Ron, both you and your wife are in my prayers... I am a staunch believer in the power of prayer as the father of daughter who has been fighting various forms of cancer for almost the last 5 years... we have not made it to one whole year of being cancer free yet, but I know that the prayers of my friends, especially here on this forum are at least partially responsible for her still being here to care for her three young sons as they grow up.
One of my favorite scriptures comes from the book of James 5:14-16
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
