Dear Lord, please bless trebb’s wife Ruby and son Dan as they undergo these hard times in their earthly lives.
Please bless them with the understanding that the earthly may decay, even cruelly, but that what is heavenly will stand forever and ever, including redeemed souls.
Please bless their lives so that the way they carry on even in the middle of the devil’s attack on the flesh like this, they would show the Spirit in an astonishing way to the watching world. And may this begin a chain of witness whose effects will be so visible in the world, that this seemingly senseless suffering will have meant more than anyone on earth ever guessed.
And if possible in Your mercy, may even this earthly disease suddenly be arrested for a testimonial miracle in itself.
I pray unto and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Beautiful in the simple straightforwardness of it. It reminds me that Jesus gave us the Lord’s Prayer and it is simple and complex at the same time. Give glory to God the Father - ask him to guide and provide for us - ask Him to shield us from Evil - and bookend it with glory to Him again -— and it leaves room for much thought and meditation.
