Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We come together in faith to lift up our dear sister's father, Paul B, who has been in the hospital for about 16 days, suffering from many health issues. We ask for your urgent prayers for his healing, strength, and will to keep fighting.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy with concern for Paul B. He is experiencing many health challenges and has expressed a desire to give up. Lord, we pray that You fill him with Your strength and the will to keep fighting. Your Word reminds us in Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Lord, we pray for healing over Paul B's health issues. We ask that You stabilize his condition and help him recover on his own. In Jeremiah 30:17, You promise, "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord."
We pray for success in his speech therapy, so he may eat again and regain his strength. Lord, guide his therapists and medical team with Your wisdom. James 1:5 assures us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
Father, we ask that You help Paul B keep his blood pressure stable and continue to make progress in his recovery. We hold onto Your promise in Psalm 41:3, "The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness."
Lord, we also pray for a special blessing: that our sister may have the chance to treat her father to a Yankee game and the biggest milkshake. We know that You delight in granting the desires of our hearts when they align with Your will. Psalm 37:4 says, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
We thank You, Lord, for Your unending love and grace. We ask all these things in Jesus' precious name. Amen.
