A Prayer For a Special Friend

A PRAYER FOR A SPECIAL FRIEND

Dear Lord, I have a special friend who’s on my heart right now,
He needs a special touch from You, please do it Lord, somehow.
He’s been a friend of mine so long; I know he prays for me,
His faith and praise have been so real—they I do always see!
Now, Lord, You know he needs a touch from Your almighty arm
For sickness has invaded him and tries to do him harm.
I need to hear his shouts again as he sits in his pew,
So now, dear Lord, I come to bow and leave it up to You.
You know what he means to our church and to his family,
His wife, his kids, his grandkids, too, have meant so much to me.
They are examples of YOUR faith in all you’ve said and done,
So now I come to You, dear Lord, in the name of Your dear Son.
Please, Great Physician, touch him now with healing from Your wings,
And let him know how much You love and care for everything.
We ask for now Your will to be, and we will thank You then
When he is well, in church again, in Jesus’ name, AMEN!
