**Vanity ~ A favor: please add my friend's son to your prayer list, terminal melanoma

3-5-07

[STARWISE]

I'm punched in the gut with shock. I was just told that the 28 yr. old son, an only child, of one of my co-workers is in the ICU with terminal melanoma. One of his lungs is already filled with a tumor.

I knew something was afoot, but we never found a moment alone for her to tell me the last time I saw her (I work from home and she's at the office). She kept it very private .. until she couldn't anymore.

I would be most grateful for prayers for Mike and his family. Dear Lord, I just can't get past this is in my mind. 28 yrs. old.

Sweet Jesus, please ... if it's Your will, I pray to you for healing of this terrible affliction in Mike, bring Your comfort and help to Mike and his docs in this struggle. Please bring Your tender mercies, the shelter of Your comfort and peace to Mike and his loving family, whatever Your will. Amen

Prayers up for God's will and comfort for Mike and family.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Heavenly Father,

I call on You right now in a special way; it is through Your power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake and every moment of every hour I live under Your power.

Father I ask You to touch me right now in a very special way, for if You created me from nothing, You can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the Healing power of Your Spirit.

Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what is broken, root out any unproductive cells, open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection. Let the warmth of Your Healing love pass through my body to make new any unhealthy areas, so that my body can function the way You created it to function.

And Father restore me to full health in mind, body, soul and spirit so that I may serve You the rest of my life. I make this prayer through Jesus Christ Your Son Our Lord.

Amen.

God
I ask you on behalf of this family. Console, strengthen, encourage, and heal!
Sometimes all we have to offer you<father, is grief and vexation. But you are always merciful beyond out hope. Even if this child should die, we know that you can and will bring good out of this evil and joy out of this sorrow. So when we can no longer think what to ask, still we can rely on you to do the best to our salvation and to your glory.

We can't know WHY, so these awful things are always made worse!

I have a 26 year old daughter, also an only child. I cannot imagine what Mike's family is going through. Lifting Mike, his family, and you, STARWISE, in prayer. May our Lord Jesus Christ wrap you in His loving arms and give you peace.
