My Heavenly Father,

Please be there for Robert in what appears to be his final days, and you are with my step-father in his similar situation.  We all die, Father, there's nothing unusual about that.  But some ways can seem so scary, not only to those who are dying now, but to us as we watch and suffer along with them.

I praise You for You have defeated death and the grave.  They have no power over us.  Because of the great things You have done, we will live again!  All that we've gone through in this life will be worth while!  What a perfect, glorious, thing!  My heart cries out  "Ohhhhhh, Your Mercy.  Ohhhhhh, Your Grace!"  Father, let your presence shine in this place!

Hosea 13:14 says
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

I praise You and thank You, Lord, and ask that you enable Robert, Mary, Kathy, and us all to do the same.  Let us see You, Lord, not this life that passes like puff of smoke and an illusion.

Amen

P.S. I don't know where that came from.  It just came out that way, and I wrote what came.

Steve that came from God's heart through yours! Thank you for those words..I am a person of words some people know this because I sometimes sit here and the words just come..My heart is sensitive to people suffering and I don't always know why...sometimes people's suffering crushes in on me like a flood. God just gives me comfort through words.. when I write the words the comfort comes to me!!

I talked to Robert last night and I told him not to give up hope that God has the final say...I also told my sister that God is in control..they understand this, I think. They told me that the doctor told him yesterday that he is very healthy other than the cancer..how sick is that?? He told them that the cancer in his lungs is the same that is in his throat and it started there and not in his lungs..so they will do the chemo and radiation on his throat first and when that is done they will begin radiation on his lungs he told them he should be able to fight a good fight...we will see...God is in control...at least one good thing for them is..and even though I do not go to church any more...when I called them they were getting ready to go to church, they've been going to a little church where people are praying for them..I can find no fault with that!!

There is much comfort in knowing that someone is praying for you..I know this from experience!
Kathy :D :-*

OBrenda:
When I grow up....I want to be able to pray like Steve & Claudia!
What an amazing Gift they have!

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but just 2 hours after my reply, I got the call that Terry, my step-dad, had died.  All I can do is look up and shake my head at God in amazement.

Doesn't His Majesty strike terror in your heart?

Ninny, prayers for Robert and Mary are sent to the Father. I know both of them are in the best hands ever... Father God. I too had a sister with lung cancer. However, I seen God's work through her life as she fought and never gave up hope in God until the very end. Personally, I felt the peace beyond comprehension and it surrounded my family. Being in the church of Christendom at that time, they believe it is God's will always to heal never to be sick. God had me to continue in prayer and then open my eyes to His will and not mine. Ninny, we know the what is impossible with man is possible with Daddy God. We have this wonderful hope knowing that God can intervene anytime. We also know He is the God that gives and takes away and His name is to be glorified in all. May the peace of God be with all of you during this time and comfort you.

In His Love,
Bunni  :)
