Prayer from a Friend

(e-mail from Philip Wilson)

Dearest Paradi Family,

My name is Philip Wilson and I was a resident at Westminster House along with Sabina at UC Berkeley. In that time I was able to get to know her from a distance, and her sweet disposition was evident to all around her. Her gentleness shone like a diamond in dazzling sunlight, and her words always carried a kindness and dignity that I truly admired.

My prayers are with you in this difficult time, dearest brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe in miracles, and know that our Mighty Heavenly Father is watching over Sabina and caring for her. I am thrilled to read reports that Sabina is on the road (albeit a bumpy one) to recovery.

Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to You in this time of illness. O dearest comforter of the troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden.

Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands. We place dear Sabina under Your care and humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again.

Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge You and to know that whatsoever You do, You do for the love of us.

Amen.

I pray the grace of our Lord Jesus and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you. I and my family send you our love and our promise to keep you in our prayers.


With love,

Philip Wilson

Time to offer some prayers for Sabina.

First and foremost, I would pray for a miracle to bring Sabina to a complete recovery.

Next, the prayer is for Sabina to find comfort through her distress.

Finally, I pray for the love of the Lord for Sabina and to bring her healing for the body and the soul.

Lord, give me and her mother strength and love.

Prayer from California

(e-mail from Sister Jeri, Valley Lighthouse Church)

We agree for God's complete perfect will for our precious friend Sabina, we stand in the gap on her behalf. As warriors we stand together and hold her and her entire family in prayer.

Jesus is the answer, He alone can bring peace and tranquility in the middle of the worst storm at our darkest hour. He tells us, "Be not afraid for I am with you." Even the seas obey His voice, the trees bend in the wind and bow to worship Him in spite of the storms. We must trust and exalt Him, for He is God.

"Father we trust you and you alone, we know you are with Sabina right now in her hospital room. You promise never to leave us or forsake us. You already know of this great need. We bow in humility before you and trust for your perfect will. You are holy and your holy spirit is an ointment that heals and brings deliverance. You are the answer when there are no more answers, you are the door where there is no door, you are the rivers in the desert. You are our only Hope and we stand on your word and your promises. We pray for your loving grace and mercy that endures forever, in the mighty name of our savior Jesus, we wait on you." Amen.
