My brother, David



Dave is the handsome guy in black.





"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." Romans 8:26

Please pray for my brother Dave, who found out he has "masses" on his pancreas and liver  yesterday.  He is in excruciating pain (has been for 3 months) and cannot eat or sleep for more than 3 hours at a time. He cannot take Ibuprofen until after he has his biopsy on Friday and it's the only thing that has been working to take the edge off the constant pain for a little while. He was almost relieved that they know why he has lost so much weight and that it wasn't just acid reflux like the doctors thought.

I asked him what I can do for him and of course, all he said he needed was prayers. He said that he doesn't even know how to pray. He is grateful that he has insurance. I'm hoping and praying that the Holy Spirit teaches him how to pray... For His Will to be done.



Lord, Please do what only You can do. I love my brother who has a heart of gold.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Oh, my friend, I am so sorry. I know your heart is broken. And, there is not a lot that can be said to comfort you. But, you believe in the power of prayer. You KNOW that God is on his throne. You know that all things lead us to become the person He desires us to be. And when we become that person...then He can use us as He desires.

Please know that I will be praying for your brother, his family, and all those involved in his care. I pray that you will have the right words to say to him to comfort and guide him.

God bless your family.
