A Prayer for Debbie

Dear God, 

This week, my aunt Debbie was diagnosed with cancer. I know that so many in our world have been affected by cancer and we have made great strides in fighting it. My main concern is as much for her state of mind as it is for her health. Please help her to realize her strength. Please help her to be as much of an advocate for herself as she has been for me. Please help her to realize that her determination to get better and be well is as important as any other aspect of her treatment. Please help her to find the life lesson in this situation and be grateful for it. I ask this in your name, dear God. Amen.

A Prayer for Eric

Dear God, 

Please help Eric to fight and heal after his horrible car accident on Monday night. He's already survived multiple surgeries including the one to get rid of the blood clot in his brain. Please help his broken bones to heal, his pain to ease and his fear to cease. Please help his family to continue to find the happiness in the success of his surgeries, rather than focus on the horrific after-affects of his accident. Please help him to find strength when he is weak, help him to find love when he is filled with anger, and help him to find peace when he is at odds with his circumstances. Thank you for your help, dear God, and in all the ways you have already aided Eric through this process. 

Amen.

A Prayer for Roger

Dear God, 

Please help Roger and his family who now face the reality of a large tumor in his sinus cavity. Please give them strength and faith that you will guide them through this storm. We know that, in life, we face hardships, but that these are meant as lessons to teach us things about ourselves and about the journey of our souls. Help Roger and his family to know that your love is not the light at the end of the tunnel, but the grace itself that gets us to the end of the tunnel. Please work in concert with Roger's doctors to create the end result that is the to the greatest and highest good of all those involved. Thank you, dear God, for your guidance, your unconditional love and your healing grace. Amen.

A Prayer for the Best Outcome

Please pray for this wonderful person who submitted this prayer to us. Please pray for clarity, for a feeling of purpose, for understanding and for happiness. I'm sure many, many of us have felt this way at one time or another and understand and empathize with this person. Please aid this reader with you prayers.

I recently had an incident that showed me how life can change in the blink of an eye.  I am being asked to make a decision I don't know how to make, except to pray for the best possible outcome.  I feel like my life has been saved several times yet feel I have no useful gifts or purpose.  I've been feeling very lost, and pray that He show me clearly what His plan is for me right now, and how to use the gifts He has given me.

Dear God,

You chose to give this world two beautiful babies who were born very early on. They are now in the care of dedicated nurses and doctors, but their true healing can come only through you.

Please wrap your protective arms around these precious children and bestow your healing blessings on them that they may grow and develop into healthy young children and glorify you in this world.

Please hear my prayer and give Ava and Nikos' family strength to bear this challenge you have sent their way. We ask it in your name...Amen.
