Please pray I find peace in my life. The last six weeks have been filled with so much sadness. End of October my husband was hospitalized with complications of diabetes. He is getting better but it takes time. And many trips to wound care. Then my oldest child with multiple health issues got covid. He seems better but it seems to be lingering. Then mid November my mother was hospitalized with sepsis. I made the ride everyday to go see her. She was moved to hospice and passed away on Thanksgiving. I am grateful I was by her side. Three days later my brother in law passed away from cancer. Three days after that my daughter miscarried her first pregnancy. In between all this sadness I have to clean and empty my mothers apartment. I am physically unable to do it so I must hire which gets pricey. Then my oven went (its only a year old). And now my car engine. On top of all this, Social Security sent me a letter they are reviewing my disabilty. I just started receiving it last year. And am still 4 years away from retirement age. Please pray I find some peace. This whirlwind is taking a physical and mental toll on me.

Praying
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.”
Isaiah 43:2
Ping!
Dear God, be with mouse1 as she walks this difficult path. Help her to hand over her burdens to You while she accepts the peace that You have given to Your children. May Your word be a lamp unto her feet and a light unto her path (Psalm 119:105).
God, may you be glorified in all you do for her and her family. In Christ’s name we pray for mouse1 and her family.
Amen.
I’m so sorry for your losses. I am praying for you to have strength and for everything to get better for you and your family.
Sounds like a repeat of the afflictions that came upon Job!
God has promised that the flood will not drown you and that the fire will not burn you - for HE is there in the troubles WITH you.
Emmanuel: GOD with us.
There are a bunch of verses I could repeat; many pertinent platitudes I could type, but I'd probably be repeating what others have done.
Just know my prayers ARE with you in this time of fear, discouragement and not being able to see the future.
But remember, GOD sees the future and the outcome and HE is not surprised.
David could rely upon his previous deliveries from both the paw of the bear and of the lion when he went against Goliath.
Do not doubt, in the darkness - what GOD has taught you, in the Light.
Thanks, Lupie!
Prayers for you and your family at this difficult time !
“Do not doubt, in the darkness - what GOD has taught you, in the Light.”
Amen. Amen.
Thank you for your prayers and kind words. I am truly grateful.
