My time to need some prayers

[3gr8kids]

Hi everyone. I'm hoping if you all don't mind, maybe say a few prayers for my best friends husband. I just got home from Mass General, where he has been since Thursday. They originally thought he had the flu, but as it turns out, he contracted listeria, which then, because he had already had a compromised immune system, somehow turned into bacterial meningitis. He is currently on life support - all of his organs have shut down, he is on dialysis, and he's got a direct line into his heart because it is failing. He is only 56. The doc's say the next 24 hours are critical, but as my DH and I were leaving the hospital it didn't look good. The medication they are pumping into him for his heart isn't working.
Sorry to post such a sad post, but at this point every little prayer will help and I really don't know what else to do.
Thanks in advance, and hopefully all my future posts will be happy ones.

Ok, now is not the time for political correctness. If Christianity offends you, avert your eyes.

Lord God -- holy, mighty and good -- we praise you and thank you for your unmerited love and mercy demonstrated toward us, both rebels and children: sinners all. We pray a special measure of your grace for this stricken man, that your name might be praised as we witness a miraculous recovery. We ask that you would bring your comforter, the Holy Spirit, alongside those in anguish and pain. We ask that you would supernaturally enable those who would minister in these times of trouble, that they might speak your words, which are uniquely powerful. While we hope for healing, we realize that our thoughts are not your thoughts, and in our finite smallness we confess that we do not always understand, help us to trust. May you be high and exalted, we pray in the strong name of Jesus Christ.

Amen. Nothing that I can possibly add to that.
