A Prayer Request

I am writing this blog post to ask for your prayers.

On Tuesday, September 30, I’m having lower back fusion surgery here in Fort Wayne.

I’ve had chronic back pain for years from degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis. Non-invasive medical treatments have not helped.

Pray that God’s will be done.

Pray for the surgeons and those who assist them.

Pray for my wife Julie; she’ll be taking care of me while I recover.

I am both nervous and content, anxious yet at peace. Ever have days like that?

God has used this condition to sanctify me and draw me closer to Him. Yes, I must admit, my bad back has been for my good, per Romans 8:28. It’s a paradox of biblical proportions. Pray that I experience the presence and peace of God while I wait on Him.

I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for reading this, and for your prayers.
