Scripture & Prayer

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageious: do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Remind me, God, that you are with me this moment, and fill the empty rooms of my fearfulness--You, who said: "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

A very, very dear friend of mine has been coughing up blood. Her test revieled a nodule on her lung. She went for more test and they called back up, with not so good news. And she woke up at 1:30 this morning coughing up even more blood. This person is extremely dear to my heart, not only as a freind, but as an extended family memeber. She is my SIL's sister. Please pray for dear Mary, lift her up for healing. Does this disease ever end??? It seems that every time I turn around someone I love, someone I know is fighting or has died from one form or another of cancer. It seems to be an on going thing, to hear, get a report of someone who in the family or extended family has cancer. Or of a friend. Rich has an aunt in Joilet going through chemo & radiation treatment as we speak. It just at times seems so, so overwhelming.

Lord, please heal Mary if it is in your will. If not comfort her, comfort her family. Her children her siblings, her grandchildren. Give Mary & them the strength to face each day and each long night as it comes Lord. Mary is a child of yours, her faith is strong, keep it strong, keep her strong. I KNOW all things are possible through you Lord. I ask that your will be done. In the Lord name I pray. Amen.
