Prayers to Heaven

Dear Jesus,

I believe in the power of prayer, so I am calling out to you tonight.  Lord as you know Grandma Carol (Jeff's Grandma) is very sick and in the hospital.  Lord Jesus, I thank you for giving us the chance to spend a few hours with her today, even though she slept.  Lord I know that she is battling and trying to fight, but she is tired and has been fighting for some time.  Abba Father, please heal Grandma Carol.  I know that is a hard question to ask, but when it is your will, heal her here on earth or as you walk her Home to Heaven for all Eternity with You.

Jesus, I also lift up our family to You as we face uncertainty.  I pray that you will provide strength, comfort, and peace.  Help us to depend on each other and also place all of our anxieties and fears in Your hands.  Help us to trust in You with everything.

Lord, I ask that You will be with Grandpa Ed (Jeff's Grandpa) as he adjusts to living in the nursing home.  I know he has been asking Grandma Dorthy to take him home, but it is just not in his best interest.  I thank you for giving him a kind roommate that continues to look out for him and reach out to him.

Lord, be with Linda, Uncle Bill, and Dorthy as they help Grandpa adjust.  Use the rest of the family to provide strength, comfort, peace, support, encouragement, and love.

Lastly, Lord, I thank you for my family.  Thank you for giving me Jeff as a wonderful and amazing husband.  He is both my best friend and the love of my life.  Thank you for my parents and sister Jen and for their continual support, help, encouragement, and love.  I couldn't face the pain and fear of this disease without them.  Thank you for my Mema and Granny and for their love and encouragement.  They continue to cheer me on throughout this battle.  But, thank you God for Your Son, who died on the cross to forgive me of my sins so I may some day live forever and always with You in the Home You have gone to prepare for Your children.

Also, thank you for the dear friends and prayer warriors that have been lifting prayers and thoughts to You on behalf of all of us.

In Your Holy Almighty Name,
Amen
