It seemed the harder I prayed, the worse she became. Finally I gave up and just sent blessings. I thought that might be a gentler way to help.<BR/>I feel very sad for Liz and her family - and for you, having to watch this once happy family fall to pieces before your eyes.<BR/>God bless Liz, Mike and the twins and I hope things will get better for everybody soon.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085928711851529429.post-87705908264699387482008-09-09T11:26:00.000-05:002008-09-09T11:26:00.000-05:00What a sad, sad situation for such a young family....What a sad, sad situation for such a young family. <BR/><BR/>Your comment about the more we pray the worse it gets. You know, I believe that to be true. Let me explain. It's not because our prayers are not effective but rather because they are effective. The more we pray, the more the enemy has to step up his game. This results in a spiritual battle for the person or situation. So, the more prayers are being sent up for Liz and her family, the more she will feel both them and satan's attacks to keep her down. <BR/><BR/>I pray the Lord will reveal the medicine Liz needs to control her new diagnosis.<BR/><BR/>You are so right about being patient and waiting on the Lord. It is so hard but there are so many scriptures that show us the goodness that comes from God by waiting on Him and His timing.Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085928711851529429.post-6836949844212004262008-09-09T06:58:00.000-05:002008-09-09T06:58:00.000-05:00I am praying, too!

Those same words have run through my mind. I never realized how many times. I just never verbalized them. I will pray for all of you. Thank you for this reminder to have patience in the midst of such difficulty! <BR/>Much love,<BR/>Angie xoxoAngela Baylishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846369575832747037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085928711851529429.post-56009217407822837622008-09-09T05:41:00.000-05:002008-09-09T05:41:00.000-05:00Oh, Annette, I am praying for this family too.

I will join you and pray for this family for "Liz" to be healed and the family restored. His thoughts are not our thoughts. I usually say that when I am not terribly happy with Him, but His ways are so much better than our own. It's a good thing I am not in charge. I am praying for your heart to heal too in its hour of pain.

But often we do get worse in order to get better. God is so full of wisdom that we do not understand. <BR/><BR/>Jesus, I lift up this precious child of yours and her husband and those babies. Jesus, touch this situation. Your arm is NOT too short to save. Your wisdom is above ours. Give wisdom to guide and direct all those involved with this suffering woman. Aide and help this situation in a miraculous way. We know You are our deliverer. You alone are our strength and our shield. I ask Your touch upon this family. In Your precious name. Amen.luvmy4sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261302721883036680noreply@blogger.com
