Pray for Seth
For more than twenty years, Seth led choirs, taught music, and sat down at the piano and made rooms full of people feel something. Right now he is fighting lymphoma, and he is on life support. He needs a miracle, and we believe in a God who still works them. So we are praying around the clock, and we are asking everyone who loves Seth to pray with us. Please leave him a note. We will read every one of them to him.

“I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord.”

Notes for Seth
Leave him a few words, a prayer, or a memory.
My brother Seth, I am saddened to hear of your illness. I so enjoyed sharing music alongside of you and knowing that we both had the same goal in life. You are appreciated and bring to mind good memories. I am praying for you as you are in this physical battle. May the Holy Spirit draw close to you.
Seth, you’re the reason I minister through music today. You gave me a duet with an amazing singer-Shout out to Junior- and I was terrified to sing alone in front of an audience. But you pushed me and said I could do it. Through the years being involved in music ministries all over, I’ve been able to minister to others in a powerful way. Thank you. I’m praying for you. 💛
I remember your favorite type of massage—the Communion footbath. “O, when shall I see Jesus and reign with Him above, And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning?”
Dear brother Seth, I still remember the Weimar experience and the beautiful music you brought to all for the glory of God! I am praying for you!
Heavenly Father, may your healing hand be on Seth and may your angels surround him. We pray for a miracle that will be for your glory! I pray that one day soon, you will be able to give Him glory again through the piano. May your will be done, amen. Mr. Lucas, I have many memories of vocal lessons, trips across the world, but one of my dearest ones that has been close to my heart was when the world seemed to be upside down that one choir concert many moons ago. My estranged father was coming to town and I just didn’t know what on earth to think. You had words of comfort and support that encouraged me so much and I don’t think I ever thanked you for that. May God bless you! 🙏
How many special memories I have of you my favourite birthday twins. Seeing you in your knees asking me that all important question... if I would help chaperone the weimar academy girls on a choir trip! You playing we shall beholding him, as a for the Rosenberg family - a private beautiful concert for Jennifer who was also very ill. You have touched many hearts and we are all remembering you now and many if us are holding you up before the throne of Grace. Praying you will be healed...quickly and completely.
Brother Seth, thank you very much for your encouragement during my time in choir. At this time, may you feel your best friend Jesus, so close to you. May He bring you healing! I am truly praying for you!
Hey buddy, we just texted a few days ago, and now I hear this! I really hope you will be able to read all these wonderful messages and prayers from your friends and family. You’ve been a good friend, and I hope and actually know that I will see you again! If not here, then in heaven and the earth made new. God bless you, dear brother 🙋🏽♂️🩵🙏🏼🎼
I have so many wonderful memories of weekly song services at Sacramento Central. People from around the world loved hearing you play. I couldn’t help but smile when you went to town on those keys. I’ve been on a work trip in Fiji this past week, but I’ve been making sure I knew what was happening in your situation. Please keep fighting. The world needs you!
Praise God for your gift of music, that blessed my heart each time you played while at Hartland College, for the choir, chapels, and many concerts. I am ever grateful for your instructions also in Hydrotherapy and Massage classes that inspired me to help others in a simple, but powerful way, by God’s grace! Through the power of the Holy Spirit we are praying for your restoration and recovery as God wills, because God’s name has and will continue to be glorified by your life of faithful service! To God be the glory, and God’s richest blessings! In Jesus name we pray! Amen
Dear Heavenly Father. I lift up my brother Seth to you. I place him in your hands. We pray for a miracle according to your will and tender mercies. Please, save him, and heal him. We know you are a compassionate God who hurts when llevé hurt, and it is to your love that we appeal. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen
I am so grateful for the time I was at Ouachita Hills under your inspiration for music with the choir and personal voice lessons which have since unlocked my voice in a special way it was not before! I was always so blessed by your playing piano also and your love for the Lord. Praying and I know and trust I will see you in Heaven and join you in the celestial choir😇🤍🙏
You came to OHC and you made a difference in my life. You taught me piano which was my dream to learn and you instructed us in choir. You always inspired me to strive for excellence and the passion you have for music was always made clear. You have a talent and a passion that inspires. We are praying for you, thank you for being a light in this world!
