Please pray for us today...



This morning at 10:55 am, my mom will be having two bilateral mastectomies. We have felt calm and peace from God already. But pray that the mastectomies will allow the two types of breast cancer to be eliminated from her body, that a nodule in her right lung would be nothing, and that her lymph nodes will be clear. Please pray for all the medical personnel involved...God is the Great Physician...He is Jehovah Rapha...our healer...He is Jehovah Jireh...our provider...we seek His will and hope to bring Him glory through all of this.

Romans 8: 31-39 (NLT) says,
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jen I totally know what you are feeling today and the days ahead. I also know that our soverign God is in total control. The doctors told us they didn't think Benny would live 2 years and it's been 6 years this month and he feels great and still going strong. He is a living example that only our Lord knows our future. Give it all to Him and He will give you strength you thought you would never have. Benny and I are praying for your whole family and Benny ask the choir yesterday to pray for all of you as well. That choir is a great praying bunch of people. We love you and will do anything we can to help. Please let us know anything we can do.

We will be praying for all of you, especially your Mom. Isaiah 26:3 has always been one of my favorite verses - “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee; because he trusteth in Thee.”

Praying that all will go according to God's will and that all will be to His glory. Wish we could be there along side you.
