Heavenly Father,

I give you thanks for the gift of Max. Thank you Lord, for the joy he has brought to his parents, a joy that is your gift as well. But Lord, Max has been caught in this fallen and imperfect world, and he needs your healing Spirit. Thank you for the doctors, nurses and medical team that you have provided.

I acknowledge you as Lord of all Creation, and ruler of all things. With you, nothing is impossible. Lord God, as a sign of your power, and to your glory, breathe your Spirit into little Max's lungs to aid the medical teams and to open passage ways for healing. We entrust Max to your loving care, knowing that you have suffered as we do. I lift up Max's parents to your Lord, that they may find comfort in friends and family at this time, and in you the Great Comforter. May each day dawn as a blessing on them, and may we all see Max grow into strength. I trust your decisions Lord, but I also know what your power can accomplish.

Please heal Max, Great Lord, for him, for his parents, and to your glory.

AMEN.
