Lord God of Heaven and Earth,

I am weak but you are strong. I can only offer you thanks and praise because I know that you will answer my prayers. For you are not only strong but good. You are able and you have granted me a wonderful calling as a caregiver. I also know that you will continue to provide for me even though my budget numbers don't add up. And if it is your will, Lord, you can heal my Lisa and also Chris's Lisa, who is suffering from cancer in her shoulder and in her lungs and in her remaining breast after so much treatment. She has been told she only has three months to live and has stopped the chemo and radiation. Chris is calling hospice. Lord, you raised Lazarus from the dead even after he had been in the grave four days. Will you not prove yourself in these days? As for my Lisa, her physical therapist said she would start to regress if she didn't continue her therapy. But now the insurance has run out.

Lord I am tired from doing so much work to still not be able to pay bills. I continue to pray I will be able to work from home. Teach me the physical and occupational therapy techniques, Lord. I thank you that you have made me her coach. But I'm not at home enough on account of these two jobs. I need rest.

I thank you, Lord, that you are faithful and strong. I know you care about me and my family. I know that you are not a God of wood or stone, but the Living God, and my Savior. I don't know what your will is, Lord. But I do trust in your goodness. These loved ones need your help. And we are but a microcosm of this hurting world. I thank you, Lord, that you have it all under control and that you will bring all things together for a good end. When you created the world you said, "it is good." and when you created mankind you said, "it is very good." And I believe you were looking through to the end of creation when you said this. We have fallen, but you have made us new. Bless you, Lord. I thank you for this hope. Bless us also now with faith and unity in prayer. This I humbly pray.
