40 Days of Prayer - Day 35

 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our affliction

so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction

with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance,

so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5

I love this passage.  Run-on sentence and all.  :-)  It has been borne out in my life through the years.  The hard stuff I've gone through, without fail, has been used of the Lord as a means to comfort others with the comfort He gave me through all of it.  I trust that this period of time is also a part of "in all my affliction" just as the rest has been and that it will be used similarly.  He IS the God of ALL comfort.  Truly.

I feel as if there is some progress going on in my body.  Improvements are not totally consistent.  There're still ups and downs, but I think there is some forward progress happening.  My digestion is better, for the most part.  I'm still having difficult bouts, but less frequently.  The med I'm using for adrenal support is evening out and I've been able to ease up to almost a full dose without  problem.  So that is also good.  I hope to make some progress on probiotic and protein use next week.  Weight is still up and down, but isn't as low as it got.  Patience is the by-word here.  :-)

We would appreciate continued prayer for Daniel.  At his doctor's recommendation, he won't be returning to work until late next week.  In the midst of the medical stuff, they also have to deal with the insurance companies.  Not an unstressful thing in the midst of hurting.  Prayer for healing for him, and a path through the insurance forest would be greatly appreciated.

Today's Prayer Requests:

~ Daniel's healing and navigation of the insurance forest.

~ Housing solution for us

~ Vehicle for Dale

Thank you for praying with and for us.  You are precious to us.
