[__ Prayer __] Prayers for My Husband

My husband had a massive heart attack on Monday. He is in ICU and will probably be there for a long time. Doctors don't know how damaged his heart is or if he will recover. They have put an impeller in his veins to help his heart pump the blood so it can rest and recover. He will have that in for two weeks and then they will try and do drug therapy to heal the heart. If this doesn't work then he will have to go on the heart donor list. As Christians, we know who heals the heart, it isn't doctors it the great healer. Keep Greg in your prayers.

Something good did come of it though, he had been estranged from one of his daughter for 17 years. She came to the hospital and they were able to reconcile their differences. Praise the Lord for that miracle.

Dear Father, please have great grace and mercy on this loved husband and family in his time of need. Bring Your will to light in this trial of his faith, and deliver him and this blessed wife to see the love You have for them. Thank You Father, and I ask this to glorify You. I know You can give the peace that passes understanding, the comfort they so need, and the joy of their salvation. I do come to You in Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Hi IT
I'm so sorry to hear of this.
My prayers will be with you and the entire family.
May God give you strength through this ordeal.
I pray He allows you to be with your husband for many more years.
I know our Lord will be with you and will work all things to your benefit.
 
I am just reading this for the first time. I hope he survives. Will keep him in my prayers.
 
My husband had a massive heart attack on Monday. He is in ICU and will probably be there for a long time. .
A child relative of mine was dying in the hospital from sever burns. Her mother immediate got the Church praying. Doctors said her daughter would not live to see the next morning. Next morning her mother went to the hospital and found her daughter well and playing in the children's room. Medical staff did not know who had unplugged her from the machines. There was a scar on her side, but it looked like an old scar. The previous day it was an open wound from the sever burn leaking fluid. The doctor told the mother that it was the work of a higher power. The child told her mother that Jesus had unplugged her from the equipment and told her it was not time for her to die.

If Christ Jesus was so willing to condescend to provide wine at a wedding when it was not even time for his miracles to show forth, then certainly he is concerned with yourself, your husband and all the details. Who is Christ to us? Is he our savior? Yes? What of his other titles? What of His title of Healer? Is he Healer to us as well as Savior? This is the question all Christians must ask: Who is Christ to usward? And if all of His titles pertain to us, then should we not press in to the benefits those titles bring forth in our lives?

Luk 6:17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judæa and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Luk 6:18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
Luk 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.


Mat 14:36 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Mat 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;


Act 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

I suppose you didn't read the whole thread.
Incredibletransformation's husband passed away about two weeks ago, after she wrote the above.

We DO all have to die someday. God will not heal us each time. The day will come when IT IS our time to go. Miracles are few and far between. We shouldn't expect a miracle every time one of us gets sick.
Jesus did not heal everyone he passed along the street --- only some. We don't know why.

But even HE prayed that the Father's will be done in the Garden of Gethsemane. God's will must be accepted and we are to believe that anything God ALLOWS to happen to us is HIS will and that it is the best for us individually.

No matter what happens, The Lord is STILL our shepherd. When not to heal, then to accept and to continue to believe in His Love.

Psalm 23 comes to mind.

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't know he passed.

I must however disagree with a coupe of your statements. Just becasue God allows something to happen to us does not mean it it God's directive will. What you have referenced would be more in line with His permissive will. Christians can fail to enter into all of their rights and privileges they have in our covenant relationship with Christ. It is not God's fault if a Christian fails to access all of God Almighty's provisions. Yes, we all are going to die. However, no where in God's Word does it say we have to die diseased.

Healing is for everyone. It was not just for the early Church to establish it as some profess. Unfortunately, too many Christians believe that God can heal; but not necessarily that He will heal. Big difference; Big problem.

"Jesus did not heal everyone he passed by."? Your statement implies that everyone He passed by sought to be healed by Him.

Yes, in the Garden Christ prayed the Father's will be done. And certainly it is His will for all to be healed. In addition, Christ's prayer was not addressing the issue of healing nor dying from disease--nor to disease at all for that matter.
