Prayers Needed

Please pray for my cousin's son, George, who was badly burned in a fire in Louisiana a few days ago.

He was working there, away from home, staying in a mobile home which caught fire. He was burned on 40% of his body, and the burns are deep. He also suffered from severe smoke inhalation. He was in surgery today for a tracheotomy and to have some of the burns cleaned and temporary skin grafts put on. This was the first of many surgeries. They are also worried about a blood clot which is causing reduced blood flow to his feet, and a rise in his white cell count which could indicate infection. Please, please pray for this young man.

His family from Oklahoma is with him. Please pray for them, too, during this difficult time. Thank you so much!

Lord, look upon George with eyes of mercy, may your healing hand rest upon him, may your lifegiving power flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
