Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
I know some of you have already heard but others of you are not aware of the journey my family began yesterday.
After seeing an Ear Nose and Throat Dr, we were referred to the University Pediactric Emergency Room. After a CAT Scan, & MRI the Dr's determined my son Zak (13) has a brain tumor. It is located in the brain stem where they are unable to operate and or biopsy. Our son is of great spirits and is a very strong boy. I believe his faith is holding him steady and providing him with the peace he needs at this time.
Zak is not in any pain but recently experienced symptoms of staggered walk, and dizzyness. He acts like he's intoxicated, verbally and physically.
I am confident that the Lord is in total control of the situation. We too feel God leading us through this trial and we will walk the whole journey with us.
My prayer for this is that it is an opportunity for unsaved members of our family be saved through this experience. We are praying for complete healing and expect nothing less from the Lord.
Please do share this with your congregants and family we appreciate all your prayers.
Zak is open to prayer and has been prayed over 4 times already today. We are blessed. I feel we are in a better situation than most people due to my contacts with churches and PCC family members.
Thank you in advance for listening to my rambling. I feel blessed to be able to share this prayer concern with you.

Prayed... Praying...
Prayers going up from here.
Several years ago, the son of a good friend of ours was also told he had an inoperable tumor. During a retreat, the youth and leaders annointed him with oil, and prayed over him. He lost consciousness. When taken to the emergency room, scans revealed that the tumor had burst. Doctors were then able to operate to remove the remnants. I’ll be praying for the same for your pastor’s son.
I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for your son Zak, that Jesus would heal him and remove any trace of cancer from his body.
Prayers for Zac

Thanks for the note and excuse me while I remove the lump from my throat. At the risk of offering unsolicited advice I would merely say the following:
While I am deeply heartened that you have set your faces like flint to walk with God through this, I would only add that while God may certainly choose to bring family members and others to Him through this, He may also choose not to use this event in this manner.
I am learning that sometimes things are really hard and as much as I desperately and humanly want to assign some divine purpose to a hard enduring event, the reality I must learn is that He is the Master and He may do with my life as He sees fit. What He chooses to do with me and through me is His decision alone. By His grace it is my purpose to reach that point of surrender because it is to Him that I owe all.
Thanks again for the post. You are in my prayers. I pray that God may grant you true peace through His Spirit.
Prayers for Zac.
