Strength, Comfort, Rest

Trusting Mom will be home for her Birthday – healing, is the Hope that we have.  Right now my mom needs Prayer Warriors to rise up and request of the Lord to work a miracle that she will not need pain medication.

The medication dosage needed to provide relief to her agonizing bones tears up her stomach.  Even at total health my mom was hesitant to take ibuprofen because it reacted uncomfortably with her stomach.  Please request of God to work a miracle for her to rest comfortably without further abrasion to her body so she can heal.

It is also my prayer that she will be able to rest comfortably with the humidifier on her face to help her breathe.  Her mouth and throat are dry from the Chemo, and although the humidified air would help, she doesn’t like the tubes, and elastic that is constantly stuck to her.

Seeing her discomfort is crushing to my spirit, but even in suffering, Mom remains strong.  In surrender she said today, “Just tell me what I have to do so I can go home.”

Just rest mom, rest and let God heal you, he accepts our prayers, and has heard our cry for mercy.

2 Be merciful to [Irene], LORD, for [she is] faint;
O LORD, heal [her], for [her] bones are in agony.
3 [Her] soul is in anguish.
How long, O LORD, how long?
4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver [Irene];
save [her] because of your unfailing love.
5 No one remembers you when he is dead.
Who praises you from the grave?
6 [We are] worn out from groaning;
all night long [we] flood [our] bed(s) with weeping
and drench [the] couch with tears.
7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow…
9 The LORD has heard [our] cry for mercy;
the LORD accepts [our] prayer(s).
Psalm 6:2-7,9
11 Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.
12 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced.
I Chronicles 16:11-12

AMEN
