Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of concern and love for Gloria. Your Word tells us in Psalm 46:1 that You are "our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." We cling to this promise now as we lift up Gloria to Your care.
Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in her medical situation. Gloria was scheduled for surgery to address a large abdominal aortic aneurysm, but complications have arisen due to a GI bleeding issue. Father, we pray for wisdom and discernment for the GI and vascular teams as they work to diagnose and correct these problems. Guide their hands and minds, Lord, so that they may find a solution that brings healing and relief to Gloria.
In 2 Corinthians 12:9, You said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." We pray that Your grace envelops Gloria during this time of weakness. Strengthen her body, Lord, and fortify her spirit. She has been unable to eat and is very weak; we ask that You provide her with the physical strength needed to endure the diagnostic tests and procedures ahead.
Father, Gloria is a beacon of love and support for her family, always willing to help others. Now, we ask that You surround her with Your love and support. Fill her heart with peace, knowing that You are in control and that You are the Great Physician.
In Isaiah 41:10, You reassure us, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Uphold Gloria, Lord, and let her feel Your presence in every moment.
We pray all of this in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
