A Request for Guidance
Posted by Nadene under: Nadene's Thoughts; Prayer Requests .
Dear Friends,
As some of you may know, Deborah, my mom, has been off of chemotherapy treatments for the last month. It is now time to meet with her Oncologist once again to discuss her current condition, symptoms, treatment options, medication etc. Please pray for the following as we meet with her Doctor on Monday, June 16th.
- Our family wants God to be the one in charge of the decisions made about Deborah’s care. There are many many things to consider in this situation and I don’t think any one person feels fully equipped to make the “correct” decision. We all want what is best in God’s eyes for Deborah. Please pray that God would make the ultimate decision and show us clearly what that is.
- Deborah has been experiencing many uncomfortable symptoms, aches and pains, difficulty breathing, difficulty eating, and many other just feeling “yucky” symptoms. Please pray that God will give her body some rest from these exhausting pains and difficulties.
- Our family needs our God every minute of every day, but we are only human. Please pray that God would continue to keep us close to Himself, that we would rely on Him for even the little things like patience in the grocery store
- To add to number 3, I believe our family is under a great trial and attack from Satan. Deborah’s condition is only one of many burdens our family is bearing. Please pray that God would keep us safe from the enemy’s attacks. Pray that we would be able to stand up under our trial and endure it with the joy of the Lord as our strength.
- Lastly, please pray for yourselves. I pray for every person that prays for us. I thank God for you and pray that you will continue to pray for us. I pray that God will bless you for your kind and willing hearts. I thank God for the church in the Biblical sense of the word: the body of Christ. Many of you have shown that you are the hands and feet of God helping us in our time of need, and I thank God for providing such willing servants in our lives.
One Comment so far...

Thank you guys for your perseverance and I will continue to pray for moment-by-moment grace as you continue fight for faith in this trial and for Deborah’s physical healing. May our Father do what seems best to Him.
