An Anchor in Glory

Tomorrow morning will be Mams's third chemo treatment...
God is continually faithful in His presence and in providing the encouragement we need when we need it.  One of the blessings we have been most grateful for in the last few weeks is joy that we know He has given us.
Today and tomorrow, would you pray for Mama...
First that she would not be anxious.  No matter how confident we are that the chemo is something to be thankful for, anticipating treatments of this toxic nature doesn't get any easier with experience.  Pray that God would give her a peace during the time before and during treatment and that her joy in Him would not diminish.
Second, please pray especially that Mama would not have as much nausea.  The doctors prescribed a stronger medication for the last treatment than the first one, but the nausea was still quite a bit worse and was more difficult to get under control.  Pray that the doctors can provide effective medications and that we will be able to get the symptoms under control quickly.
Lastly, pray for endurance and that the Lord would guard our hearts and minds.  Thinking rightly about the circumstances we are in is so important, especially as we desire above all things to guard our hearts.  We know the Holy Spirit is working, and He has been faithful in this way, but pray that difficult days, when they come, would only cement the truth in our hearts and not drag us back from the steps we are taking heavenward.
As always, thank you for beings warriors for us in your prayers.  The prayers of the righteous do avail much...as we are experiencing first-hand...even from moment to moment.

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." ~ Ephesians 3:14-21
