Please Pray for my Friend Tommy
March 7, 2011 | Me

Posted on 03/07/2011 8:52:35 AM PST by Brad from Tennessee

Asking for prayers for my friend, Tommy, in the ICU, regional hospital, Jackson, TN. He's suffering from complications of recent surgery. He's in the last stage of COPD, breathing through a tube. I visited him Saturday. His wife, a nurse, is not hopeful today, but like Tommy, at peace with God's will. I'm leaving for Jackson, shortly. Tommy is a Marine veteran of Vietnam and a Masters level clinical psychologist who worked in mental health and addictions treatment. His life has been dedicated to others. Two years ago he and I were baptized in the Tennessee River by a Pentecostal clergyman while the small congregation sang from the bank. It was a pivotal event in my life.

Thank You and God Bless You All.

Brad

I have a dear loved one who just came out of drug rehab this weekend. I am so very thankful for Tommy and his life’s work.

Lord we thank you that your grace and mercy is surrounding Tommy and we ask you to heal him completely and restore him to full health and wellness, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Heavenly Father, you tell us that our times are in your hands ... Job 12:10 ~ In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

Merciful Father, I pray for an ease in Tommy's breathing, that he and his family and loved ones might enjoy many more days together. Take from him the complications of surgery, O Lord, for Your Word teaches that “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26

Father, how grateful we are that Tommy has a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Fill his earthly days with the wonder of Your love and Your assurance that absent from the body is in Your Presence forevermore. Amen and Amen ...
