Sometimes I start these posts with no idea what to write or where the words and thoughts will take me that night. I hold off on a title until I see where I am going. Tonight is one of those nights.
I’ve learned that several people I know are having major medical problems. I’ll pray for them, of course. Still, it’s hard when it happens in bunches. Some of that, I’m sure, is because of my age and the age group I hang with.
Prayer makes me feel as though I am doing something to help. It still doesn’t always feel like it’s enough. “I’ll pray for you and your family” seems so weak in the face of a lung cancer diagnosis, or being hospitalized for a heart attack, amputation of a finger, and all the various other kinds of cancer. But it’s all I’ve got to offer.
Father of us all, please hear my prayers for these people; if it is according to your plan, please heal them; if it is not, please bless them and their loved ones with the strength they need at this time.
