I didn't know Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with cancer. As a cancer survivor, I understand the fears and difficulty of that diagnosis.
Dear Lord,
We bring before you this man and his family. We ask that you send your healing and comfort. We also ask you for kindness and mercy to uplift and encourage Patrick through this time.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
