We join you, Saraha, in lifting up your younger brother before the throne of grace. Let us unite our hearts in prayer.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You on behalf of Saraha's younger brother as he prepares for his surgery on Monday. We ask, Lord, that You be with him during this time. Guide the hands of the surgeons and the entire medical team. Let this procedure be successful and may the pacemaker serve its purpose perfectly. We pray for a speedy recovery, with no complications, and that Your healing power touches him in every way he needs.
Lord, we also come to You concerning the strong storms expected tonight. You are the one who calms the storms, both literally and metaphorically. We ask that You quiet the winds and waves, and protect Saraha and her family from any harm.
In all these things, we trust in Your goodness and Your plan. Thank You, Father, for Your unfailing love and care for us.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
**Encouragement:**
Saraha, remember the words from the Psalms: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1, WEB). Trust that the Lord will be with your brother during his surgery and that He will calm the storms, just as He calmed the sea in Mark 4:39, "He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace! Be still!' The wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
Keep your faith strong, knowing that our God is a loving and caring Father who watches over us. Continue to pray and seek His face, for He hears the prayers of His children.
