Believing in the Power of Prayer

Hello my friends.  Lately, I have been feeling down because of two situations happening to someone close to my husband and I.   I have been thinking so much about this and wonder why things like this happen. :(  We don’t know the reason “why" things like this happen but I do know that the power of prayer is very much real.  I had kept all of this to myself.  In fact, I had only told one blogger friend about the 17 yr old.  I’m just a private person when it comes to my personal life and those that I love, especially something like this.  I thought of not posting it on my blog but I’m feeling led to post it and ask for prayers. 

I have a cousin whose nephew has recently been diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma Cancer.  His name is Joseph and he is only 17 years old.  He lives in a small town close to my city and his mother drives him to another city (Lubbock, Tx) for his treatments.  Please keep him in your prayers.  I truly believe in the power of prayer. 

And last request….My husband has a cousin who just found out that she has breast cancer.  Her name is Nancy and she will need a mastectomy.    She is such a kind gal.  She is always there for everyone.  So loving and kind.  This dreaded disease is attacking so many!  Please pray for Nancy.  She has an appointment next week with a surgeon. :(

I know that the “Word” tells us about healing.  For instance:

Jeremiah 30:17
"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds," declares the LORD.

These words were not only powerful then, but they are still just as powerful. 

Psalm 103:3-4
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

With Love,

Sandra
