Hope, love, and other four letter words

Our churches have been praying for Alex Douglas, a young man who is in critical need of a liver transplant. His wife, Segournae, is asking persons who know of Alex's need to send him cards and letters of encouragement at:

621 S. Alder

Burlington, WA  98233

Segournae has a blog, "Hope, love, and other four letter words," on which she has been chronicling the long, difficult journey toward a transplant. You can visit her blog by clicking HERE.

And here is a prayer for healing that you can pray for Alex and all others in need of God's healing touch.

Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,

You are the One I turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with your servant in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to your servant. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness from his body.

Dear Lord, I ask you to turn this weakness into strength, suffering into compassion, sorrow into joy, and pain into comfort for others. May your servant trust in your goodness and hope in your faithfulness, even in the middle of this suffering. Let him be filled with patience and joy in your presence as he waits for your healing touch.

Please restore your servant to full health, dear Father. Remove all fear and doubt from his heart by the power of your Holy Spirit, and may you, Lord, be glorified through his life.

As you heal and renew your servant, Lord, may he bless and praise you.

All of this I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Thank you for your prayers and support!
