~ . . . Please Pray for My Sister Marlene . . .

~ . . . As my sister (Maya Mells) continues on this slow road to recovery, even as we, indeed, await God's decision in the matter, I'll repeat that on days like this I usually pray the words of David in Psalm 42, and the words of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3.  But I don't WANT to pray those words now.  And yet, I know in my heart of hearts that He desires my "Yet Praise".   And I know in my heart of hearts that He DESERVES my "Even-If-He-Does-Not" kind of worship.  And so I find that I MUST pray in that fashion.  Focusing NOT on the fact that He CAN or that He WILL, but that He's GOD.  And that in MY life He's either God OF all, or He isn't God AT all.  And so I give to Him my prayer, my praise, and my worship.  Even if it hurts me to do so . . . ESPECIALLY when it hurts me to do so.  So as you continue in prayer for my sister, please pray my strength in the Lord.  Thank You . . .
