Prayer Cover

So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working James 5:16

I am relying on your prayers more than you can imagine. I know that God hears each one of them, as I sense His presence and feel His peace in ways that are new and exciting. Thank you.

As an update, I am scheduled to have a lumpectomy and ancillary lymphnode dissection on Wednesday (I don't know the time yet) at Magee Hospital. Since many of you asked specifically how you can pray for me this week, I've come up with a list to help guide you.

1) Pray for my husband. He has shouldered so much of my burden, and he continues to do it with such courage and wisdom.

2) Pray for my kids, especially on Wednesday when I'm in surgery. Ask God to calm their anxious hearts. Cast out all fears. Give them the confidence in their Mighty God to pray big and expectantly.

3) Pray for the 14 week old baby inside me. Keep him safe from the effects of anasthesia and keep him safe from harm before, during, and after the surgery.

4) Pray for the surgeons and technicians during the surgery. Guide their hands, and provide wisdom to their decision making.

5) Ultimately, I pray for complete physical healing, resting on His promises, "Lo I am the Lord who heals you". Pray that the tumor will be removed easily and the lymphnodes will reveal little, if any cancer.

6) Pray that I'll withstand the anasthesia well and not become too nauseaus. And that the lymphnode port will not become infected in the weeks ahead.

My prayer for Wednesday and the subsequent weeks is from Psalm 40:

Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.

May it be so.
