God is With Us

Prayer Warriors,

The Lord is filling our hearts with praise because our confidence is set on Christ even though our circumstance leaves us wanting.  We depend on Him, so we don't busy ourselves with anxious scenarios or schemes to bust Anna out of the hospital.

We are on our second day of inpatient treatment at the hospital for Anna's latest illness. She remains on oxygen and is sleeping lots. There has been a surprising development because Anna is not responding to the steroids. They cannot seem to put their finger on why Anna isn't improving while in the hospital.The docs don't think she has an infection but they cannot think of what else to try so we will try antibiotics this afternoon. The doctors suggest that maybe there are lacerations in her throat from too much coughing. Thankfully we know that the oxygen itself has been a benefit. I rest knowing that God knows exactly what's wrong with Anna.

So while we wait we read, sing, and pray. I read Joshua 1 about courage and strength through trust and obedience to God's Word. Lindsey sang "we're on our way to grandpa's farm." about ten times to Anna. But join us in prayer

Pray:

-That God would teach us and equip us through this.

-For the ailment of Anna to be found so we can have a plan for betterment

-For strength for Anna and comfort

-That Lindsey and Anna can get good sleep at the hospital

-For wisdom regarding my work schedule and care for simon.

I leave you with a chunk that was so sweet to me this morning:

"17 But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
18 Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!
19 Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!  - Psalm 80:17-19"

Its all about Jesus,

Nic, Lindsey, Anna and Simon
