Toronto

Lord God,
My young friend arrived in Toronto
To find her father very ill.
Doctors do not know what is wrong with him,
But You do, Almighty God.

Father,
I pray for the man
Whose name in Old Norse means "blessed."
A husband and father,
There are many who worry for his life.
We humbly ask You, Lord,
To restore him
To the fullness and vibrancy of life.

We pray
For You to reveal the source of illness
To the doctors who so desperately seek it...
For the full arsenal of treatments
Used to battle the infection
To take root and flourish...
But ultimately, Lord,
We ask that You reach down
And touch this man
And heal him.
Deliver his life from the pit, O Lord,
Because You are good,
And deal mercifully with us,
And take pity on us.

Father,
Please heal the man whose name in Old Norse means "blessed."
Grant him Your Blessing,
And healing,
And life.
