Please join the IFI staff, board of directors and me in praying for U.S. Senator Mark Kirk. As you probably have heard, he suffered a stroke over the weekend, leading to surgery on Monday to relieve pressure on his brain.

While doctors are optimistic about the likelihood of Senator Kirk making a full mental recovery, they are more guarded about the possibility of a full physical recovery. We know that he is in the hands of the Great Physician with whom all thing are possible.

Please pray that God will restore Senator Kirk to good health and that the senator will be drawn closer to his Creator and Savior Jesus Christ. God does not allow these things to happen without a purpose. So let us pray for Senator Kirk’s physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
