My brother has been a Sheriff's deputy for some years in a red state - he is the personification of a "good cop" and is an excellent father of three.
Unfortunately, a back injury has progressed to the point that he is forced to change careers. So he's begun work toward getting a CDL. In the meantime, he's unemployed.
His wife is due in April for their fourth child. She has received notice that she will be terminated if she doesn't get the first jab by Dec 15. For reasons we all know, they flatly refuse this, so their only source of income is now in jeopardy. Additionally, they were counting on her insurance to pay for a disk replacement - which is quickly becoming non-optional because nerve impingement is causing his legs to buckle randomly.
Needless to say, they are under serious financial pressure. His ray of hope is an interview on Tuesday for a job that should be sufficient to meet their needs.
Here's the request: His name is Eric. Please pray that God will prepare the path before him so that he will be hired for the job he's seeking or will be led to a different opportunity if that is God's wisdom. Also please pray that he will feel God's peace and assurance.
Thank you for your time and concern.
Lord, we lift up Eric to you right now and you know his needs and desires. Father GOD, open the door for him to receive your blessing and direction and make the path clear for his next step in your will for him. Give him peace at this time and we pray also Lord that come Tuesday, his victory in this battle will be taken care of by your mighty hand, Praise GOD Amen
Amen! Dear Lord, also bless Eric's family as they grow. Provide for them, & let them feel your presence with them. Thank you that you have blessed him with a brother who turns his heart to you when there is a need for someone he loves. Hear his prayers and all those who are joining him in praying for Eric & his family. Bless Eric with healing, guidance, and the peace knowing that you are in control and your love for them endures forever! Give them all the faith to accept the grace that their names be added to the Lamb's book of life. Protect this faith that it too may endure forever. I ask this in Jesus' Holy name. Amen.
I'm grateful for your prayers.
You are so very welcome! We follow the King of making ways where we can not see a way. May He bless your brother & his family with the way that is best for them.
I looked for bible verses that talk about God making a way when there was no way and found this list of 100 verses. https://www.openbible.info/topics/god_making_a_way_out_of_nowhere
Thank you, friend.
Amen
Prayer said for them 🙏🏼
Thank you very much.
May the Lord be with them. They are in my prayers.
You have my gratitude.
🙏🤲🙏 He will find a way! Prayer sent for Eric and his family. Of course he has gotten a 2nd opinion...back surgery is a big deal...just a wee suggestion to investigate potential pain relief via Chiropractic care.
Thank you. Sadly, this one is well beyond a chiropractor's capability. The disk is almost entirely gone.
Awww. There will be healing and a new beginning for them!
That is what we hope!
Father God you are Almighty God, our El Shaddai — provider of all our needs. You know Lord what we need and you are a good Father who holds nothing back— Hesed Grace is ours. We lift up our fellow Patriot Eric asking you to bless him and his family. Bring his life into alignment with your will, give him the job he needs for the providing of his family. Bring healing where needed, peace, comfort, and wholeness—nothing missing, nothing broken in his life, and favor with the job he is seeking and poured out blessings. We ask these things in the powerful loving name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen
I am grateful for your prayers, friend.
I will certainly pray for him..... I have my CDL, I was paid to train $22.00 an hour. I drive a school bus currently as well as drive limo buses on the weekends...its great money. I don't know where he lives but many districts are offering paid training, bonuses and great medical benefits. I currently make $24.00 an hour (30 hrs week). Driving limo I make 600.00 - 700.00 in a weekend including tips ( in15 hours) Make sure he gets air brakes endorsement.
This would keep him home with his family more and the 4 hour break in the day affords lots of time for family...I love it!
God has a plan...
Blessings fren...
He is looking forward to a regular schedule and more time to spend with his kids. They're reaching their teenage years, so it's especially important to him.
Thank you.
Prayers your way, and may I also recommend chiropractic help. I have managed to sidestep back surgery with the help of a fabulous chiropractor.
Thank you. Chiropractic can certainly be effective, but in this case he needs surgery. The disk has degraded to the point that it is nearly bone-on-bone, and what little is left is bulging into his spinal cord. Chiropractic can't do anything to help in his case.
I’m so sorry. Back pain is the worst. Praying for quick resolution.
Thank you.
Prayers for him
My gratitude, friend
Praying for his health and success in finding employment
On a side note, has he applied for Social Security Disability? If he has worked at least 10 years full time, he may be eligible.
Thank you.
His mindset is to not seek handouts from the government. I'm sure he'll look into those options if that's what it takes to keep a roof over his kids' head.
If he were willing to get the jab, you're probably right. Insane world we live in.
