Thursday 24th Feb - Update

Glen is waiting on hearing whether he is suitable for one of the clinical trials and whether there is space on that trial for him. It will be at least 2 weeks before whichever treatment is decided is best begins.

We need to be praying for patience as they wait to find out which treatment is best and then as they wait for the treatment to start. The last couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for all of the family and we need to pray for them to continue to trust in God as they wait results and treatment starting.

Psalm 61
"Hear my cry , O God,
listen to my prayer,
from the ends of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy."

Prayer:
Father God your word reminds us that you are sovereign and you are also unfailing faithful to your word and your purposes. It reminds us of the privilege it is to know you and be known by you, and we come and thank you for Glen's knowledge of you and that you know him as your child. Father we lift Glen, Anne and the rest of the family to you; we ask that you would sustain them as they await yet more results and treatment, Lord when their frustration mounts or they feel drained be their resolve and their comfort we pray. Help them to draw comfort from your love and your plans and purposes for them we pray. Father we continue to ask that as the one who made us, who formed us, who knows our every breath you would graciously heal Glen's body. We ask all this trusting in your will and your way.

Amen
