and son with your loving peace.
Weave your fabric of warmth and love around each of them, show yourself to them Jesus, so that they may know that you are with them and you hear their prayers. I ask God's will be done. I pray this prayer in Jesus mighty name.
Amen and amen......................
Peace 37, KEEP PRAYING. THERE IS POWER
IN PRAYER..God will answer in his time,
not ours. He is never to early, or to late, always right on time.........
God bless each of you, you are in my thoughts and all my prayers. Kathy

Dear Friends, We have been researching the options. There is only one other than submitting to the prison sentence. We can file an appeal at the state supreme level. This level of appeal is not guaranteed and after horrendous expense for filing, they can refuse to hear your issue and then the sentence is imposed. Our lawyer would file the same arguments he has previously used to no avail. We have spoken with a very good attorney who also agrees that our chances of success are extremely slim. He would put the time into the brief it needs but is not optimistic about it getting anywhere. His retained is fifteen thousand dollars. Up to now we have already paid close to thirty thousand and still have a balance due. We are researching our means at this time. We are a lower middle class income family. Our savings and whatever is exhausted. There are some options such retirement things etc. This weekend is our only time to think on it. Due to time constraints we need to act by Monday morning. I pray that God leads us in this decision. We could very well be paying fifteen thousand and possibly more for nothing. The court could refuse to hear it. The only good would be that we stood up and fought the good fight. This court after all that could refuse to listen. Please pray that we receive guidance in our decision and options. We are seriously considering this action.
I will keep you posted Thank you.
Peace 37.
Please God, be with us at this time and show us your will. We are tired, upset and not of the frame of mind to depend on our own insight. Thank you, In Jesus name I pray.

come into your presence through
your precious son Jesus, in Jesus name I pray, please
show this family what to do. Wrap your
love and healing around each of them.
Fill their hearts and lives with your love and show them what to do. Show yourself that they continue to know that you are with them and that you hear them calling out to you in their time of need. Sweet Jesus whisper in their ears and guide them with gentle nudges in their hearts. Please Jesus in your mighty name, grant unto them a miracle. Use your DIVINE INTERVENTION and your SUPERNATURAL POWER and please help them. We know that you are the Great Healer and Father of Miracles, and I know that I know that I know that their miracle is on the way. Lift this burden from their hearts and their lives
sweet Jesus. Fill them with your love and your peace father. Give them wisdom and guidance. Sweet Jehovah Jireh, I pray your will be done. I pray this prayer in Jesus mighty name. Amen and Amen..................................

be afraid, nor dismayed, for the Lord
your God is with you wherever you go.

Dear Peace37: Thank you so much for taking time to pray for me when your heart is so burdened with your own needs. What a beautiful and selfless thing it was for you to do for me. Especially because my financial situation is so insignificant against your struggles for your son. I pray that God rewards your prayer, love and patience with his abundant love. I wish I had read your message before today, so that I could have offered prayers that you are guided to make the right decision. But I know that you have prayed on it extensively and others have as well and I have complete confidence in the Lord that you were given the right answer. Whatever that answer was, trust that it is God's will and that this horrible situation will have perfect resolution by His Divine Hand. Please keep us posted and I will continue to prayer for you and your family. God Bless you!

Peace 37
I will continue to pray for Roy and you and for those in authority over him. God knows exactly how to reach them and how to take care of Roy. I know this must be very hard and a very trying time. But I also know that God is bigger than all of our problems and is well able to handle them no matter what the enemy says.

Jesus I pray that You will just show up and show out. That You will be exalted above all else and above all others even when it looks like the enemy has won. The battles of impossibility are the ones You handle best. I thank You and Praise Your Holy Name. Amen.

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

Dear friends,
As of last Sunday evening we had decided to retain the new attorney. What good is money if you feel you haven't given your all to saving your son. Ironically I had very little funds to access but my 81 year old mother came through with five thousand dollars, my single sister out of state sent two thousand, the medical supply company who supplys Roy Jr.'s needs has sent a donation of one thousand five hundred. After that I cashed some stocks my husband had in the company where he works, all in all by Monday we had 10,600.00 paid. The ministers at my church have started a volunteer defense fund. I guess upon hearing the appeals courts decision many many people approached them asking how they could help physically, emotionally, and financially. To say the least I am overwhelmed.
Roy Jr. seems very upbeat. I think he has wanted to fight back legally all along but didn't want to offend the family of his friend who died. They have viciously attacked him verbally over and over during court hearings. It has almost been more than he can bear. Yet, still when I found his "suicide" note, it included a provision requesting us, his family, to continue his practice of placing flowers on Julie's grave every Christmas time in her honor from him. The accident occured on December 28th of 1997.
We realize in retaining this attorney that if we get a Supreme Court hearing the expenses could grow. It is also an unbelieveable amount of money to spend knowing it could be for nothing. But since we made the decision to do it we have all felt relieved and at peace.
Thank you all so much for the prayers and concerns. I can't tell you how much it up lifts me to sign on and read your comments.
Kathy, the verses are perfect and I intend to copy them and paste them for my son to read. I read verse cards at night before going to sleep. I like to think they are guidance regarding particular issues I am thinking of. I am very familiar with some of these and yes, they do give me strength and hope. Even when we have been in our darkest times I have never given up on God. I have wondered why we must wait but I haven't given up.
I again thank you all and will continue to pray for you and yours. This last week had been so hectic I hadn't had time to access this channel. I was hoping to find entrys from you waiting here.

Dear God, thank you so much for all these new friends and believers. It means so much to me to find them, to hear their selfless compassion. The world needs unjudging, compassionate people. It was the way of your son and the way of my heart. I pray that you will help me be the comfort to them that they have been to me. Some people have declared computers evil things. In this venue I have found a means of conversing with others and helping my faith strengthen and grow.
God, bless all of them and help them with the concerns of their lives. Give them hope, strength, love, and above all, give them your peace. Through all of this you have given me those virtues, please grace these wonderful people with them also.
In Jesus name, I pray.
Peace37

Father, I come before you in the precious name of your Son Jesus Christ asking you to look upon this young man. I ask that you lift his heavy burdens and let him find rest. Father, I know that all things are done for your Glory, so I ask that your perfect will be done in this situation. Peace37, St. Matthew 11:28-30 says; Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Also, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness". Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

May God bless you and your son.
