Prayer request for Daddy of 5

Posted on 09/10/2005 4:27:33 PM PDT by TruthSetsUFree

I'd like to ask for prayer for my brother-in-law (Dennis, age 36) who was just this week diagnosed with leukemia. This has come as quite a shock to all of us. He had been feeling tired lately (for 3 weeks or so) and went to the doctor on Tuesday, but none of us suspected this.

He has five children - ages 12, 10, 8, 6 and 15 mos. He's married to my younger sister.

The type of leukemia he has is called acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a very aggressive form but it also responds very well to treatment. Please pray that the cancer will not grow rapidly nor spread to other parts of his body, and that treatment will go well and be successful, if that's the Lord's will for him.

Thanks so much for lifting him, my sister, their children, and the rest of our family up in prayer. My sister feels like she needs to be two people right now in two different places (in the hospital with her husband and at home for her children). Right now we're doing our best to care for her children so she can concentrate on Dennis and his recovery.

Thanks so much for your prayers!

Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for all good news! Hallelujah! Help us, Father, to praise Your Good Name in Your Son Jesus Christ, even when the news doesn't appear good to us, because we trust Your Goodness and know that You do indeed work it all together for those who love You and are the Called, all for Your Good Purposes, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thank You for every good and perfect gift, for these answered prayers, and for health to this believing, loving, family man! Amen!
