Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have received your urgent request and we are praying with you for your father and for you in this difficult time.
We understand how heavy it is to be outside the country while your father is unwell in the elders home with breathing difficulty, chest tightness and nausea, and with his kidney function already not good. It is painful to feel far away when you long to be near him.
Take comfort in this truth, that God is not far off but present everywhere, and He is near to those who call upon Him in earnest. He stands continually waiting to hear His children, and His promise is that while we are yet speaking He answers, Here I am. Though you are distant in place from your father, the Lord is present with him there and present with you where you are. Your sins do not need to separate you from Him, for when we draw near to Him in righteousness through Christ He draws near to us.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we lift up this dear father to You. You know his body, his breathing, his chest, his nausea and the weakness of his kidneys. We ask for Your mercy and healing hand upon him. Ease his breathing, relieve the tightness in his chest, calm his nausea and strengthen his kidneys. Give wisdom and diligence to the doctors and caregivers attending him in the elders home, and grant him peace and comfort in his distress. We pray also for his child far away, who carries anxiety and longing to be there. Grant safe and timely travel if it is Your will, and provide peace that passes understanding while waiting. Help both father and child to trust in You, to return to You with full hearts and to know that You are a loving Father who desires our return and hears us when we call. We ask this through Jesus Christ alone, our only hope of salvation, in whose name we have access to Your throne. Amen.
We will continue to keep you and your father in prayer. Please keep us updated, and may the Lord grant you His peace and strength in these days, and may He watch over your father with His care.
