Let's lift up Faennooport for good medical results tomorrow. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart" (Prov 3:5). Also, join SwaatthiSmilee in praying for normal medical reports and complete healing. "By His stripes we are healed" (Isa 53:5). God is with you both! In Jesus' name! 
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
—1 Corinthians 9:19 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Grace frees us from the law of sin and death. But, our freedom is not to be used for rebellion or for self-gratification. Instead, we are to use our freedom redemptively, just as Jesus did (cf. Philippians 2:5-11). We can voluntarily limit that freedom to help others still caught in bondage to sin and false ideas about God. We can use the freedom of the Spirit to be transformed to be like Christ (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). Let's use our freedom to rejoice and to bless.
My Prayer...
Thank you, great and mighty LORD, for setting me free by your grace. I know, dear Father, that this gift was given to me at great cost — the humiliating torture, death, and burial of your Son, Jesus Christ. So use me, dear Father, to bless others who have not yet found their deliverance and freedom in Jesus. I pray this in the name of my Savior, Jesus. Amen.
