Prayer for my step-mom

[scott29]

I posted on the running cancer thread a couple months ago about my stepmom who was diagnosed with a fast-moving cancer that had spread all throughout her body. At that time, she was given around 6 months to live. I just learned last night that the cancer has spread to her brain. I have prayed constantly for her and I ask for any prayers that can be offered up on behalf of Janelle. This wonderful woman has done so much for me in my life that I can't even express what she means to me.

My reason for posting is a little embarrasing and selfish, but I really need prayers for myself too. I keep beating myself up about this thinking I have no right to feel such pain because it's not me this is happening to. But the truth is, I don't deal well with death at all (I suppose noone really does) and my heart is broken. I don't know what to do with this pain and the grief of knowing someone is going to die and not being able to stop it is the worst feeling I've ever experienced in my life. I can't help but feel selfish for asking for prayers for myself, but I feel so much grief right now that I feel I won't be able to handle it when the time comes. I also can't shake the feeling that I'm a horrible and selfish person for even asking.

Please send a couple of prayers up for me, please.

Lord, I lift up this precious prayer request and ask for your spirit of peace over scott's stepmom. Hold her in Your arms through this hard journey. I also lift up scott in prayers. Lord, grant this person peace and cradle him in Your arms as he is walking through this storm. Let there be stillness within his whole being. I hand over all grief that scott is feeling at this time and lay it at Your feet. Cradle scott in Your loving arms. Hold him close to Your heart. I thank You Lord for answered prayers in advance. In the name of Jesus "Amen"
