"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
James 5:15-16 (NIV)

"And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. And anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results."
James 5:15-16 (NLT)

Dear Lord,

You know David so much better than anyone does. You know his sickness and his need. You are wiser than the doctors. You love him more than humanly possible. We have witnessed his great example, but You see his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with David now, and to work in his life. Let Your will be done in his life. Lord, I pray for my friend because Your Word says I should pray for his healing. I believe You hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of Your unbreakable promise. I have faith in You to heal David, but I also trust in the plan you have for his life.

I pray that my heart will be surrendered to you, and to trust that you will somehow take care of your child. Lord, I don't always understand Your ways, and why David has to suffer and be in pain, but I trust You now. I pray for the peace of his family members, for Angela to be strong and steadfast in the face of uncertainty and fear. I pray for his parents to learn to rely on you, and for their whole family to be bonded in your love, Father. I pray for Campus to be united and loving during this trying time, and to constantly remember your grace.

May You be glorified in David's life and also in mine. I love you, in Jesus' name, Amen.
