Matthew 18:19-20
Lord, hear our prayers
There is so much evil in the world
but we know that you have overcome it
Please pray for our neighbour 'David'
After several years of failing health, and blood infections
David, has now been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer
The doctors are thinking in terms of months [not years]
and have started him on smallest dose of Morphine
David, is in his early 80's
David ceased smoking over 30 years ago, and this diagnosis
has been a total shock, to him and his wife 'Shirley'
Shirley asked us [this morning] to sit with David, when she needs to attend hospital chiropodist
["in case he moves and falls ~call ambulance service, to pick him up"]
because David, can only walk with supportive-assistance
David's downturn has been surprisingly rapid, and I don't know if he is a christian [I will soon!]
But he has such a nice and gentle personality, it is something I could take for granted

For their strength and emotional comfort, to walk the walk they are given
