Dearest Friends & Family,
My friend can truly use all the prayer support he can get! He and his wife just learned that their little two year old son, Parker (who is actually one of a set of triplet boys & has an older sister), was diagnosed with leukemia – ALL. They found this out over the weekend, and little Parker has already had to have a surgery to insert a port and is starting chemotherapy.
While I can share more of the story, I feel like it’s their story to share and I want to respect that. So, here is my request.
PLEASE PRAY!
Please pray any and all prayers you feel compelled to pray – for strength, for love, for patience, for guidance, for support, for understanding, for peace…
Here are some of my prayers:
-
Lord, please guide the doctors to come to the right decision for little Parker
-
I pray the doctors listen to that guidance
-
Lord, please take over the doctors’ hands in taking care of Parker
-
I pray little Parker gets the right care at the right time, and overcomes this quickly
-
I pray once the cancer is gone, there are no relapses
-
I pray Parker’s parents feel Your Arms around them
-
I pray they know You are with them – throughout this entire journey. You will see them and Parker through this!
-
I pray they feel all of the love, support & prayers from their family, friends, neighbors & others who hear their story
-
I pray they ask for and accept the help that all of us are hoping to provide (whatever that help looks like)
-
I pray for Parker’s sister & brothers
-
I pray for their health and their peace
-
I pray for Parker’s extended family & friends
Heavenly Father,
I have so many other thoughts and prayers swirling in my heart & head. Please help all of us to be there for Parker & his family in the way that will best help and support.
And, Lord, all of the literature says that cancer will take around three years to beat – a long and difficult three years. Lord, while I believe in the science, I believe in You more! I know You can make anything happen. If it be Your will, I pray this – please shorten the time and ease Parker’s journey. Please cure him and cure him quickly.
Amen!
