堅持信靠的Brian's Blog

 ⁹ The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.                               ¹⁰ He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. ¹¹ He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

¹² Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— ¹³ children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

 ¹⁴ The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

 ¹⁵ (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)

¹⁶ Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.

Lord, we praise you because you are the true light that illuminates our world. You came to banish Death’s darkness and to bring the true light of eternal life.

May you shine upon Brian, because where light is no darkness can stay, no shadows of leukemia can threaten. Lord of Eternal Light, we pray that you will shine upon Brian.

Lord, we praise you. You are the Creator of the World. You created Brian and gave him the right to call you, “Abba, Father.” He is your loving and trusting son.

Lord, Brian’s body is your temple. It is your temple of worship, and we proclaim that you will not allow illness to rob, plunder, or violate it.

Lord, we pray that you will remember Brian’s willingness to welcome your heart. We believe that you adopted Brian as your own son and are equipping him with power to stand against the attacks of disease.

Lord, we praise you because through our Lord Jesus Christ you claim Brian as your true-born son. In the past, your word has rooted in Brian’s heart, and he longs to be your messenger to the world.

Lord, we praise you, because your Word dwells in Brian. We proclaim that you live among us and reveal your glory, grace, and truth to us today.

We believe that through Brian’s testimony people will come to know your glorious light. Through his life people will see your powers to heal and resurrect.

Lord, in the past you inspired John the Baptist to testify for you. We pray that you will heal Brian so that this young brother-in-Christ will be able to do the same.

May he experience your abundant grace and spread it to those around him through this powerful testimony.

In the name of Jesus Christ, may God fulfill his Holy Word right before our eyes.

Amen.
