Dear Lord- open my ears to hear, my eyes to see, and my heart to feel. Grant me the strength to obey.

Today is my husband's surgery. We would appreciate your prayers.


Psalms 21


"For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken" (vs. 7)

How great are the victories the Lord gives. As we go into surgery today, I am remembering the greatness of the Lord. I will rejoice that I have His strength to support me and that I can have joy in His victories whatever they may be. God does not withhold the requests of my lips and He knows the desires of my heart. He gives life. I can do nothing to add or subtract from my life, save for eating and living healthy, which is important. But worrying will do nothing. Worrying will not add a moment to my life and will dissipate the energy that I need to be strong.


Regardless what happens today, I will cling to Gods eternal blessing and be glad in the Lord. He is not changing and He is here with me today. God's love is unfailing; the only thing that is secure and eternal. I will not be shaken today. I will be there for my husband, my in laws, and my children. I will be their strength because God is mine. God will lay hold of my enemies and crush them. God can crush the cancer and even if He chooses not to, I will still trust in Him.

God will be exalted. In my life, God will be exalted. Amen.
