Prayer

My mom continues to struggle with her health;and this week she had one of her worst episodes.   She was admitted into the hospital with excessive internal bleeding.   Fortunately, after surgery, it looks like she is on her way to recovery, albeit slowly.

At times like these, we go through so much, emotionally, physically, mentally, and socially.  In some ways, we feel helpless, because we personally can't really do all that much about the root problem.    However, I did find peace in PRAYER and placing her into God's Hands.

Wondering whether there's more I could be doing constantly runs through my mind; and this is actually a learning experience.    I haven't been through many situations like this, so having to make decisions regarding the hospital, visiting, preparations for her return home after the hospital stay, etc are new to me.   One thing that stood out, that I think is important, is to pray with the person.    I know that pastors and visitation teams do that; and I can see how that it would be one of the best things one can do for a person.

I am grateful for PRAYER - the power of it, the peace and comfort that comes from it, and how through it, God reveals to me practical ways in which I can help or what decisions to make.    I also have comfort in knowing that my Community Group will be joining in prayer as well.
