AIBU to ask for your prayers?

So my lovely friend's son is currently in an emergency operation to save his life. He has not been well for a long time and he never complains and tries to be the most positive person he can be even though he is in pain. There is a massive history of 30 years of illness.His Mum is the kindest most giving person I have ever met and the whole family are lovely.
She has great faith and I have everyone I know praying for a positive outcome for him but if I could get hundreds of vipers behind him then I do believe the power of prayer could carry him through.
If you haven't prayed in a while even better - God rejoices when a lost sheep returns.
YABU: It will make no difference
YANBU: I will try for you as I believe/what harm can it do.

I haven't prayed for a long time OP but I've just said a wee one for your friend's son, and for his Mum.

I don’t pray, but am sending positive energy his way. 🩵🩵🩵

Prayer sent, thank you for doing this for your friend and her son. I believe Prayer goes where other interventions can't.

Thank you all amazing vipers. We are so very worried and honestly I cannot think of anything else to do but pray. I remembered a line from a hymn we sang at church:
" call out to the lord and the Lord will answer you, call out out and he will answer here I am"
Thank you all xx

when they started the surgery they realised the issue was not what they had thought - which is a positive. He is a bit better but may need more surgery. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers x

My prayers are with this lovely young man and the surgical team looking after him.
God is my strength and my refuge, an ever present help in trouble.

Thanks everyone.
I don't know what Hangry had to say and I don't really care.
The prayers that people gave are so appreciated and he is holding his own so thank you all x

I've prayed to Our Lady to intercede for him and your friend.
She will always pray for those who ask.

May they experience God's mercy and love at this time of struggle 🙏.
