PRAYERS

I thought I'd share some things that I know to pray for. Wanted share them with you all.

Prayer Requests for My Surgery

- That I won’t fall. My balance will be totally different.
- Peace through recovery.
- That God would show His power in Doug’s and my lives
- Strength & perseverance for Doug and Carissa as they care for me
- For my bones to REGROW rapidly and the fusion to be successful.
- Protection from infection
- Hospital staff to be alert and conscious of my needs
- For God to be with Carissa. This is a new role for her.
- For God to use this in my life and teach me things about Himself that I would not learn otherwise.
- That I would not be afraid of the pain & that it would be manageable.
- For good use of this down time & for my mind to be alert. (this may be totally off the chart but I'd like it!)
- Protection of my back bones during surgery. Some places that will be getting the screws are now very narrow. Pray my bones will hold screws in place.
- That we would be a “light” in the hospital and for an opportunity to perhaps minister to others who are going through what we are. The hospital ONLY does orthopedic and spine surgery.
- Patience for me. The recovery will be very slow – months. The progress will not always be noticeable. I will need to be a plodder.
