Request for prayer

To the Cub Family
I have been touched many times by the requests for prayer I have witnessed on this site. It’s amazing how much of a “family†the members of this site are. I have heard that God, through His providence, has chosen that the means through which He releases His power is thru the prayers of the people who follow Him. And particularly through our prayers for another. I’ve also read that He particularly honors the prayers of more than one, when they are gathered together. As they are on this site. That’s as powerful as anything gets in this life. It always amazes me that the ultimate creator and ruler of everything could want to be so personally involved in a relationship with us that He actually became human once, and allowed Himself to be killed to enable that relationship to be possible. But it amazes me even more that He cares about our relatively insignificant needs and is willing to get involved in our lives. A real Father.
It’s is my turn to ask. A week from Monday, on February 20, I am having surgery for prostate cancer. It is very early: prognosis of cure are very high. Yet surgery has many risks and this particular operation is a difficult one, with many potential unpleasant side effects. Pretty scary. I’d appreciate your prayers.
Thanks
Paul
