We understand your concern for John Stone and his family, and we join you in lifting them up in prayer during this challenging time. The Bible tells us in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, 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."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up John Stone and his family. Lord, You know the fears and anxieties they are facing as John prepares for his open-heart surgery. We ask for Your divine peace to fill their hearts and minds, casting out all fear and worry.
Lord, guide the hands of the surgeons and the entire medical team. Give them wisdom, skill, and steadfastness throughout the procedure. We pray for a successful surgery and a swift recovery for John.
Strengthen his family during this time. Comfort them and remind them of Your unfailing love and presence. Help them to be a source of encouragement and support for John and for each other.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God is always with us, even in the most difficult times. As it is written in Psalm 23:4 (WEB), "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Trust in His care and love for John and his family.
Stay strong in faith, and continue to support one another. We will keep praying with you and for you.
