Monday 9th May - Praise the Lord

Good evening. We have had a mixed day but one which has ended positively. We went for the scan this morning but I was not feeling very well. I came back and slept and also contended with a visit from the district nurse. We were then called back to the hospital and this made myself and Anne very nervous but the meeting with the consultant was a real answer to prayer. The brain scan showed no development and the swelling around the small tumour has gone which is fantastic. The other scan showed a slight progression, so proving the chemotherapy is not working but this allows for a compassionate application for a drug which has shown early signs of excellent results. I do though need to be physically very well and would really love prayer to this end.

Psalm 30 v 4-5 says 'sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints, and give thanks to His holy name'. Psalm 34v 1-3 also sings 'I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together.' The Lord blessed our meeting today and has given us positive news. We want to praise Him not only today but every day for our salvation and our relationship with Him. Praise Him you heavens and all that's above.

Verse of the day: Psalm 106 v 1

Prayer of the day: Praise the Lord for Him never leaving or forsaking us. Praise Him for the meeting today and for the positive news we received. Pray for the cancer for God to heal it from my body and restore it to its full health. Pray for my body that is would grow physically stronger each day and I would sleep well every night. Pray for our families and their strength to be from the Lord and for Him to give them His peace. Pray for the salvation of others.
