Dear Lord,

You know my brother (Paulino Gibas Aquino) so much better than I do. You know his sickness and the burden he carries. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with my brother now as you work in his life.

Lord, let your will be done in my brother's life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, please help him to see his need and confess.

Lord, I pray for my brother just as your Word tells me to pray, for healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you, Lord, to heal my brother, but I also trust in the plan you have for his life.

Lord, I don't always understand your ways. I don't know why my brother has to suffer, but I trust you. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward my brother. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with your presence.

Let my brother know you are there with him through this difficulty. Give him strength. And may you, through this difficulty, be glorified in his life and also in mine.

Amen.