I understand him feeling that way and it is a long process. But we do pay into the Social Security Disability (SSD) program for events exactly like this. It is often confused with the SSI program that gives money and medical coverage to people who have either never worked or paid into the system for at least 10 years. Just putting it out there.
Sure, and he's humble enough to do it if necessary. He also has family to help out. The kids will not go hungry.
But they've struggled with debt their whole marriage. He had almost crawled his way out of it and then along comes the prospect of having a baby (~$20K) without coverage, and a necessary back surgery (~$250K). This would ruin them financially. Would SSI provide those kinds of resources? I don't know enough about it, but somehow I doubt it.
He told me that as these things dawned on him, he experienced the first panic attack of his life. He's a very good man, with nerves of steel, and it broke my heart to hear that.
Thank you for the idea. I'll look deeper into it.
Can his wife get a religious exemption?
They're looking into that, but it's not looking good.
I know states and companies really don’t care about the rule of law anymore and a lot of them are trying to skirt their way around the constitution and laws but as of right now Title VII of the Civil Rights Act is pretty solid. If they haven’t already, tell them to go to thehealthyamerican.org, scroll down just a little bit on the home page, and check out her webinar that covers the Civil Rights Act and how employers are in violation of it if they refuse a religious exemption that’s based on a sincerely held belief. It’s long but very informative and educational. Me, my coworker, and our boss all watched it for tips and info.
Thank you very much. I've passed it on.
Thank you, honeymussie. I've passed that on.
I believe the winds of change are blowing with the vaxx mandate. It it so obviously illegal, both by federal law and the Nuremberg Code that it must be overturned. Surely his wife can get an exemption for being pregnant. I would suggest that she ruthlessly pursue this route. In the meantime, fren, I will keep both Eric and his wife and soon-to-be child in my prayers. God is good and will provide the solution!
They intend to fight with everything they have, but they aren't in a position to endure until the illegality is acknowledged.
Thank you very much for your prayers, friend!
Heavenly Father, you are the one who meets all out needs according to your riches in Glory through Messiah Jesus. You have called Eric to be the provider and head of his family, and You will not turn aside from that call nor will you claim back the gifts you have given him. Please heal Eric through what ever means you choose- supernatural, natural or a combination of the two. Eric seeks to obey you and your call, provide work for him that is better for him than he would dare ask or think, and with a fellow patriot who will not push the vaxx. Whether it is another sheriffs' office, private security or what ever, meet their needs.
Thank you very much.
God knows all we need. May he comfort Eric and his family soon. Amen.
Thank you.
I will pray that they will be able to endure whatever happens and they will be able to prevail over the worst case.
But I don't think of God as Santa Claus granting wishes.
My brother isn't looking for wish-fulfillment. He just wants to earn his own keep and feed his family.
Thank you for your prayers.
Prayer said. 🙏🏻
Thank you very much, friend.
God, please Bless and Protect Eric and his family. Let them receive the best outcome possible.

I wonder if her work saw this, if they would still push her to get it.
Thank you very much. I've passed on this information.
Welcome, fren. Hope it helps.
My prayers are with your brother, Eric and family. May he find a way to a job to support his family with a good health plan to take care of all their needs.
I appreciate your prayers and concern, friend.
Look up Dr Bergman on yt. He is mainly a chiropractor, but so much more. He's got videos where he talks about spine disc's will regenerate over time.
Thank you, I'll take a look.
🙏 May God bless Eric and his family and secure the job that is so desperately needed. May the Holy Spirit enlighten him on his interview…in Jesus name we pray.
Thank you very much, friend.
That’s what we are here for… to lift each other up…my thoughts and prayers are with your brother and his family. God bless🙏
His wife must be terminated and she must be offered insurance (which they must pay for) for 18 months by federal law.
I'll look into that, thank you.
Heavenly Father, we need you now as always and we are so grateful for our many blessings! We come before you to lift up our brother, Eric and his family. You know everything they need to prepare for their new baby and the challenges before them set by those with hearts of darkness.
Abba, bless them with a shroud of heavenly protection. Guide their decisions to protect new life and seek the path that is yours.
Thank you for blessing Eric with a loving family who seeks Your Face.
We ask this in the name of the one True God. AMEN!🙏🙌
Thank you for your prayers, friend.
Dear OP, we THANK YOU for uplifting your brother to us - and in turn - we are privileged to uplift you BOTH to our precious Lord Jesus. Just like the friends who lowered the man down into the very presence of Christ in the Bible Story (Luke 5: 17 & following), so we now do what we know to do in the Presence of our Master.
