Prayers....

Several weeks ago, I asked that you pray for my friend Jill.
Thank you for those prayers.
Jill received a lung transplant nearly one month ago.
Please continue to pray. And pray boldly.
Pray for her stomach, kidneys, intestines, and liver.
Pray for guidance for her doctors and nurses and perseverance for her family.

In the midst of all that is happening around her,
please pray that Jill feels the kind of peace that comes from God alone.

I am finding Isaiah 40 to be a helpful biblical text these days.

Maybe you'll find it helpful for something going on in your life, too.


The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and strengthens the powerless.
Even youths will faint and be weary,
and the young will fall exhausted;
but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31
