Long Days
Gentle Reader,
I’d like to ask you to pray for my brother, Ben. Out of respect for him I won’t go into all the details, but he’s had a very rough few days. Abdominal pain saw him being admitted to the hospital on Tuesday night and now he’s playing the lovely waiting game that is medicine. Tests, pills, lots of informational reading.
Ben is one of the greatest blessings of my life. He is compassionate. He has a weird sense of humor. He has the courage to say what’s on his heart and mind. Watching him struggle to deal with this hurts my heart.
He’s my brother. I hate to see him going through this. We don’t always get along, but I’d do anything for him. I wish that I could say the right words or wave a magic wand and have it all go away. Instead, I pray. I ask God to give him strength and peace. I hope that we will begin to see something good come out of this pain very soon.
I don’t understand why this is happening. I want Jesus to come back. Today.
Grace and peace,
Will be praying that the Lord will straighten things out and there will be “new beginnings” for both of you!
Thank you, Aunt Lenore!
Seeing a loved one endure an illness is so difficult. Praying for healing for your brother and the strength for you to get through this difficult time.
I completely understand the pain you feel and the worry. My prayer for your brother is that God will give the medical team wisdom and insight, and that Ben will be touched by the healing spirit of God, who gives him strength, along with health. May God’s spirit and the medical team work in concert that the right solutions may be found.
Peace to you and your whole family.
I don’t always understand why some things do and don’t happen but I guess that’s also why God is there…so that regardless of our trials, we’re never alone. Of course, I’ll pray for Ben. Blessings.
It is hard to understand why at times, I know. I will pray for you and your brother. Your in my thoughts Marie.
Praying for you and Ben, Marie.