Something in your request (in this forum) triggered the memory of prophet Isaiah telling us: "My House will be a house of prayer for ALL nations!" (Ch 56:7) THANK YOU also, for helping to make this forum a HOUSE OF PRAYER for ALL nations!
"Beloved, Precious Father God, we turn to you in JOY and in THANKSGIVING that You have enabled the brother of Eric to gather us for prayer in Your Holy Name. And so, as a 'family' in Christ Jesus we uplift Eric & his family and Eric's brother and family to YOU, the Great Physician. Sovereign God, You know well that Eric is only asking for the opportunity to care for his loved ones in the best way he knows. Eric's brother has called us to prayer and so we JOIN with them in Praising You and in Worship of You; our beloved Lord. Permit us to uplift to You, this precious former Sheriff's Deputy who has done SO MUCH for his community over the years. We ask for Your tender touch on this whole situation, we ask for Your MIGHTY provision for the needs of these families and we ask that You will be GLORIFIED throughout the community when those surrounding, experience the loving power of Almighty God in their midst. In the treasured and Holy Name of Jesus we pray, AMEN, Gracious Lord! AMEN and AMEN!"
My deepest gratitude, friend.
"Brother of Eric" has a nice ring to it.
Amen. That just snuck in there. I have to credit the Holy One for that showing up. See? He is Lord even as we offer our prayers, asking Him to BE Lord over all. Hah HAHH! You give me joy in our Lord.
I think prayers work best when we humble ourselves and ask for nothing for ourselves but for God’s will to be done and blessings bestowed on others. Love your God and love your neighbor as yourself.
I truly hope that Eric and family receives a multitude of blessings as a result of our prayers.
Thank you very much. In my experience, God is happy to grant us specific blessings if we ask for them, always subject to His wisdom.
🙏 God bless Eric!!
Thank you.
Can he go out on leave or disability, or workers comp due to his back injury? I’m only asking as if it’s a back injury that causes him to be out awhile, I know some things being through some things myself.
Sadly no, the injury is from his youth. He doesn't qualify for any work-related benefits to treat it. He is loathe to seek government assistance. And he refuses to put his fellow officers at risk because his legs fail at a critical moment.
So can he take a desk job, or go into dispatch? Trucking is good yes. I was just thinking of things he can do in law enforcement without totally giving up the job/time. Maybe work the cameras at a prison/jail, or work probation/parole? Or be a resource officer at a Middle or High School? Sorry just ideas jumping out of the brain haha.
Even the desk officers have to be physically capable, and he's determined not to put his fellow officers at risk.
Have prayed that Eric will get best job he's ever had and blessings for his wife and new baby!
Thank you, friend.
If she’s had the job for more than a year at full time hours she is covered under FMLA. She can take it immediately and stay out up to a year. No pay, of course, but they cannot terminate her insurance during that time I don’t think. She’d still have to pay the premiums, of course.
Prayers, fren!
Very interesting, I'll look into that. Thank you very much.
I would encourage him to have the surgery, while they have the insurance. Quickly… Then once he heals he can look for a position. I don’t know if that’s feasible but best of luck. I will pray for him!
I don't believe they're able to schedule him that quickly.
Thank you very much.
If your brother has even a tiny bit of disc left, he may be able to improve without surgery. Please check out http://thediscinstitute.com/intradiscnutrosis-treatment/. They helped my sister immensely. She was in constant pain and surgery was recommended. She took this route instead.
Thank you, I'll pass on that information.
If he's interested and money is an issue, have him set up a go fund me or venmo or whatever the conservative version of those are, let us know and we can all pitch in. Every dollar will help.
Thank you for the thought, friend. His extended family has means he can tap into before he has to take that step. The kids will not go hungry and will keep their roof. God's comfort and aid are what he needs that we can't provide.
Keep us posted on Eric
So many here will be saying Prayers for this man and his family tonight
I am deeply grateful for this. Thank you.
Praying for them.
I am grateful, friend.
Praying now brother...
Thank you, friend.
Lord, please take care of Eric and his family, You know what they need. Please God, I ask this in Your Son and our Savior Jesus' name.
Thank you very much.
Tell Eric to get an inversion table and a ribbed roller for the floor. Even a tennis ball. I don’t recommend surgery at all ever. Thank me later.
If he'd known that 10 or so years ago it might have done some good. Unfortunately at this point, it's just too late. There nothing left to heal.
I’m sorry you feel that way. And I doubt your correct. Shadilay.
Asking Father God to hold Eric and his family in His loving embrace.
I'm grateful for your prayers.
