 I talked to a good friend in El Dorado today. He can make you laugh at the drop of a hat. After telling him my problems he said, “Well, it’s been great knowing you”. That may not sound funny or appropriate under the circumstances, but coming from James it was hilarious and gave me a good laugh for the day.
     Someone Billy works with sent home a prayer that he said the Lord had given him for me last night. It was very touching and I’m going to end today’s blog with the prayer. 

“Father in heaven, we thank you for you continual grace & mercy in our lives.

We praise You for all that You’ve done for us.

We thank You for the privilege of  working for Your kingdom. 

Father we believe in Your word & the work of your Son Jesus Christ.

In His name we ask for strength & blessings upon Bill & Mary.

We know You are with them & in them and we speak Your word by faith that

‘By His stripes we were healed’.

We rest in the completed work of Jesus, knowing our lives are in Your hands. 

Father, we ask for a special anointing upon doctors, nurses & staff,

that they be guided by Your will.

We speak peace over Mary & comfort.

Let her realize that You’re in control.

May the whole family be touched by the

'Peace that passes understanding’, and be strengthened by  the Comforter.

We receive Your strength today.

Lord, and submit to Your will.

We present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy & acceptable unto You

In Jesus name. Amen"

     How touching those words are coming from a godly man of faith. Thank you, Mike. I will be reading that prayer many times over the next few months. God bless you.
