Prayer for T.

Dear Heavenly Father,

This morning as I woke up, as usual, one of the first people on my mind was Teresa. Lord, I thank You for keeping her fresh on my mind and here and now, I want to lift her up to You. First Lord, I thank You for being who You are. You are the God who created us, You know every thought, You hear every word; nothing is hidden from You. You know our pains, You know our sorrows. Most of all You love us, You forgive us. I come to You Lord with Teresa heavy on my mind and heart. I pray that You heal her. I pray that You make her strong in body and in spirit. I pray for her white blood cell count is at the perfect level for her to be able to get chemo in the morning. Let us not be discouraged if it is not. We know that You know what is best for her.

I pray for Rob, that You give him strength. Encourage him, Lord. Lift him up. Give him peace, patience, and calm through this situation.

I pray for Rachel. This is such a tough thing for a girl her age to go through. Keep her mind set on Your good and perfect works. Let her see Your love by the people loving and praying for her mom.

I pray for Kendie. Please continue to give her that spark that makes us all laugh and smile. Help her to sleep at night, help her to be good.

Be with T.'s mom and dad. Give them hope, encourage them, give them strength. This has to be so hard for them to see their daughter go through; wrap Your loving arms around them and lift them up.

Lord, I lift up the rest of the family; especially Teresa's grandmother, brother, Rob's parents, Rob's grandma and Rob's brothers and families; lift them up, encourage them, give them strength, rest so that they can effectively minister to Teresa.

Lord, we know that You are good and that You are good all of the time. We don't understand why this has happened to one that we love so much but we put our faith in You to take care of her. We ask for a miracle in healing. We thank You for giving her the peace that only You can give. We are thankful for her relationship with you Lord because without that, we would have no hope. Thank You for hope and thank You for the gift of eternal life through your son, Jesus.

In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
