“‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.’” Isaiah 55:8-9
Indeed, Lord, Your thoughts and ways are infinitely higher than mine. I’m always amazed at how You work in the midst of earthly circumstances. Throughout the last eight years (approximately) I have seen You order and regulate my many medications. The ones You wanted me to take, You made them possible for me to tolerate. The ones You did not want me to take, You overwhelmingly made it impossible for me to take. While depending on You to show me through the maze of the various gifts of poor health You have given me, I have seen You do mighty miracles of physical healing as well as mental and emotional healings. I have seen Your hand through it all and I praise You for Your great mercy and compassion in it all.
This time, Lord, is no exception. This new medication appears to be one that You are not going to make possible for me to take. I truly believe You are going to take me on to surgery to have a shunt put in my brain to relieve the pressure. Could I be wrong? Of course I could, but this is what seems to be Your plan. Your timing for the shunt is the only question that I have. It is a certainty that I will be having one put in, Lord. You have already made that clear to me. Thank You for Your peace and grace to have that done. May it be done in Your perfect timing, in Your perfect way and in Your perfect place with Your perfect neurosurgeon. I trust You, Lord, to walk with me through it all. One step at a time, sweet Jesus. Trust and obey...
