This prayer request is for a good (the best) friend and co-worker.
Despite regular eye exams, my friend Frank found out he has glaucoma in both eyes very early this year. He has been yanked around, in my opinion, by both insurance company and doctors. The medications have not worked very well, and the first surgery did very little to stem the preesure in his eyes.
As a result, he has lost permanently much of his vision in the last few months.
One of his last hopes was a doctor at a very well respected university out of state. Today this Dr. told my friend that he was legally blind and cannot drive any more, (he has to drive 80+ miles round trip to work). He will be starting my friend on a different medication combo, but for now, no surgery.
My friend is a wonderful man and a devout Christian. He is kind and patient, and very giving, and has many wonderful qualities. Despite many trials in his life, he remains good humored and displays no noticeable self pity.
Please join me in praying that our Lord, God and Savior, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, reach out and touch Frank with his healing hand and helps my friend in this difficult time.
Found online and modified to fit the circumstances.
God of all creation, you who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from the darkness, I ask you now to send forth your miracle-working power to heal Wayne’s friend. You cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind and by speaking a simple command, you empowered the crippled to rise up and walk. You sent forth your life-giving power to all those in need, including those you raised from the dead. I ask you to send forth your healing power into Wayne’s friend’s body and give him the strength to fight his illness. I ask this through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
Prayers for Frank and for those who love him.
May your friend find God’s love in through this trial, and may he continue to have friends like you.
Praying for Frank.
Lord God, Jesus Christ, heal Thy servant Frank.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Thanks, everyone, for you prayers, care, concern, and advice. I am passing this all along to Frank.
