holy father, we as a group come to your footstool in humility, to ask for this precious life, to stay with their family for many many more years. Lord, as one who smoked, i understand the control of addiction and the price it wreaks on the human body. I know you can utilize this time in her life to be as close as a breath, to comfort, and heal. I stand in the gap for her, asking that healing flow from your fingertips into her body. Make yourself real to her, lord, like you did to my momma. Show her the lengths of your love as decisions need to be made. I know healing comes from doctors and breakthroughs all the time, guided by your hand. I trust you, father, and your will for her life, to be fulfilled to the fullest. Lord, i also know there are different types of healing. For there is healing for the spirit, soul and body. Father, i ask for all three, with blessings overflowing as only you can do, not leaving one thread hanging loose. Lord i ask that you calm the fears for the family, quiet their silent anger, as she needs them to support her decisions. Lord, i thank you for helping, loving, healing, comforting, and providing all needs for this family at this time of the year. Give them optimism, faith, and hope to endure. Thank you, father for everything you are about to do. For it's in the healing name of jesus, i ask, amein.
