I just got off the phone with my sister. She called me in tears, to tell me about a dear friend of hers, a husband and a father of 2, that had had a massive heart attack at the age of 43. He was clinically dead for 30 minutes until they got him to the hospital, where he was revived 5 times, and is now in a coma. His doctors have a grim diagnosis for his recovery.
His name is Dave Jones.
His wife is Denise.
Dave is one of the good ones. Dave NEEDS to be in this world because his place in Heaven is already assured.
My wife has put in a prayer request at the largest Lutheran church in Atlanta, where she is the facilities manager.
I told my sister that between the wife and myself, the church, and the FReepers, that at least 50,000 people would be praying for Dave.
My sister is not prone to call me on a Friday night to ask for ANYTHING. Please, say a little something tonight for this guy.
Thank you in advance, Merry Christmas and God Bless.

Prayers up for Dave!
I join in prayer for Dave!
Prayers up!
Prayers for Dave and his family. God's will WILL be done, and Dave has already been brought back 5 times.
Whether that means that he will be brought back a 6th time, or is now crossing into God's Kingdom in Heaven, will be revealed when it is time.
All we know for sure is that he is being watched over, and will go where he is most needed.
Praise the Lord for Dave's life, the miracles he has witnessed and been part of, and of those to come, whether he witnesses them down here with us or from a much loftier perch.
Prayers sent
Heavenly Father, we ask for a miracle of recovery for this man and for your mercy on the mother and their children that you would restore their husband and father to good health. Give him many more years to serve You here, Lord, if it be your will. In Jesus' Name I ask this.
Prayers for Dave. May God watch over and protect him, comfort and heal him. May the Lord hold Denise and her family close to His side as they face the uncertain. May He bless and guide the hands that care for this man, so that the best outcome may be realized. May He ease the burden of worry on the loved ones' hearts.

Texas-sized prayers going upward on behalf of Dave and his family. TIA
Mr. Jones and his family are in my prayers today.
We acknowledge that nothing is too difficult for You, and we bring before You Your son who needs a miracle of healing. We pray in faith that You will restore this husband and father to complete health, just as Jesus healed all who came to Him when He walked on this earth. Father, sustain this family through this time of trial as You provide for them and strengthen them. Our eyes are lifted to You, Lord, for You are the answer to every need. We bless You and ask these things in the Name of our Great Physician, Jesus Christ. Amen.
May The Lord God keep and protect Dave and His family.
Praying for Dave in the Name of the King of kings.
My prayers are for your friend - may the good Lord lay His healing hands upon him.
Prayer ping!
