Our Father, we come to you today to sing your praises and thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed. Lord, our brother Fred is now in great pain and his health is deteriorating quickly. We ask that you bring his family comfort and peace during this time of suffering, and that you lay your healing hand upon him. If it be Your will, provide wisdom and guidance to the doctors who may operate on him. God, while we may not know Your purposes, we pray in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, that Your plan for Fred will be used to glorify Your name. Amen.
