I’ve begged for prayer in the past, but now I am more desperate than I ever have been or thought I could be. I will do anything to have thousands of people praying for John. He is my life, and I need him.
I know so many of you are praying for him, and I humbly ask you to please not stop. Please ask everyone you know to do the same. Today’s surgery is just one example that God hears our prayers. Also, even if you don’t know John or myself, if you feel comfortable, please leave him messages on here for when he wakes up. I can’t wait to share with him the love that surrounds him and God’s relentless mercy and grace.
These are our urgent and specific prayer requests right now. We still praise God for all of His constant provision and love for us. He has blessed us immensely and continues to do so. We know that He loves us more than we can imagine.
1. John stays stable with the ECMO in ICU.
2. John’s infection goes away very quickly – within the next 2-3 days.
3. John’s new heart comes as quickly as he can accept it.
4. There are not any adverse affects or damage to John’s body and organs due to his treatment.
5. Wisdom for John’s doctors, surgeons, and nurses.
6. John’s heart transplant goes smoothly without any complications. His body does not reject his new heart.
7. John recovers smoothly and quickly.
8. God gives us strength and understanding in every step of this process.
9. God continues to be glorified in it all. That our lives and other people’s lives will be changed from being a part of and hearing John’s story. People will receive the gift of salvation and eternal life in Heaven by coming to Jesus.
**10. This one should be at the top. That John is peaceful and comfortable in the ICU. That he feels the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the love that surrounds him. That he knows he is loved. That he is not anxious.
11. That I will live right now though God’s strength in me because there is nothing more in my humanness to contribute. That God will sustain me physically and emotionally.
12. That John’s weak heart will sustain him until his new heart comes.
