Prayer Request for Mac

Mac is having some health issues and he needs our prayers. Melissa has asked that we pray for healing, wisdom for his doctors and comfort for Mac. Here's what Melissa wrote in the 'What's Going On' section in case you want more details:

"Mac had to have surgery to remove a kind of abscess, but because of something it is touching they couldn't do it. He may have to be sent to Germany for the surgery which could potentially have some pretty severe side effects. So please pray for healing, for wisdom for the doctors, and for him being so far from home and going through this all alone. Thanks!"

Almighty God, we know you are in control of all things. We also know that you are the Great Physician able to heal anything. We pray that you would heal Mac. We also pray you would make your presence known to him in tangible ways. Thank you for answering our prayers.
Amen.

Also, please pray for Melissa, Tre and Maya. Melissa is getting over the flu and Tre and Maya have both been sick. Maya seems to be feeling better, but Tre is running fever and experiencing some of the same symptoms Melissa had earlier this week.
