The Road Least Taken…


A Prayer for a Friend…

Just heard from a friend over at WordPress Pinoys that another member of ours, Lex, is still in the hospital going through a grueling series of chemotherapy.  He’s been there for almost a month now and there is still no word as to when or how much longer he has to stay there.

I may not know how it feels to undergo such a painful procedure… but my wife and I had a friend once who had leukemia, the very same condition Lex currently has… and we’ve seen how she suffered which in turn affected everyone around her greatly…

So, right now… I’d like to offer a prayer for my friend knowing that God is the Lord of infinite possibilities.

I ask that you, my readers, friends, even strangers… to please spend some time with me by reading the prayer below…

Dear Lord,

You know my friend so much better than I do. You know his sickness and his need. You also know his heart.  Lord, I ask you to be with my friend now, working in his life. Let Your will be done in my friend’s life.

If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, Lord, please help him to see his need and confess.

Lord, I pray for my friend because Your Word says I should pray for His healing.  I believe You hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of Your promise.  I have faith in You to heal my friend, but I also trust in the plan you have for my friend’s life.

Lord, I don’t always understand Your ways, and why my friend has to suffer, but I trust You now.  May You be glorified in my friend’s life and also in mine.  In Jesus name, I pray…

Amen.

To those who spent a little time in prayer with me… thank you and may the Lord bless your lives as well.
