A PRAYER FOR A DYING HUSBAND

 

Oh God, don't let this one I love with all my heart die!  Raise him up to life again Father.  I don't want to lose him.  This is too difficult.  Everything in me cries, "No!"  How can I live and function without my husband?

 

Right now, touch my husband with your healing hand.  Your power raised men and women from the dead; raise my husband from his sickbed, Father.  I believe; help my unbelief.  Enter that sick room, Great  Physician.  Touch and heal and restore health.  Nothing is too hard for you, Lord. Ease his pain, strengthen him, and help him begin eating again.  Direct the path of each one who takes care of him.  Let them be gentle and loving.  Help them understand what he needs.  Stay with him when I cannot be beside him, Lord.

 

Oh God, help me, too.  Quiet my anxious fears.  I am in a daze; unable to cope with the simplest daily tasks.  Clear my mind.  Help me accomplish everything that must be done.

 

I know you are a God of Love -- a God who only chooses the best for me; for us. Make me willing to have your will in my life.  I'm so afraid you'll take him from me, Father, but I lay him on your altar and ask that your will be done.  Lead me through this wilderness, Lord.  Walk with me through this deep valley, as you walk with others when they are needy.  Thank You, Lord.  I know you hear and answer prayer.

 

Amen

 

 

Even though I walk through the valley of the

shadow or death, 

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me.

 

Psalm 23:4
