I am having some serious stomach issues related to my Crohns and will be having a colonoscopy and surgery the next day. They are on the 12th and 13th of February. I am wondering if you could put out a request for prayers as I need all the help I can get. I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time good sir.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for this man\u2019s complete healing in body, soul, and spirit to the glory of your Name. Give his caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, understanding, creativity, insight, skill, and the proper technology to assist in his healing. Give him and all who love him grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love. Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for him. We ask this through Christ our Lord, amen!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