Hi Seth, praying for your soon recovery. You have been a blessing to both Sharon and I. God has amazing plans for you. I hope to see and hear from you soon. - Josh and Sharon
Praying!! Your work at Hartland was not in vain. Thank you for your heart of service ✨
Great memories of our time at Weimar. Praying for you!
Seth, Choir was my all time favorite class in high school. I believe majority of us that had the honor of having you as our choir director feel the same. Never have I experienced music like those good ol’ days. I am sorry for the times, the many times, I messed up. Thank you for showing me what a taste of heaven is like here on Earth. Truly. Our family is praying for you. We are interceding for you and “lowering” you down from the roof to Jesus feet. May God grant you peace and comfort. May God fill your heart with encouragement, whatever the outcome, that you have lead so many to God, that you have used the talents given to you wisely and multiplied it. Oh how we love you!
Father God, I lift up this precious child of Yours, and brother of mine in You; not even this battle is too big for You, and we know You are the Great Physician. We know You know best and while You created us to live forever, this world is sick and we encounter disease. In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke this lymphoma, and claim the promise that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We trust Your will and that the healing will come at the appointed time. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Seth, praying for your recovery. I have such good memories from all 4 years being taught choir from you at Weimar academy. I'm praying for your health and for peace. So many people love you! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. You've inspired and impacted many lives.
Seth, I am joining with those calling on Jesus to bring you courage, relief, and if He in His grace and wisdom sees fit, complete healing. 1Peter 5:6
Seth, you are in my prayers. Words cannot express how you’ve touched my life, how you’ve led others to experience Heaven on earth through music. You are loved and we are praying for you.
Sending God’s love and grace in your time of need
You don’t know me but I’m praying for you.
Hi Seth. You were my choir director at Weimar Academy. I look back on those memories fondly. Those years in choir gave me an appreciation for choir music today. On another note, I’ve never had a peanut butter pie as good as yours.
Heavenly Father unto You we turn in intercession for Seth. Look upon Your servant and child and show mercy upon him. Send the Holy Spirit of God into Seth and provide him with all of his needs according to Your wisdom and mercy. If it is according to Your will and it pleases You to do so bring miraculous healing and restoration of health unto Seth. This to Your glory and praises. Anoint his spirit and consecrate him to belong to Your Son Jesus Christ unto salvation. Remind Seth that he is infinitely loved by You. In Jesus’ name I pray 🙇🏽🙇🏽🙇🏽
Dear God, Please gently hold Mr. Lucas’ hands — hands that inspired us through music, acts of kindness, and lessons in health. You knew every part of his body and You have the best plans for him. Please let him feel he is remembered in prayers by the people whose lives were touched by his presence including mine. Let your warm embrace make him feel secured. Amen.
I don’t even come close to how beautifully you play the piano. God has given you an amazing talent that you have never been hesitant to use for Him. I am praying that the Great Physician will raise you up so that you continue to fulfill His purpose.
Even though we haven’t talked much over the years, I always considered you one of my best friends. I always treasure the fun times we had during choir and work, planning trips and practicing together. Victor and I love you very much and our prayers for you are that you will be healed to continue your ministry wherever God leads you. Of course, we know that whatever happens we will meet you again, if not on this earth, but on the the sea of glass with Mrs B and all of our choir and friends from over the years. Thank you for always being my friend. For the many hours of fun piano playing and for taking care of me when I was sick. Thank you for your caring and thoughtful heart. For sharing your love of music with your students through choir and piano and voice. For teaching me how to play better by ear. I love you! Lord, I pray that your healing hand would be upon Seth, that he would be granted time to continue your work through his work as a nurse and through music wherever you would have him be. I pray that he would not be in pain, that the sickness would leave his body. And that the doctors and nurses who are treating him would treat him well, and do their best. Most of all, that everyone who meets him in the hospital would see you working in his life. I pray for Seths family that they would feel your comfort and love during this stressful time and lean on you. In Jesus Precious and Holy Name, knowing that You hear and answer according to Your Will and in Your Time, we ask this. Amen.
