Prayer request for Daddy of 5

Posted on 09/10/2005 4:27:33 PM PDT by TruthSetsUFree

I'd like to ask for prayer for my brother-in-law (Dennis, age 36) who was just this week diagnosed with leukemia. This has come as quite a shock to all of us. He had been feeling tired lately (for 3 weeks or so) and went to the doctor on Tuesday, but none of us suspected this.

He has five children - ages 12, 10, 8, 6 and 15 mos. He's married to my younger sister.

The type of leukemia he has is called acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a very aggressive form but it also responds very well to treatment. Please pray that the cancer will not grow rapidly nor spread to other parts of his body, and that treatment will go well and be successful, if that's the Lord's will for him.

Thanks so much for lifting him, my sister, their children, and the rest of our family up in prayer. My sister feels like she needs to be two people right now in two different places (in the hospital with her husband and at home for her children). Right now we're doing our best to care for her children so she can concentrate on Dennis and his recovery.

Thanks so much for your prayers!

My hope is that I will be able to retain what I have learned through this, remaining grateful for so much that God gives, and not slip back into taking everything for granted when life fully returns to normal.

I rejoice with Dennis, his family, you, and all who have lifted petition with praise to God our Father in Christ Jesus for the relief and the goodness of restoration, for the testimony and the turning back to God that has been brought from these trials, and join with Dennis in his hope that gratefulness and praise and rejoicing will always, ever abound in him and through him to the Glory of the Truly Worthy One, amen. The Lord God Almighty is always worthy of praise (Habakkuk 3:17-18)!

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness,
those that remember Thee in Thy ways.
(Behold, Thou art wroth,
for we have sinned.)
In those is continuance,
and we shall be saved.
Isaiah 64:5
