Prayer Suggestions

Hello,

Jane Davis and Becky Widmer inspired me to create a list of specific prayer requests for persons who are praying for me. Since cancer is such a broad concern, this may help you pray for some of my specific needs.

1. Pray that the chemotherapy continues to melt away the tumors growing in my abdomen, behind my trachea, in my neck, and throughout my lymph areas in my torso.
2. Pray that there is no more tumor growth in my groin where one tumor has already been surgically removed.
3. Pray for the destruction of the cancer cells in my bone marrow.
4. Pray for spiritual and emotional strength for my family and I as there is still a long road ahead with treatment.
5. Pray for my physical strength.
6. Pray that the side effects of chemo will be kept to an unusual minimum. They are nausea, pain, weakened immune system, numbness in my hands and feet, possible kidney damage, and just feeling sick.
7. Pray that my body will be able to avoid any life threatening infections.

Roger Farmer, a friend of mine who also encouraged me to make this prayer list, suggests the following ways for people to pray.

1. Pray for Nathan, Tim, Carol, Erika and Caleb (maybe 5 – 10 minutes for each person).
2. Focus on the healing stories in the Gospels where Jesus preformed incredible miracles and ask God to do the same for Nathan.
3. Pray the various Psalms that focus on healing: Psalms 6, 22, 38, 41, 88, 103 are a few Psalms to start with.

Thanks for all your prayers,

Nathan
