    Dear Lord, I lift up JO in prayer to you.  Lord we know that satan attacks those who belong to you, he need not go after those who are already in his court, so we know this is just another of his efforts to turn your child away from you.  But Lord, we know to whom we belong and JO is YOUR child so we know satan will not have success.  This is but a kink in the twisted road but we have faith that you are in total control and we will overcome in victory.

    Touch JO, spar2, foots, Mary's friend, mmm5, ljh and all others here, dear Jesus.  Surround them with your loving arms and let them feel your presence.

    In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

    So if you are suffering according to God's

    will, keep doing what is right

    and trust yourself to the God who made you,

    for He will never fail you 1 Peter 4:19 TLB

    The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,

    And He delights in his way.

    though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;

    For the Lord upholds him with His hand.

    Psalm 37:23-24 NKJV

    Help us, Lord, to fight this disease. Help us to take charge

    of our medical care and treatment. Give us a positive, fighting

    spirit. Help us to say no when it is appropriate, remembering

    always to treat everyone, including the medical staff attending

    us, with the same dignity and respect that we expect of them.

    Guard us from the temptation to resign to passivity, negativity,

    or anxiety. Surround us with people that care about us and who

    will pick us up if we fall. Please be with Jo, hollyann and her

    DH, Help them through their pain, Comfort and help them heal.

    Also, you know the unknown hurt ones here, please help and

    comfort them. Be with and help, Patoo, Genia, ljh58,Spar,mmm5,

    kbugmom, Espee, and others here. Help us to remember You will

    never leave us or forsake us, We are a very special group Lord.

    Please give us peace and courage as we look for Your comfort

    and joy to keep on keeping on. Thank You for all You have done

    SO glad to hear from you, but don't let your mind go to Mets as I don't think we ever hear of METS in knees. I am so sorry you have to go through this just when you were feeling a bit better.

    Dear Lord you have heard the petitions of many of my sisters.  In addition to their prayers, I stand in the gap for my sisters on this site who know you but not well enough to reach out and also for those who don't know you or profess not to want to know you.  I offer this intercessory prayer for all of them my Father.  Please grant them relief from pain and other stressors in their life.  Bring them good news for those who are awaiting test results.  Let the research and trials announce a cure, not only for BC but for all cancers!  I send this prayer heavenward in the precious name of our savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

    From one of my devotionals today (Charles Stanley, daily calendar devotional) "The Lord is our King; He will save us."  -  Isaiah 33:22

    "God has given us a healthy way to love ourselves.  The word that most readily comes to mind is respect.  Respect yourself.  That is what it means to have good self-value or self-worth.  Regard yourself as God regards you--a unique, irreplaceable, and beloved creation with a divine and eternal plan and purpose.  Don't allow what others say to drag you down.  Don't put yourself down.  Hold your head up and face the world with the knowledge that you are a child of God and your Father is the King of the universe!"
