Please keep my brother in prayer

I have an older brother who has not been in church for many years. He has been a recovering alcoholic for about 20 years. He has been a smoker for many years and is overweight. Tonight his son took him to the ER with chest pains. The doctor confirmed that he had a heart attack and they are talking about doing a heart cath and have called in a cardiologist.
Pete has been baptized and was filled with the Holy Ghost many years ago but stopped going to church around 35+ years ago.
I would appreciate it if you would remember him in prayer.

Great and Almighty LORD GOD! We humbly ask that You would touch Bro.Mark's
brother. Speak to his heart and draw this brother once again by Your Spirit, in
Jesus Name. Let Him feel Your Divine Presence once again, and we thank You
for Your Mercy and what You will do for Pete, in Jesus Name!

jaxfam6, I am so sorry to hear this. I will be praying.

My Mom was a smoker (3+ packs a day) for 40 years. She was also an alcoholic for 36 years. Through much prayer and fasting, a little over 5 years ago, I was able to see my Mom come back to God!!!! She was INSTANTLY delivered from alcohol and cigarrettes!!! I KNOW God can do the same for Pete.

I am sharing this with you because I have faith the Lord can use this situation to draw your brother back to Him. It's my prayer that the Lord will stir up a hunger in your brother that only HE can satisfy. It is also my prayer that God will heal your brother, both body and spirit. In Jesus name, Sinatra

I am praying the same thing. Thank you. He has a tender heart toward things of God but does not give himself over to God. May God use this as a tool to draw him back to where he needs to be.

Jesus can take this opportunity and use if to good.
