Dear G-d,
Please watch over our beloved Philip as he lies in innocent slumber, with the purest of souls…
With broken hearts we watch as liver disease robs him of his well-being, his health, his dignity, his consciousness, his life…
He makes small movements and small sounds…. communicating in minute fashion to let his parents know he feels their presence.
What is it about the human spirit that wants to soar even when the ugly face of illness attempts to drag it down?
We struggle to understand why this dear, sweet soul must suffer …
The pain of anguished parents’ hearts as they hover over their beloved child…
Ready to protect, defend, love… to give up their own life so that their child might live his.
What gives parents the strength to persevere as their child , devastated by disease, seems to slip away more and more each moment…all control over his well-being slipping through their own hands.
It is You, G-d, who we turn to for that strength… for without our faith, all hope would be lost…taking with it all dreams for good things to come.
Dear G-d, as we gather in common bond and prayer to plead for Phil’s life, please hear our prayers and supplication.
Do not abandon Philip .. protect him in Your merciful embrace and send him Your healing love… he needs it now more than ever.
AMEN
I am praying so hard for Philip. I will pray these Psalms. It doesn’t matter I’m not Jewish, God hears ALL our prayers as, we all, in a united front for Philip, are “In ONE ACCORD.” I can’t say anything else. I feel very “quiet,” and I continue praying for Randy, Shelly, and your WHOLE family. I pray & will keep praying. ~With love, Lois, a lady, whom Philip befriended online on Pogo Games once, and he is just such a special friend to me. ~~Lois
I know Phil has been added to the transplant list and my prayers are with you. I have kept Mike up to date and he is also worried about Phil.Prayer and faith is what kept me going.
Last year at this time Mike was very ill. Funny thing is we made it through. This year was a real wake-up call your life can change at any time in an instant. Mike was very fortunate if a donor wasn’t found he wouldn’t be here today.
This is why I’ve started writing I wanted to bring attention to the fact that signing your donor card does make a difference. It can save a life.
I am happy to say my persistence is paying off. One of our local publications printed our picture along with the message of how important it is to sign your donor card and give The Gift of Life!
Yes – one publication at a time, one TV show, one news program …ect ect ect
I know what your going through is very hard but please help me bring the message of organ donation to as many people as I can. Through organ donation lives can be saved.
Sam & Gloria think of you all the time and are praying for Philip. We keep up with the blog and pray each day will get better.
