Prayer request
today | Fighting Irish

Posted on 12/26/2009 7:05:32 AM PST by Fighting Irish

After over a decade of hanging here, picking up other prayer requests I must post one of my own.

My wife and I have taken in two grandchildren (2 and 5) after the death of their father and eventual abandonement by their mother who has been overwhelmed by one medical condition over another.

She called this morning half way around the country with news that she is once again hospitalized, this time with conjestive heart failure and would like to home to see her children while she can.

This is difficult on so many levels and only a mighty and loving God can sort through the noise and bring peace into it.

Pray for Cathy, her children and an outcome that brings glory to God!

Thank you in advance!

mike

May the Lord grant you the wisdom you seek, Mike ... through Direct Revelation, pastoral counseling, Christian lawyer ... but I claim for you and your family Proverbs 3:5-6 ~ “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

I love Psalm 138, especially the last couple verses:
“Tho’ I walk in the midst of trouble the Lord will revive me. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me; Thy lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Thy hands.”
Family stuff will do it to you, won’t it. I will pray.

Thank you for being an example of TRUE charity, rather than the contrived charity we see on TV.

Blessings for your family.
