Thoughts and prayers needed.

[dunfly]

Three years ago I was in the hospital with Gillian Barre Syndrome wondering if I would ever walk again. I was slipping into depression when I got an e-mail from Jay Brewington that changed everything. I wish I had saved it but here is the gist of it.

1. Listen to your doctors. They have spent their life training for this. Let them do their job.

2. Your friends and family want to help you. Let them.

3. Always be moving forward. Your goal is to get well. Stay focused on that goal and never waver.

This isn't as eloquent as Jay, but I think you get the idea. It changed everything for me. It was hard for me to rely on others, but I found that they really did want to help. I couldn't have made it without them. So, keep moving forward my friend. With a positive attitude, good friends and God's help, you can move mountains.

Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,
You are the One I turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with your servant in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to your servant. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness from his body.

Dear Lord, I ask you to turn this weakness into strength, suffering into compassion, sorrow into joy, and pain into comfort for others. May your servant trust in your goodness and hope in your faithfulness, even in the middle of this suffering. Let him be filled with patience and joy in your presence as he waits for your healing touch.

Please restore your servant to full health, dear Father. Remove all fear and doubt from his heart by the power of your Holy Spirit, and may you, Lord, be glorified through his life.

As you heal and renew your servant, Lord, may he bless and praise you.

All of this I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

[Paul]

To all. Mark is doing good, out of intensive care and should be home in a few days. Still some unanswered questions but all is looking up. Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers.
