God can perform open heart surgery! He did it to my heart some 28 years ago. I was the woman at the well. I was the selfish, unloving, narcissistic, money hungry, unengaged Pharisee. My addictions were not drugs and alcohol (although I used them as an excuse for bad behavior at times) but the ugly in my life ran deep.
And He changed all of that. Because he is the God of open heart surgery. And he took my stony heart and turned it to a heart of flesh. In his perfect timing. Because I didn't want to lose everything.
And He can do that in a blink with our loved one.
Confident this is coming, in His perfect timing.
February 15, 2019 Our Prayer for our Loved One Today:
Ezekiel 36:26-28 NIV [26] I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. [28]...you will be my people, and I will be your God.
Lord, we come before you this morning knowing that you are the great physician. Lord, you took our pain and our infirmities and nailed them on the cross with you. Lord, I pray today that you will perform "open heart surgery" on (our loved one). Lord, we pray today that you will give (our loved one) a new heart and put a new spirit in (him/her).

Lord, we ask that you put a new spirit in (our loved one) and move (our loved one) to follow your decrees and desire to keep you laws. Lord, we look forward to the day when (our loved one) comes back to you and (he/she) will be your people again and you will be (his/her) God! We are confident in your perfect plan for (his/her) life. We ask this in your Son's precious name! Amen!
