Prayer for restored health

I am ready for good health and wellness for our family.

It seems at least one person has been achey and sniffley since July.

I have been doiling out Vitamin C and Echinacha, onion soup and grapefruit seed extract, fortified orange juice and zinc, Sambucol and colloidal silver, Mullein and a whole host of teas and herbals.

I have been sending the children outside to soak up some sun, making them go on walks for the fresh air and exercise, and making sure we are all well-hydrated. I have been getting them to bed for plenty of rest. I have been cooking good, healthy meals.... Yet, we are still somewhat puny.

I keep telling myself:

"And let us not be weary in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

Galatians 6:9

To paraphrase Moses, "Heal us now, Oh Father!"

I'm not sure what else I need to be doing to build up immunities and I'm afraid if I stop, this flu will hit us all with full force! Right now, Husband feels very poorly and my oldest daughter seems to be dragging.

I am praying for healing:

Heal us, oh Lord, and we shall be healed; save us, and we shall be saved,

for the one we praise is You.

Bring complete healing for all our sicknesses,

for, oh God, you are our faithful compassionate Healer and King.

Blessed are you, Lord, the healer of the sick of Israel.

~

And this is the confidence that we have in him,

that, if we ask any thing according to his will,

he heareth us:

And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask,

we know that we have the petitions

that we desired of him.

1 John 5:14-15

Day of Rest and Sweet Anticipation (July, '05)

Ahhhhh.   The day of rest is finally here.  The children are well, my sickness seems to be getting better, and I have a suspicion of an event that, if true, would make me bubble over with joy.    I am content now.   I am at rest presently but not complacent.   Still a longing is here; thoughts of what might have been and what could still be...  Has The Father heard my prayer?   Has He turned His face toward me?  Has the He noticed me with favor?  Oh, that He would bless me again and shine His face on me and look on me with favor....  The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord!
