Connecting Through Prayer

I confess that this morning my faith is being tested. You see, our daughter, our little girl who is no longer little or a girl, has a surgical biopsy this morning and I’m not with her. She says it’s no big deal, that the surgeon is removing the entire growth and then they will biopsy it. It may be skin cancer, maybe not. But this mama’s heart is beating fast in spite of the fact that I awakened with a prayer on my lips and praise playing now in the background. So, I am asking for all of you believers out there to join me in prayer for Hope (her name), that the surgeon can remove the tissue he needs to remove and that healing will be complete in Jesus’s Name.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. The surgery starts at 10:30 this morning (DST).

My verse to encourage me for the day. It’s hard to put into practice, but God calls us to practice what we tell others that they should be doing.

Will you join me in prayer today, specifically at the time of her surgery? Thank you in advance and God bless you for your faithful friendship.

Scripture Verses for Today

I seem to be all over the place with my devotionals lately. I’m reading about the sinful kings and then I’m reading about Paul’s preaching in Rome and then I move on to the book of Jonah and his reluctance to preach a salvation message to the Ninevites. What I got out of all of my reading today comes down to a few verses that I will share with you here.

A promise that I am clinging to

Singing praise songs is helping me during these days of isolation.

And finally, as I pray for the Lord to act on our behalf and to get rid of this plague and the unrest in the U.S., this verse was how he answered me. Nothing is ever too hard for Him, but then, I also have to wait for His timing.

So, that was my devotional for today. I hope that in some way these verses have spoken to your heart. Have a blessed and God-centered day!
