Dear Powerful Lord, who offers us healing grace, even though we arenot worthy of such mercy, we ask you to heal and strengthen AJ Avello as hisbody battles pneumonia and leukemia. Please keep his heart happy and his spirit glad as he fights thesediseases and endures the chemotherapy. Guide the doctors and nurses as they aid AJ in this time of need.  Gentle yet mighty Lord, protect andnurture Nancy, Charlie, and Jackie as they wait patiently for AJ to heal.  We are thankful for all that you do inour lives to make us better people. In Christ's holy name we pray. Amen.
