PRAYERS FOR A FRIEND
Me | 8/31/10 | WVNan

Posted on 08/31/2010 10:14:56 AM PDT by WVNan

Ozzie is a very good friend of mine. He is one of those people whom everyone loves. He is a positive Christian man, who affirms in the face of adversity, that "It's all good." Ozzie is facing a battle with lung cancer. He is having surgery today for a mass in his Gall Bladder. Then after he heals from that they will take the spots off his lung. I know that a beautiful prayer thread with lots of neat graphics would do wonders for him. So, I'm asking you to help me.

Holy God,

May Your servant, Ozzie, receive all the wonderful blessings of healing that Jesus paid for on the Cross of Calvary. Grant his doctors the wisdom and understanding they need to carry out the Great Physician’s orders. May the resurrection power of our Lord and Savior completely restore and invigorate his body so that he may continue to serve You in good health. Blessed is Your mighty and awesome Name, Great God. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Our Lord God has everything in control according to His purpose for Ozzie. Ozzie stay strong in the faith. HE never lets HIS sons and daughters down. You may yet be required to pluck many strings in the future, and bring the joy of music to others.

Ozzie, we add our prayers.

We pray for a successful surgery, and a full and quick recovery.

We pray that the Lord will protect and guide you through many more years, in service to his plan.

We pray this for you:

Psa 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psa 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

A Healing Scripture for Ozzie, and for all those who are in need of the touch from the Great Physician’s hand ~

From a study by Joyce Meyer:

Exodus 15:25-26 – And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, and said, if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee. (KJV)

26 … I the Lord am your healer. (New English Bible)
26 … for I the Lord am thy physician. (Leeser)
26 … I am the Lord your life-giver. (Basic English)
26 … I am Yahweh thy physician. (Rotherham)
26 … I, Jehovah, am healing thee. (Young)
26 … for I, the Lord, make you immune to them (diseases). (Smith-Goodspeed)
26 … I, the Lord, will bring thee only health. (Knox)

CONFESSION: God is speaking to me now, saying, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” He is watching over this Word to perform it. He is the Lord that healeth me. He is healing me now. This Word contains the ability to produce what it says. He is the Lord that healeth me. He is healing me now. His Word is full of healing power. I receive this Word now. I receive the healing that is in His Word now. Healing is inherent in God’s nature. God is in me. My body is the temple of God. My body is the temple of the Lord that healeth me. God is bigger than sickness and Satan. God is dwelling inside of me now, healing me now. The Lord that healeth me is my Shepherd; I do not lack healing. My body is in contact with the Lord that healeth me. My body has to respond to God’s healing life and nature at work in me now. Healing is in God, and God is in me. I thank You, Father, because You are my Healer; and You are healing me now.

Ozzie....so you are friends with Nan, are you? My deepest sympathy to you.... Well, you couldn't ask for a nicer friend and I do know, oh, I do know, that she will pay me back for that. :)

Ozzie...we're praying for you, that all of your needs will be met. ALL of them.

Nan asked for pictures...well, there's this little feller named Logan who, against all earthly odds...survived....and has excelled. Ohhhhhhh boy, has he excelled. This is what we put up for Logan when he was having a rough go of it ....so if you're a friend of Nan, you deserve the same as our Logan. Ask her, she'll tell you the story.



You go OZZIE!!!! :) :)

Dear Lord in Heaven, we pray that You put Your Hands on Ozzie now and heal him of his illnesses. Please keep him strong, please give he and the doctors the wisdom they need to let him be well again. We pray that ALL of this leaves his body NOW, that he can go back home and amaze HIS doctors too. Thank you that You've given Nan to him as a friend, thank you for this forum where we can come together in prayer....we ask this in Your Holy Name, Amen!!!


Logan's Prayer Warriors? Please pray...

Dear Nan, I'm Praying for Ozzie and Asking that our Lord will Work Mightily through his Surgeons, and that Christ's Grace, Mercies, Compassions, and Love will Flow through his Entire Medical Team, and through Everyone who Ministers to him. May our Savior's Healing be with Ozzie, and Jesus Surround him with His Tender Care.

PRAYERS GOING UP!




THE TWENTY THIRD PSALM

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."
