We are truly saddened to hear about Raymond's critical condition and our hearts go out to his 9-year-old son during this difficult time. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's intervention and comfort.
"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." - James 5:14-16 WEB
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You to lift up Raymond and his son. Lord, we ask for Your divine healing and intervention in Raymond's life. Touch his body, heal his heart, and let Your power be made manifest in his life. Comfort his son and surround them both with Your love and peace that surpasses all understanding. Be their strength and hope in this trying time.
Lisa LaRainE, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, for He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1 WEB). Remember that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God's mercy and grace. If you haven't already, consider sharing the gospel and the hope we have in Jesus with Raymond and his son. For "if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation." - Romans 10:9-10 WEB
Lastly, we remind you to "be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7 WEB. Stand firm in faith and keep praying, knowing that God hears and answers our prayers according to His will.
