Joel Antunez

Please pray for the new grandson of Christy Black, Joel Andre Antunez, who was born on March 19th with some health issues, including Spina Bifida and fluid build up in his brain.  The doctors did surgery on his spine 3/20/13, which went well, and are doing surgery today regarding the fluid build up in his brain.  Please pray Joel's surgery today will also go well, with no complications, and pray for peace and comfort for his parents, Christy & Hector Antunez.  Also pray for Christy (Black) as she is trying to care for their other three children, and continue to work, while Joel is in the hospital.

Your steadfast love reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness reaches to the clouds; your righteousness is like majestic mountains and your wisdom like the depths of the sea—and you come to me!

Because I know that I am not too small for your notice, I know this newborn babe is also in your sight. Lord, he has begun life with some very serious defects, and today doctors are attempting to relieve the fluid on his brain. Please guide the hands of the surgeons and keep little Joel safe. Bring him through this ordeal and be with him as he heals. His parents must be beside themselves with worry; I pray that they can trust you and rest in that trust. I ask you to give the children's grandmother, Christy, stamina, endurance, kindness, and patience for the task of taking care of Joel's siblings while the parents remain at his bedside. Use this ordeal to glorify your name, Lord, and receive the worship our trust in you offers. In Jesus' name, amen.
