Today marks one week from my pending back surgery. On the one hand, I am looking forward to it for the pain relief, but at the same time it is unsettling because it is a pretty big procedure. As the day draws closer, I continue to hear from friends and family offering their prayers. They are much appreciated!
I'm not sure that we always realize how meaningful and powerful prayers are. I have often heard from folks that I have prayed with in a hospital or in a difficult circumstance. Time and again they let me know how much it meant to them. But I think we sometimes have to find ourselves in the position of needing the prayers to grasp how much they mean.
I guess what I am trying to say is to not underestimate the importance and impact of praying for one another in all circumstances. We should all be ready to offer our prayers to others and equally as ready to receive them.

Hi, Chris -
I believe the Lord has answered our prayers in a mighty way, and you are through the surgery and headed home soon! Now begins the long road to recovery, but the mighty God who guides the surgeon's hands will sustain you in your rehab. We thank Him for you and your family, and trust Him to continue to guide you and lead you in your ministry with us.
