Precious Father,
I will praise You with my whole heart. In the dark before dawn, I will rejoice at the mention of Your Name and I will praise You. You are a very present help in trouble.
Forgive us, O Lord, when we fail You. Know our sorrow when we fail to honor and obey You and Your Word. Purge our hearts of unrighteousness.
We lift Dr. Hamblin to You, O Lord. We are ever grateful of his guidance and the contributions he has made to find a CLL cure. He is quick to praise You and credit You for Who You are and what You do. Go to his side this week as he recovers. Remove pain from his body. Bring a God-breathed peace and rest to his body and soul. Provide exceptional medical care for him by each person who is assigned to tend to him. We ask that anything not normal, be removed from his body and allow him to be given a clean bill of health.
Psalm 60:11 tells us that the “help of man is useless”. So we come to You, laying our burdens at Your feet. Bring a speedy recovery to all who are suffering with problems in their bodies. Bring good results to all awaiting test results, such as my Dad. Continue to work in the midst of those receiving treatment such as Randy. Bring continued good reports.
The book of James instructs us, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” Prioritize our calendars and schedules, Father. Help us to live our lives as though today could be our last. Life is fleeting and we need Your guidance so that we do not waste a moment. In the midst of great need, continually remind us that we are here to glorify You and Your Name. Remind us of the lost souls who cross our paths each day. Let us have Your heart for the materially poor and those spiritually destitute. Help us not to spend our energies and resources on living the American “dream” – let us strive to use these energies and resources to reach the world for You.
I love you, Lord. In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray. Amen.
