The Day Before
Tomorrow is the first of many of the steps that this journey is taking us on. What a struggle spriritually I have had. It seems that Satan is trying very hard to divert my intentions from prayer to doubt and my body is becoming fleshly weak. I have felt very ill and have had to spend time taking care of and thinking of my needs and not taking care of the prayers I have wanted to. I know the Lord knows my heart and knows my intentions. I did think a lot about what my intentions were and are. I really know in my heart that I want Nana to be healed because I do not want to see her go through this. I want to see her healthy and remember her healthy. That is what God wants too. So I pray now Lord that you continue to heal her. Yesterday had the potential to be a set back because fear started to creep in about the chest x-ray but I know we are in battle and I know that your power is so much greater and so Lord I give you that fear and I give you Nana. I give you the sickness I feel today and I give you all my doubts. I know that Satan has no place here even though he tries. No matter what pain, sickness, tiredness and so on is brought my way my thoughts and eyes are turned to you because you are the great physician and in you I trust. So thank you Lord for healing Nana. Thank you for bringing her body back to what you wanted it to be, whole and full of life. So Lord tomorrow will come and go but you will be there and you will be there every other day and every step of the way.

Nana's Birthday
Today I rejoice in my Nana's birth. What a wonderful creation. She provides such joy to us all. Lord you knew her before she was born. You knew what her purposes would be here on earth. Never have I found someone who listens as well as my Nana. Thank you for giving me a life growing up with her. I have been so blessed. Lord this day we ask that you bestow blessings upon her. Her 87 birthday! Today as a family we are all fasting to really deprive our flesh and let our spirit flourish. We are praying for healing and restoration in her body.
Luke 9: 1-2
1When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
James 5: 13-
13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
The opposite of worry is trust. The Lord reminds us to boast in His Name. " Some boast in chariots, and some in horses; but we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God" Psalm 20:7. One of His names is Jehovah-rapha, God our Healer. We can all boast in that name together for Nana....Amen!
I took the liberty to list some verses that we can claim in prayer for Nana:
"Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." Psalm 50:15
"But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings..." Malachi 4:2
"Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for Thou art my praise." Jeremiah 17:14
"He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
"Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases." Psalm 103:1-3
We also pray for the rest of the family today Lord and a special healing for my Dad as well. We claim these scriptures for him too. Thank you Lord for providing all you do. Thank you for providing your holy word for us to nourish our bodies on a daily basis and to turn to in our times of need. When I don't have answers I can rest in your word and today Lord I don't have all the answers so I rest in Your word.
