Quick and Urgent Prayer Request

A dear friend got a call today from a lifelong friend who needs prayers for several people.

My friend's friend needs prayers for herself, first, because she just found out she needs another knee replacement. I don't know if this means replacing a previous replacement or whether it means the other knee - I forgot to ask.

And this lifelong friend of hers asked for prayers for another friend of theirs. This other friend's husband was just diagnosed with cancer of the larynx. At the moment, his swallowing capacity is less than that of a soda straw. If they have to remove the entire larynx, he loses his voice and needs one of those voice boxes and quite probably some sort of feeding tube. Needless to say, everyone concerned is frightened while they await test results.

I love how you all pray for folks you don't even know. I pray, in turn, for blessings for each of you who do this.

Sweet Lord Jesus, you are our healer, our miracle worker. These people need your love and compassion, your strength, and faith and patience while they await the outcomes of these frightening situations. Please bless them with these things and with medical teams who are reliable. We trust in you.
