Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!
This evening Lord, my heart is heavy.
As we’ve discussed a number of times before, a huge Blessing in Jonathan’s life over the last couple years has been his involvement with Kay’s Kamp. It’s a wonderful organization, and it’s meant so much to Jonathan to have that connection with children who share and understand his medical situation. The bonds he’s formed with that group have been amazing, and we’re very thankful to be part of their “family”.
Over the rest of the year when Kamp isn’t in session, the Kay’s Kamp staff is wonderful about keeping everyone in contact with each other, and in passing along any important events that may occur so that everyone can come together when needed. Today, I heard from them… and it wasn’t happy news.
One of the Kampers’ medical condition has deteriorated, and he and his mother are in need of Your Comfort Father.
Whenever we come up against news like this, it hits us extremely hard Lord. We’ve worn those shoes, and I believe it’s one of the most difficult things that anyone can deal with in this lifetime. When I received the email, past realities flooded back to me and my heart caved knowing what they must be feeling. Although we’ve been truly Blessed that Jonathan’s disease has stayed in remission so far, the fact it still lives in him becomes much more real when we see others in that situation suffering. I realize we don’t have the “Big Picture” Father, and that You’re still in control even in cases like this, but those answers can seem very distant when our spirit cries for those in pain.
Heavenly Father, please bring Your Divine Healing to this little one and his mother. Let them know Your Love and Comfort, and the Eternal Hope that Christ brought to us all. Your Light is strong in these families Lord, and I pray that they see it and feel Your Peace in this time of turmoil and darkness. Amen.

Thank you Debra. My prayers for them are very much the same.

This makes my heart ache. Lord, please be with your child. You are sovereign and you stand outside of time. You know what will happen before we do. I pray for your will in this child’s life. I pray you will give the parents the spirit of comfort and wisdom. Amen.
Amen Kelli. Thank you.
Have a Blessed Day!
Praying for this little one. May God touch his body and comfort the family.
Thank you so much Jenifer. I pray His Peace is with them as well.
Have a Blessed Day!
The words escape me for what I have read. I know her pain in wanting to keep him here. Prayers will be coming from my heart in full that God comes in and eases this time. Thank you for the chance to send my prayers, love, and knowledge to know this person.
Thank you Dy… The comfort of Christ is exactly what they need at this time.
Have a Blessed Day!
Amen and amen!
Thank you Allison!
