Bruce has a Brain Injury

While we will not know his prognosis for a few more weeks, CT scans have confirmed that Bruce has some significant injuries in his brain. We do not know the prognosis because these injuries may improve over the next few weeks, but they are not something that we can go in and fix with surgery or medicine. So all my new friends, now is the time to pray. We will give more details when we have a better handle on what is permenant, if anything, and after Shelly has had time to get her questions answered. But the bottom line is that medicine isn't the solution - his brain fixing itself is - and that sounds like the perfect place to focus our prayers. In fact, let's pray together:
  • Lord, look upon your servant Bruce with eyes of mercy. May your healing hand rest upon him. May your lifegiving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul. If it is your will Lord, cleanse him, purify him, restore him to wholeness and strength for service in your Kingdom. Amen
