Tuesday, September 13, 2011  – Gary Bauer writes: My good friend Dr. James Dobson is in the hospital recovering from multiple bone fractures after falling off a horse while on vacation. His daughter, Danae, says he’s doing well and, thankfully, suffered no serious complications. Please remember Dr. Dobson, and his wife, Shirley, in your prayers in the days ahead.

Let us pray…Father God in heaven.  Thank You for preserving Dr. Dobson’s life in the immediate fall from a horse.  He is not a young man and he is going to need Your Help in recovering.  He has served You most every day of his life in good faith. We need millions more like him.  Heal him in the name of Jesus.  Also, be with his wife, Shirley, who has headed up the National Day of Prayer for years and years, and his entire family, Danae who we have known as a young child.  We have known about Danae, her energy, her zest for life and strong willed-ness through Dr. Dobson’s wonderful books.  We have all loved Dr. Dobson and his family for years.  We know You love him more.  Preserve his health, ease the pain, and give him many more good years of faithful and active ministry, for he has always been an activist for the causes You, O Lord, espouse. In Jesus’ name, we pray.  Amen.
