A David Psalm

 ¹ Light, space, zest— that's God!
   So, with him on my side I'm fearless,
      afraid of no one and nothing.

 ² When vandal hordes ride down
      ready to eat me alive,
   Those bullies and toughs
      fall flat on their faces.

 ³ When besieged,
      I'm calm as a baby.
   When all hell breaks loose,
      I'm collected and cool.

 ⁴ I'm asking God for one thing,
      only one thing:
   To live with him in his house
      my whole life long.
   I'll contemplate his beauty;
      I'll study at his feet.

 ⁵ That's the only quiet, secure place
      in a noisy world,
   The perfect getaway,
      far from the buzz of traffic.

 ⁶ God holds me head and shoulders
      above all who try to pull me down.
   I'm headed for his place to offer anthems
      that will raise the roof!
   Already I'm singing God-songs;
      I'm making music to God.

 ^7-9 Listen, God, I'm calling at the top of my lungs:
      "Be good to me! Answer me!"
   When my heart whispered, "Seek God,"
      my whole being replied,
   "I'm seeking him!"
      Don't hide from me now!

 ^9-10 You've always been right there for me;
      don't turn your back on me now.
   Don't throw me out, don't abandon me;
      you've always kept the door open.
   My father and mother walked out and left me,
      but God took me in.

 ^11-12 Point me down your highway, God;
      direct me along a well-lighted street;
      show my enemies whose side you're on.
   Don't throw me to the dogs,
      those liars who are out to get me,
      filling the air with their threats.

 ^13-14 I'm sure now I'll see God's goodness
      in the exuberant earth.
   Stay with God!
      Take heart. Don't quit.
   I'll say it again:
      Stay with God.

Lord, we praise you. You are Brian’s light, you are his salvation. He will not be afraid, because you are his security, his omnipotent Creator.

Brian, his parents, and all the intercessors looking towards you do not need to be afraid. The wicked, those that harm Brian, those that damage his condition—those attacking blood cells are his enemies. They seek to devour Brian, to cause him to stumble and fall.

Lord we praise you, because even in the midst of this attack, Brian can stand peacefully in your presence. Lord, Brian wants to walk wholeheartedly in your presence. He wants to seek after you.

May you help him follow you and serve you with all he is. May he desire your beauty, and intently meditate on your goodness. Lord, we pray that you will hide Brian in the hidden place, in the quiet place, in the place where the Enemy cannot touch him.

Lord, we praise you. You have already placed Brian upon the rock of his salvation. We believe that Brian will raise his head confidently above the Devil. We believe he will praise you name and give himself to you—body, soul, and spirit.

Brian will sing praises, play instruments, and praise and worship you. Lord, we thank you because when Brian cries out to you, you will listen. You will forgive Brian his sins and free him from the bondage of leukemia cells and brain damage.

Lord, Brian seeks your face. May your spirit touch him. May he know that your spirit is, even now, watching over him. Lord, we praise you, because you come down and help Brian. You will not forsake him.

When his parents are helpless, you take over. You watch over Brian’s health and care for him. Lord, we pray that you will guide Brian down his path. Even as he sleeps, speak to his spirit.

May he receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation from the heavenly realms. Lord, manifest your great strength. The Enemy wants Brian to walk the jagged, uneven roads—he wants Brian to stumble and fall.

However, we persistently believe that you are beyond all human medicine, and that you can open up a straight, smooth path—a successful road to recovery.

You continuously hold Brian in the palm of your hands, watching over every aspect, every facet of his growth.

In your name, we rebuke Satan’s lies and accusations. We believe that you are the God of the Living Peoples. We have seen your grace in Brian’s life and on his body.

As we face this trial taking place before our eyes, we will not falter. We will not lose courage, because we know that one day, Brian will personally testify about your grace.

Lord, we are willing to wait on you. Please refill us with faith and strength to be strong and take heart. Give us courage and patience.

Lord, we are willing to wait on you.

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

Amen.