Dear Seth, I am in shock that you are so sick! And I am praying that God will Grant you healing- now and in eternity. Thank you for being a good friend! I so enjoyed our dinners and walks together. You are a friend who cares. Praying, praying!
Thank you Seth for sharing your gift of music to so many young people, congregations, and to my family personally. Your ministry touched so many lives! We will keep praying for you.
Seth, you are one of my favorite memories of Weimar. You convinced me to do bell choir and I insisted that it was a bad idea and you said anyone could do it…after holding my hand to help me do it you eventually agreed that maybe not everyone could actually get rhythm. Your piano playing is beautiful, and had I ever had an actual wedding I would have asked you to play. I am praying for you.
Thank you Seth for 7 years of working alongside of you in choral directing. Thank you for remaining a friend and for going out of your way to attend my concerts even if my choir was singing in a small church several hours away from you. Thank you for introducing me to a method of vocal coaching which has enhanced my work as a music educator. Thank you for pushing me to resurrect my own piano skills. You are the voice in my head on so many musical issues. Thank you for hours of recorder duets in the choir van, sudoku lessons, audio books, exploring hiking trails together, your enjoyment of great food, attending concerts together, especially that Rach #2 piano concert at the Kennedy center, for your listening ear, and sympathtic heart. Thank you for being there for my medical emergency (and for bringing me french fries in the ICU). Seth, I want you well, I also want to do music with you for eternity. I go to sleep praying for you and wake up praying for you. You will always be my brother from another mother.
Dear Lord, please be with Mr Lucas. He has been a such a blessing to so many of us. Please care for him during this terrible time and most importantly we want to hear him play in heaven. Even more than his body, please care for his soul and bring us all again together in that wonderful land where there will be no sorrow and we can hear Mr Lucas' soul thrilling music again! But as long as you have him here, please watch out for him, take away his pain and heal him we pray. Amen.
We are praying for you. May the Lord give you strength and peace in this difficult times. We deeply appreciate what you have done for our ministry.
Hello Seth, you and Raul are such positive fixtures in my young life memories. I can still hear your contagious laugh and see your beautiful smile in my minds eye. It was such a treat to learn from you in piano class and choir. It’s as if the rooms you played piano in brought a hush here on earth because the angels would sing along when you play. Just a few short months ago I was in the ER/ICU fighting for my life. I know what it feels like to hear people around you and not be able to respond. Our bodies are designed to heal. And they respond to vibrations and frequencies. So I am infusing my prayers with the vibrations of gratitude and joy over you. I’m remembering your spirit with warmth in my chest and envisioning you in full restored health! There are so many people speaking life over you while you rest right now. You are loved. You are a gift. You are whole. I am grateful for you. And for some reason Mrs B keeps coming to my mind while I write this. You two were sure special to on
Hi Seth. I’m trying to remember the first time I met you…and for some strange reason I can’t remember now (I guess that’s what happens when time passes after so long). But I remember, when I asked you who was gonna sing the part for a special music at Sacramento Central Church and you pulled me by the shirt and said, “you are” and immediately there I was standing up front trying my best to make God and you proud. Sometimes I would come by the ad building and knock on your door just to talk and you wouldn’t open the door all the way because your room was so filled with the sheet music scattered everywhere. But I didn’t care…I just wanted to pick your brain and talk with you. Other times you would raise one eyebrow at me because I had frustrated you and other times you would laugh and smirk and say, “yeah…no” You may not realize this Seth, but you were and still are such an integral part of so many lives. Not just your music, but who you were as a person. Either way, Seth my family are praying for you day and night. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. May you find peace. And always remember: all you have to do is say Jesus’ name and He will come and help you. He’s always there.
We are lifting you up in prayer, you have touched so many peoples lives, may Gods healing hands be upon you.
Our church is praying for you Seth! You have been a blessing to me and so many people. Praying for your recovery.
