Hello,
I wanted to give an update on my grandfather and say thanks for the prayers but I am asking we continue to pray for him. As I stated yesterday, he had a series of strokes over the past few days. The doctors say he will have to be in a wheel chair, he can't drive, and can't be left alone. Also, his condition will never improve (according to the doctors). As you can imagine this is hard on the family because he is such a strong guy and an all around great person. Really what I pray for though is for God's will to be done. I pray the family accepts God's will and puts their faith (Forsaking All I Trust Him) in Him knowing that God knows exactly what needs/must/and will be done. It is also my prayer that my family members who do not truly know God and do not have an intimate relationship with Christ will come to know him during this process. On a personal level for me, I have every ounce of faith humanly possible that what ever will happen is carried out by God himself. This is a great knowledge to have because I also know He is the True King and Master and His ways are so supremely perfect that whether I understand them or not is an irrelevant part of the equation. I praise God for this situation and something to think about is: if it hurts this bad on the inside for me and my family, and God who loves us so much, it must pain him to hurt us yet he would allow this pain in our lives, just imagine what it will be like to be in His presence for one brief moment when the pain of this world seems like a drop in the ocean compared to the glory of being with God in heaven. (As Pastor Phil says, you have to know the bad news before you know the good news so the good news is truly good news.) Please pray these prayers and intentions with me.
Thanks,
Ned
