Prayer please

Hi Israel, sorry to hear the rollercoaster is started moving again.

The week before my main treatment started (and went on for about 3 years) my wife Fiona gave me a card with Psalm 27 on it and I would look at it every day during treatments.

Psalm 27: 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. 3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. 4 One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. 5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. 6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. 7 Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me. 8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. 9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior. 10Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. 11 Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. 12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. 13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Looking at it again this morning three main things continually stand out for me:

Verse 1:

“The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?”

This reminds me that with God, I have nothing to fear, even death.

and

Verse 5:

“For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock”

This reminds me that even when times get hard, God is always there for me.

and

Verses 13 and 14:

“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD”

This reminds me that the land of the living is the here and now but also in the future, so I have nothing to fear.

Thanks so much Mike for sharing. .these words are such a blessing this morning and will be my seat belt on this roller-coaster.

He truly is all that we Need.  Jesus is our Rock isn't he.

Hi Mike,

I've had good news whatever they found was benign, so no further treatment needed. Apparently my surgeon repeatedly left messages on my mobile asking me not to attend my appointment as all of the results were not back. Jesus had different plans as I didn't see any of the messages so attended and 20 mins before my appointment all the results arrived! God  is so good.

Bless you for your support, it was such an encouragement. Enjoy your evening x

Such good news PBTG
