Health Matters

I have four dear friends on my heart today Lord.

One is well on the way to recovery but she is in a hurry. She has walked a difficult path with her health in recent years, and she is on the mend, she's just not mending quickly enough for her liking. Help her to trust that her health lies in your hands and that when she has a set back its time to listen to her body and stop pushing herself. I pray for a steady recovery for her and thank you so much for the influence she has had over me. I only pray that I can offer the same comfort.

Kath weighs heavily on my heart Lord. She has had an extremely difficult couple of years with her marriage, her kids and her health. She seems to have herself stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment and is struggling to help herself out of it. I pray that you can give her some direction in her life and give her something to be joyful about to help her out of the well of self pity that she at times dwells in.

And Joanie. I pray healing for her Lord. She has endured so much during her life and she is such a blessing to others. I pray that her body can be as strong as her heart.

Lastly, my sister in law. She doesn't know you but I pray that you will watch over her as she has her operation this week. I pray that they find nothing sinister and that her health is restored. I also pray for her marriage Lord, that it can be restored as well and they can both forgive and start to communicate. There is still love there but also a lot of hurt, I pray healing for both of their hearts.

These dear friends I leave at your feet Lord.
Amen.

Precious Lord... How I thank you for the heart of my dear friend and sister in Christ, Sharon. May she experience your love in a fresh new way. Give her eyes to see the depth of her love for You. May she know that she has wisdom to share with others and is a gift to those who are blessing her life. Thank you for watching over this lovely child that belongs to you. Help her to see she is the "apple of your eye"; a "daddy's girl", even with all the faults and shortcomings she sees in her life (we all fall so short). You see us through the eyes of Jesus and love us completely. Please provide for this precious family's every need. Please give them peace regarding their finances and give them signs that you are in control of their livelihood and please may your grace rain upon them (in spirit and in reality ~ please break this drought, Lord). May you bless them to be a blessing to others and may they be a light in their farming community and around the world! I pray that Sharon will keep her eyes on You, Jesus, and look neither to the left or the right for You have every answer she needs. Please comfort and provide for those closest to her ~ friends and family. May Sharon be a beacon of light and hope to those around her. Thank you, Jesus.
