My best friend Rick just called and asked "Are you still on that prayer list thing?" Of course, I told him yes, and he passed along an urgent prayer request.
His brother-in-law, Junior, has been fighting cancer for the past year and a half - he's put up a good fight, been in and out of remission, but today, there was a setback.
Junior's platelet count was down to twelve. Rick advised me that the regular count is up around one hundred or so (I'm not a physician, so I'm not certain), but the count was definitely twelve. They performed an emergency transfusion, and from what I could gather, it all looks very "iffy."
Any prayers you could spare for Junior, his family, and for my friend Rick would be deeply and most heartily appreciated.
Almighty God, please help Junior get well again. He's still got a lot left to do for you in this world. Amen.
Prayers up for Junior.

Sorry, I meant Rick's friend.

Dear Father, Abba, Lord,
be with this family on this dark day
where the swirling uncertainty and fears
touch their hearts,
and eternity becomes a looming presence.
Give them strength,
be their strong tower,
their help,
their light when things seem darkest.
O Lord, king of the universe,
to whom the smallest sparrow does not fly without notice,
guide the doctors' hands,
you who look down on us in mercy,
bring the healing needed, heart, mind, soul, body,
as your will determines,
and keep them all in the palm of your hand and under your wing,
this day, and always,
as we ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
