I never believed that to be the case…I am humbled. And once again thank you all.

OK, this is hard for me as I’m a proud person and hate asking for help. But today I received a phonecall from my sister who had just taken my Mum to hospital for a scan. My Mum has been diagnosed with cancer that has absolutely riddled her. It has saturated her liver, spread to her kidneys and is now in the vertebrae of her spine. It is inoperable and will not respond to radiotherapy. The doctors have given her six months to live at the outside. The bit that makes me angry is that she has known something is wrong for nearly two years (that pride I mentioned before must run through my family) and she has said nothing until today. The added hassle is that my Dad is advancing in deteriorating Alzheimer’s Disease and we have to find a Home for him. Mum would like to do this before she passes.

Please pray for the easy passing of my Mum and that I and my siblings have the strength to deal with the situation.

Thankyou in advance for your prayers and thoughts.

Father, in the name of Jesus, please give ongoing strength to Jakob and his family in their needs and sorrows.

Loving God,

You established your plan for each of us from the beginning of time and you sent you beloved son Jesus to show each of us the way. Please be with this family and with jakobsprenger in this time of trial and worry for the family. Loving Mum is having a very difficult time with cancer, please bless her in her suffering and grant her peace as she carries her Cross each day. Bless and give wisdom to her care givers and the family as they minister to her. Lord, you have also given a Cross to Dad as he suffers from Alzheimers and is no longer able to fully care for himself. Please bless him and the family as they find the most loving and caring way to provide for his needs as he and Mum cared for the family through the years. Please strengthen jakobsprenger with faith, hope, and a strong prayer life so these needs and concerns of the family will be persistently presented to you and you always hear our prayers. Please help this family to enable to parents to live out their time with dignity and with the loving care from the children that you have for all your children.

We pray for these intentions in the name of your beloved son Jesus, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.

Amen.
