Father, today I simply ask for courage and strength over William. As his first weekend approaches, help him to see all that he has faced, the healing that has begun, the bright future that lies ahead. Protect him from the schemes of the enemy, and wrap him in Your shield of love and grace. We stand in the gap as You remold his life into what You ordain it to be. In the precious name of Jesus, watch over our brother I pray. Amen.
