Divine Creator and Source of All Healing,

We lift John Winter to your loving care. We thank you for the hands that have guided us in worship, the heart that has felt every note, and the spirit that he has shared through the pipes and keys.

In this time of uncertainty and diagnosis, we ask for your divine guidance and strength. May your care surround John and guide the hands of his medical team, leading him toward recovery and comfort, so that we trust in your divine plan for healing.

Grant John the resilience of a great anthem. When he feels weary, surround him with the same peace he has so often provided for others through his music.

In the moments of fear or pain, let there be a "divine rest"—a pause in the music where he feels your presence most clearly, steadying his heart.

Let John feel the resonance of our love. May he know he is not walking this path alone, but upheld by a chorus of voices praying for his well-being and supported by our compassion.

May the music in his soul never dim, and may he soon return to the bench with a renewed song of thanksgiving.

Amen.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." — John 14:27
