When you're going through big trials

and you don't know how to cope,

call a friend and ask for prayers--

God will hear and give you hope.

Dear Ed needs our prayers right now,

He's had many trials--and how!

Let us seek God's best for Ed

until he's well and out of bed!

Overlook the poor efforts of this poem, but don't overlook the needs of Ed Matlack today.

Dear Lord, our God and Father,
Please hear our prayers for Ed Matlack, and bring him through this illness with the best results possible.  Touch his body, Father, and heal him according to your will.
Please help Allen to be an encouragement and a blessing to Ed, Your own vessel to convey Your love and Your desire to be His closest Friend, Savior and Lord.

I pray in Jesus' wonderful name.  Amen.
