Isa 26:3

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Blessings and warm love from your brothers and sisters in Jesus.

Many, many, many prayers, Sarah! How are you, what is going on?
Thanks for praying, Gracia. I came home from hospital last night and am resting. At the moment the right side of my body is numb etc. I just really want to keep my perspective that suffering can be a blessing bringing us closer to Jesus. I don't have Christians around me unfortunately.

But you do have all of us here in the virtual world, praying for you and with open inboxes if you need to talk. I pray that God will bring Christians in the real world into your life at this time of your need.

Lord, thank you for Sarah's faith. Thank you that she has turned to you in this instead of losing faith and growing bitter. Lord, please keep her strong spiritually, physically, and mentally. Please heal her of ALL effects from the stroke. And please, place a double-portion of protection around her! May Your Body surround her now in prayer and (if necessary) help. Amen.

I just want to update this thread. Ten days after returning home from the ''stroke'' the other side of my body was showing the same symptoms and with those symptoms and an MRI scan the doctors were able to diagnose Multiple Sclerosis. I continue to need courage and a spirit of surrender. I know that everything is in God's hands and I just need patience and hopefully the grace to suffer well (this often eludes me!). Please pray for my husband, Theo. He is chronically sick and handicapped and now his carer (me) needs his help. So, I pray that he receives and accepts the help that he needs. Thank you for your prayers.

This must feel devastating - this is a lot for any family to bear. You have my condolences. I wish I had more to offer. It is encouraging to see you leaning on God the Rock through this. You have my prayers, and may God heal you and your husband. May He be your Strength and Grace through this - truly.
