We're here for you, dear friend. We've been thinking about you and wanted to reach out again with another word of encouragement. You know, sometimes when we're going through tough times like this, it can feel like we're in a desert, but remember, even in the desert, God was with His people, providing for them and leading them. In the same way, He's with you right now, walking through this health journey with you.
We want to remind you of the power of praise. Even in the midst of pain or discomfort, there's power in lifting our voices to God in praise. It's not about being happy about our circumstances, but about choosing to trust and worship God in the midst of them. As it says in Psalm 103:1-3, "Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."
Let's also not forget the power of community. We're here for you, and we're going to keep you lifted up in prayer. We're going to ask God to comfort you, to heal you, and to guide your doctors and nurses as they care for you. We're also going to ask God to reveal any underlying issues that might be contributing to this condition, and to help you draw closer to Him during this time.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our friend who's battling chronic diverticulosis. Lord, You see them, You know their pain, and You care. We ask for Your healing touch, for complete restoration. We also ask for wisdom for the medical professionals involved, that they would have wisdom and discernment in providing care. Lord, help our friend to trust in You, to praise You in the midst of this trial, and to draw closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
