Heavenly Father… I just want to lift this dear sister and friend – along with her family to you! In particular, her dad. This is a very, very scary and trying time – no doubt. But, Lord.. YOU are sovereign – you know the end of the matter from the beginning. Lord, I pray that you would sustain, comfort and bring healing as you see fit. Lord, that you would make yourself known in and through this situation. May Joy and her family feel your hand of comfort and care… through this time. Verses from Isaiah 43 come to mind… verses 2-4… may these words (of truth) bring peace and hope and comfort to their hearts this day. We love you Lord… thank you for hearing our prayers today. ~ amen.

Joy – you will continue to be on my heart, and I'll praying for you!!

Joy, I have been praying for you and your family today. What a blessing to have a brother who will pray in the hall of the hospital with you.

Rebecca Mclellan says
Saying a prayer right now for your dad and you for healing, comfort, and strength. I've been in similar places and God always shows Himself near – after all He promised to be near to the brokenhearted. Many blessings.
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you, Rebecca!

Glad God was able to show you he was with you
I will keep your Father and all of you in my thoughts and prayers

I will be praying for you! I know all what you mean! Mine for me started Oct 20 till the last week of December. It was with my uncle who had no children, but just his wife. I was POA and we started in one hospital, than a rehab, than another hospital farther away, rehab again and than a Hospice in patient unit. The day I cam home from the funeral my children had a welcome home sign with streamers and a card for me. I realized I guess I really wasn't home much. At Hospice I moved in with him for his last five days. I must say I was glad to be there threw it all. He really didn't have other family that could get away. I don't have small children and mine could take care of themselves. They lacked good home cooked meals, but they did get threw it. We did have help from my church to clean ect.
It is hard, but God does give you the strength to get threw it. I found if I keep drinking, eating, and getting rest I got threw it. We would eat out a lot and get good hot meals.
Praying that you may gain strength, peace, and comfort from the only one above who can do this for us.
Joy Kincaid says
Wow, that sounds like you've been through a lot lately, Jo. What a servant spirit you have, to be there for your uncle. Thank you so much for encouraging me and for praying!

Carol B. says
“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” 2 Cor. 12:9.
Oh, Joy, I know this has got to be such a hard time for your family, but God is ALWAYS good and He is faithful. Find those verses to rehearse during those ugly dark (overtired) moments. I will be praying for you and for your dad.
Warmly,
Carol
Joy Kincaid says
Thank you for sharing that, Carol! That verse is very encouraging. And thank you so much for praying.
