Prayers requested during week of 3/03/02
All my longings lie open before You, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from You. My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away...I have become like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. I wait for you, O Lord; You will answer, O Lord my God. (Psalm 38:9-11, 14-15)
Heavenly Father, You know our hearts. You know our deep desires, the unquenchable thirsts, the yearnings that are never fulfilled, our hopes and dreams. You know how satan uses these things to subvert and cause us to despair even of life itself. But You, Mighty God, are always present, always in control. Many are looking to You today for guidance through the awful, crushing troubles in their lives. Hear their cries, Dearest Father, and do not let them despair any longer. Answer their pleas for help...as only You can. Return beloved family members to their homes unharmed, allow love to flourish freely where it has struggled to survive, released dear brothers and sisters from afflictions and addictions that have been tormenting them, send healing to broken hearts, minds and bodies. Protect us utterly from evil which seeks to destroy and separate us from Your constant love. Forgive our countless sins, Abba, and bless us with Your loving patience and guidance, and bring Your will to fruition without delay. Thank You, Father!
Of Jesus and in His precious name I have asked these things, for all who do and will believe. Amen!
GREAT NEWS, the doctors report that her cancer has been removed with surgery and it had not spread to her lymph nodes/glands.
Chemo will still be required but it may not be as bad as she first anticipated. She is a bit bummed that she may not lose all her hair tho.
Still awaiting results from the Mayo Clinic on some blood work.
The blood clots in her back are causing a lot of pain and discomfort sleeping and it seems there is nothing they can do but wait til they go away and a time frame is in weeks.
She will begin physical therapy this week to regain the use of her right arm which at present she has next to no use of.
She is so thankful of all the prayers and support she is getting and she can hardly wait to get back online to tear into the nasty liberals!
She wanted me to thank you all she will be back as soon as she can.
