Prayers for our dearest Friend Dubya

Prayers up my FRiend, nothing is to big for HIM to remove. We pray oh, Lord, Father of us all that you will remove this cancer from our dear, dear, friend. Earthly doctors may give up, but we know YOU are the most powerful physician in the universe and nothing is beyond Your power. In the name of Your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Sweet Polly, my Heart is So Grateful to our Lord for His Tender Mercies to Marilyn; He is a Wonderful Savior! Hugs!

Dear Jaycee, Misti and her Family are in my Prayers, and I'm So Sorry for all they are all Going Through.
Lifting them, with Love, to our Caring and Merciful King.

"I’m so glad that she was able to communicate her desires."

I agree Polly. When they can indicate what they want and don't want, it makes it easier on the family, not having to make those decisions.

I do hope your sister Marilyn is resting peacefully and not in pain. God Bless her and you, Polly.

[jaycee]

This is so sweet, Dubya. I think I will copy that and share with others. I pray you are having comfortable days and not too much pain, as you indicated the other day. You are still in my daily prayers, dear friend.

Throw The Book At Him
August 11, 2011

Things were off to a great start for Jesus at the beginning of His ministry. In Matthew 3, He was baptized and heard the affirming words of His Father, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (v.17). But then things took a turn for the worse.

What happened next—Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness—was not a mere coincidence. The Holy Spirit led Him into this face-off between the powers of heaven and hell. Thankfully, Jesus’ victory in the face of temptation provides a great example when we find ourselves in the wilderness of Satan’s sinister seductions.

Notice that the tempter caught Jesus at a time when He was tired and hungry. Satan uses the same tactic with us. Waiting for those vulnerable moments, he lures us with the bait of seductive suggestions that offer quick relief and opportunities for self-advancement. When facing such challenges, it’s important to follow Jesus’ example—throw “the Book” at Satan! Jesus responded to temptation by quoting Scripture: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4; see Deut. 8:3). The Bible is full of verses about lust, greed, lying, and other sins. If we tuck them away in our memory, we can use them when under attack. It’s our best chance for success!

If we never faced the tempter
With his sharp and fiery sting,
We would never know the victory
That our trust in God can bring. —Robert

When Satan strikes, strike back with the Word of God.

Read: Matthew 4:1-11

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. —Matthew 4:1

Bible in a year:
Psalms 81-83; Romans 11:19-36

Every one who post to Amy's finds great pics or graphics. It is my most heart felt prayer for our dear FRiend. I lost both my parents to the big C.
