Loving God, hold Lyle close to Your heart in mind, body and spirit. Although my greatest prayer for him would be physical healing and restoration, You have shown me throughout my life that You offer many types of healing. If there is a miracle of physical healing with Lyle's name on it, I pray that You would send it now. If this is not Your will, I pray for Lyle to feel so close to You that he cannot tell where he ends and You begin. May he not fear the day when he leaves this earth, for his greatest victory of all will come in being welcomed into Your loving arms for an eternity free from all disease, sickeness, pain and hardship. I praise You for the truth of that promise, for the miracle Jesus brought to us when He died for our sins, and was resurrected to bring us eternal life with You. Whether Lyle's miracle is full physical healing, or an eternity with You, either way he wins, Father. Give him a mind to understand, a heart of courage and soul of everlasting peace. In Jesus' name, keep him close by Your side and protect him always ~ amen.
