I’m asking everyone to please start a prayer chain for my family and especially for 11-year-old Zace.
My cousin’s son, Zace, is only 11 years old. He suffered a severe brain bleed and had to undergo brain surgery.
But I have faith that Zace is healing. I believe in the power of prayer, and I believe in a God who performs miracles.
I say that because I have witnessed firsthand what God can do when a situation seems medically hopeless. My sister-in-law was declared brain dead, and for a week we were told that she would never wake up. Yet today, she is awake. She walks. She talks. I have seen with my own eyes that circumstances can look impossible and God can move in ways no one expected.
That is why I refuse to give up hope for Zace. Doctors have knowledge and experience that we should respect, but they do not determine what God is capable of doing.
So, family and friends, I want to encourage all of us right now to guard our hearts and our words and to seek God with everything we have.
I know what the doctors are saying is terrifying, and I know emotions are running high. But as believers, this is the very moment when we need to remember who our hope is in. We can listen carefully to the doctors and believe that God is able to do what medicine cannot do.
Jesus said:
“Have faith in God… Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed… and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe… he shall have whatsoever he saith… What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them.”
— Mark 11:22–24
Right now, there is a mountain in front of this family.
Instead of speaking hopelessness over Zace, I am asking everyone who believes in the power of prayer to speak faith, pray for mercy, pray for healing, pray for life, and pray for complete restoration.
Scripture tells us:
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
— Proverbs 18:21
That doesn't mean we pretend this situation isn't serious. It means we should be careful not to allow fear and despair to become the only things coming out of our mouths.
“I believed, and therefore have I spoken.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:13
And:
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised.)”
— Hebrews 10:23
James tells us:
“And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up.”
— James 5:15
This is the time to pray earnestly.
This is the time to call upon God together.
This is the time to ask Him for healing and believe that He is able.
God said:
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”
— Jeremiah 32:27
And Luke 1:37 reminds us:
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Psalm 103:2–3 says:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.”
None of us knows what God is going to do, and none of us controls the outcome. But we can choose how we respond.
We can choose faith over despair.
We can choose prayer over panic.
We can choose hope over hopelessness.
We can keep seeking God even when everything we see tells us to be afraid.
Philippians 4:6–7 says:
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God… shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
So I'm asking everyone who reads this to please stop for a moment and pray for Zace.
Pray for the bleeding to stop.
Pray for the pressure and swelling to come down.
Pray for every part of his brain and body that has been injured to heal.
Pray for life and restoration.
Pray for wisdom for every doctor, surgeon, and nurse caring for him.
Pray for strength and peace for his parents and family.
Pray for a miracle.
And please share his name with your church, your prayer group, your family, and anyone else who believes in the power of prayer. Let's build a prayer chain around this 11-year-old boy.
When fear comes, remember:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1
We are not ignoring the seriousness of what is happening. We are putting our faith in a God who is greater than what we can see right now.
Please keep praying.
Keep believing.
Keep seeking Him.
Keep praying for Zace.
“Pray without ceasing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:17
🙏 Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before You asking for mercy for Zace. Lord, he is only 11 years old, and he desperately needs Your touch. We ask You to reach into that hospital room and touch him from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
We ask You to stop the bleeding. Reduce the swelling and pressure. Protect his brain from further injury. Restore what has been damaged. Bring healing, life, and restoration where the doctors see no hope.
Give every doctor, surgeon, and nurse supernatural wisdom as they care for him. Give his parents and family strength when they have none left. Surround them with Your peace and Your presence.
Lord, we know that nothing is too hard for You. We are asking boldly for healing. We are asking for restoration. We are asking for a miracle.
And through everything, may Your presence fill that hospital room and may Your will be done.
In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. 🙏
PLEASE PRAY FOR ZACE. ❤️🙏
