As many are gathered at his bedside, may they take the positions of angels constantly seeking your face for his healing and for the strengthening of their own faith during what seems like a time of uncertainty. Let this be a time when family and friends gather together to fill his hospital room with the good memories they&#8217;ve shared with Gary and may that outpouring of fond memories and positivity be a healing force around him. We believe you are a sovereign God who has full control over every situation, so we release this into your fully capable hands. We trust in your will and ask for your will to be done because only you know what is best. Whatever&nbsp;happens, we ask that it be well with our souls. That we may walk in confidence that you do all things well and that you are with us at all times and always.
