Dear Lord,
J had a stroke 7 or 8 years ago + has a history of heart problems. Now he's developed CHF + lung problems. He's in his upper 80s + may not survive this latest hospitalization.
I pray that his kidneys respond to the diuretics + the excess fluid will shift out of his lungs, be mobilized to the kidneys, + excreted. May this relieve the load on his heart/lungs + lead to his recovery.
I'm sure his wife is beside herself. They've been married around 68 years. Give her comfort as she struggles to get through this. I pray their son, who turned away from you some time ago, will consider what it means to die + what his own eternal destiny will be. J is a strong Christian, as is his wife, so they are secure for eternity, but their son is not--their son also did not raise his own 2 children to know you. May he have an epiphany + turn back to you, + work toward helping his own children know you as well.
In your holy name, amen.
