Dear Lord,
Looks like B will have an EMG soon to find out whether the hand numbness is caused by nerve compression in her wrists, or from cervical myelopathy. Her neurologist told her first that she needed surgery; then he said she didn't. That does not inspire confidence. So we are going to get a neurosurgeon to evaluate her condition.
She still is plagued with anxiety + paranoia. Her diabetes is not well controlled; neither is her weight. She seems more prone to infections lately. She also feels pressure to conform to what she thinks others expect her to do.
Help me to help her. She is a very sweet sister, but also exasperating. I want to focus more on being compassionate for her, as Jesus would be. Also, I take 1 Timothy 5:8 very seriously. I am conflicted by my own health problems taking up a lot of my emotional energy.
Guide me as I seek to become more like your Son.
In your holy name, amen.
