Breathe Into Me

I am having to walk this difficult road again, the road of watching someone dear to me suffer. Doctors say, "It'll happen soon." My insides are screaming, "NO!"

It is unthinkable. It is unbearable.

I watch and wait. And I pray, "Lord, please have mercy on her."

This is today's entry from my Prayer Journal. As I read it again, I ask God to let it be her prayer, too.

Father, I am in need of Your power in my life right now. Please breathe into me New Life--the Life that is only found in You.

Lord, You are worthy of my worship. You are worthy of my trust. You are worthy of my praise.

Your love and compassion and grace is beyond my understanding. But I am thankful.

Your Word is POWER. You have, by Your Word alone, spoken this universe into existence. Your Word brings new life, turns nothing into something, causes darkness to flee, speaks order into existence.

Your Word designs beauty.

Do this in me, Lord. Do this through me.

Speak into me. Breathe into me. I will receive Your Word with anticipation of New Life.

My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to Your word! Psalm 119:25
