Prayer Request

Friends,

I write to ask your continued prayers for Avery McGuire and his wife, Julie, members of the Koehler family.

Julie is Patsy Koehler's niece.  Avery, her 25-year-old husband, is fighting a very challenging cancer. He underwent surgery a couple of months ago and a large tumor which was pressing against his heart was successfully removed from his lung.

His recovery seemed to be progressing well until Christmas night, when things took a very bad turn for the worse. After being taken by ambulance to MD Anderson Hospital (a University of Texas Cancer Center), tests revealed that the cancer had metastasized to his bone marrow.

Bob and Patsy Koehler are thankful for the prayers offered previously and ask continued prayers for Avery, his wife, Julie, and their family during this sorrowful time.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Taylor
Prayer for Strength and Confidence
Gracious God, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your sick servant Avery, and give your power of healing to those who minister to his needs, that he may be strengthened in his weakness and have confidence in your loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
- Book of Common Prayer, p. 459
For Recovery from Sickness
O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers: Mercifully accept our prayers, and grant to your servant Avery
the help of your power, that his sickness may be turned into health, and our sorrow into joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
- Book of Common Prayer, p. 458
