Hi friends,
I have my second round of chemo today. I was ill during the last cycle for over two weeks. Please pray for me that I will have a quicker recovery this time and not be so ill. Please pray that this chemo shrinks the cancer to the point where the next step, surgery, is easy! Thank you!
Thank you for continuing to pray for Cheryl's niece, Kristen, too. I haven't heard any updates yet. Cheryl's blog is Homespun Devotions. I'm sure she will give updates there.
I may be away from the computer for a few days. Thank you again for praying! God listens to you ladies. Seek him. He loves you so much! No matter what you are going through, you're going through it with Him. Lean in, listen for his voice.
Having trouble hearing the voice of God? One sure way to hear is to read His Word the Bible. Holy Spirit will make things stand out to you. Trust HIM. Ask Him to help you hear. Quiet the other voices around you. Get quiet. Listen. You'll hear Him.
Thank you God for hearing us, and thank you for speaking to us in your still small voice. Please help the dear folks reading this to hear your voice clearly. If there are ones who have not given their lives and hearts to you, I pray that they will find salvation in you right now. I ask it all in Jesus' precious Name and by the power of the Blood of Jesus. Amen.
Hugs to you all!

ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteJust as your post came to me I was reading Psalm 41... vs. 3 says: The Lord will strengthen him (her) on his bed of
illness; You will sustain (her) on her sickbed.
May you feel is powerful, peaceful presence today.
I hope this treatment is more gentle on you. Continued prayers. Hugs,

ReplyDeletePraying for you often. No need to comment!

Praying for you, Laura. God is with you and I'm glad you know that. Music always helped me to get through tough times. Sing those hymns, sister! Judi
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer Laura. Thank you for that. And praying for you right back! Please Lord help Laura to handle the chemo well and may it do its work and shrink things so that surgery will work out beautifully. Help here still to find the joy in each day and stay focused on taking good care of herself. Give her peace with Your healing hands. In Jesus name now & always, Amen.

Thinking of you! Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteYou are and will be in my prayers. I pray your treatment will go smoothly for you and will do everything to help you that it should. I also pray that the side effects will be nonexistent or very minimal this time and every time in the future. Take care and rest when you need to. Please know that you have many, many people holding you in prayer at this time.
ReplyDeleteHugs!Your smile is so lovely. And yes I have been praying AND believing for you!
ReplyDeleteI prayed some extra prayers for Kristen and you today.
ReplyDeleteI'm falling behind in visiting and emailing....my nose has been stuck in books...I'm keeping you in prayer, Laura.
ReplyDeletePrayers for healing quickly and with minimal side effects.

Jesus is the same Healer today, as he was over 2000 years ago. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
ReplyDeleteLaura, you are one of the people on focus, that our family prays for without fail. I know that Jesus will use this illness to his Glory so that you will be a testimony to others. I feel so helpless that I cannot be there for you in person. Feel free to email me with any need you have, or just to talk or pray. I thank you, so much for taking the time to come here to update us and keep us informed, even though you have times when you're not feeling like doing anything but rest.
Dearest Laura, Am praying for you, Feel so helpless and sometimes the words seem inadequate but finding some comfort in knowing that the Lord only gives us what He knows we can handle. I have never been in your situation, going through chemo, radiation, etc..so I can only imagine how terrible it is. Know that God hears us all praying to Him, asking for His Grace and healing for you. Be strong in your faith, and in the quiet moments listen to God's comforting voice as He assures you He is right there with you and will NEVER leave your side. Tell Him when you are afraid, angry, hurting, anxious, sick...He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him, and there's nothing that says more personal than to tell Him exactly how you feel, what you are thinking and what you believe and know He can do. Ask for extra strength to accomplish whatever He has planned out in His will for you. He knows you are a wonderful disciple of His and are spreading his glory and love to everyone you come in contact with. Get plenty of rest and God Bless you, you are an inspiration to me, Karla
ReplyDeletePraying for you. My daughter-in-law went through chemo and the surgery and is doing well. I am sure yours will go well too.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Bev
