Boy, Lord, this week You have shown me just how much You sustained me while I was in the hospital in Michigan! I wonder if I’ve ever been so exhausted in all my life as I have been this week. My brain and body has functioned only because You made it possible. My mind and thoughts have come only because of You. Every time I have had to walk, grocery shop or anything else YOU have provided my every need. You have been my Strength “in neon” ever since we got home. Thank You for continuing to be my Strength at all times and thank You that You have given my body and mind some rest as well. Yes, Lord, I still depend on You to provide my every need and, yes, I still have little energy or presence of mind, but I know that I am better than I was when I first came home. For that You receive all the praise, honor and glory. One day at a time, Sweet Jesus, is the only way I know to live anymore, Lord. Thank You again for never leaving me nor forsaking me. I rest in Your arms each moment of every day just so I can make it to the next step of our journey on this path. Praise You from Whom all blessings flow!
The more I read and find out about spinal fluid leaks, Lord, the more ominous this journey sounds. Please give me the grace to keep my eyes on You and not on the human circumstances. There is no doubt that You alone will show me the way and make that way possible wherever You lead me. Right now, if I think about it too much, the way sounds filled with much pain and treatments for the rest of my life. If that is the case, Lord, You will carry me in Your loving arms and make the way possible. I, believe it or not, am eager to find out what You have in mind for me. I just know that it will mightily glorify You and that Your love will shine through it all, drawing others to YOU. That’s exactly what I want...
“Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I Myself will help you,’ declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 41:14
