Dear Lord,
You know Bernard so much better than I do. You know his sickness and the burden he carries. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with Bernard now as you work in his life. Lord, let your will be done in Bernard's life. Lord, I pray for Bernard just as your Word tells me to pray, for healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you, Lord, to heal Bernard, but I also trust in the plan you have for his life. LOrd I ask you to show mercy and grace toward Bernard. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with your presence. Let him and his family know you are there with him through this difficulty. Give him strength. And may you, through this difficulty, be glorified in his life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
