CUP OF TEARS/PRAYER/PRAISE KKIM/DDC

Dear KKIM Family,

Many of you know Sam from here at the CUP! She writes such words of wisdom.......we must come together in prayer for Sam.....read on............


Dear Dewey,
I write this with a heavy heart. At this time my courage and my strength is at an all time low. During the Easter weekend my bad pain in my neck returned. After a few days I knew it was here to stay, the shots worked so well I had forgotten the agony. Yesterday I had more shots, after waiting all this time just knowing I'd be fine afterwards. Well, it is so bad, I can barely sit or stand still. My agony is back full force. As tears ran down my face reading your Cup, and having every fill my heart with joy. I had to write you.
Dewey, please pray that our Savior will have Mercy on me. So often I think I can't take anymore pain. And then your Cup comes and I see I can handle anything with the Lord in my heart. And His Children Praying For Me! I just have to continue in His Mercy and cry for His strength, I have none left of my own. sam

Pastor Leonard here at the CUP responds to the need.............

Dear Sam,

Dewey sent me the email about your pain and your emptiness. We are praying for you along with hundreds of others. We may not be able to take away the pain but we know the one who is the Great Physician. It is my prayer that your eyes will be opened much like the servant of Elisha in II Kings 6:15 and 16. The servant thought that he and Elisha were all alone. But, Elisha prayed to God to open the servant's eyes. When the servant opened his eyes he saw that the hills were filled with soldiers and chariots of fire. So I too pray that your eyes will be opened to the hundreds who are praying for you, your pain, your strength and your courage.

God's Word offers to us much encouragement. God has promised never to leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:9, "this is my command; be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." And in Matthew 28:20, Jesus says, "be sure of this; I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Plus, Romans 8:28 and 29, "and we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them."

I can't imagine the pain you are suffering but know this fact that God is with you and will give you the courage and strength you need to battle each day and each hour. You are not alone.

Paul writes to the church at Corinth these words in II Corinthians 1:3-7, "all praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then we can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us."

Sam, we may not understand your pain and suffering but we are boldly storming God's throne on your behalf to pray to the Great Physician that He would provide comfort, healing and strength for you and to you. We are praying for you.

Yet another one, of which there are many in God's Word, Nahum 1:7, "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him."

Let us pray...Dear Father in Heaven. I come to you as you have commanded us to, through the name of your son, Jesus Christ. I ask, in His name, that you bring healing, comfort, strength and freedom from pain to Sam. Father God, you know her suffering and the terrible pain she has. So I come before you pleading that you bring healing to her body, freedom from this terrible pain. Nevertheless, Father, I pray your will be done and not ours. Only You oh Father know the reason and purpose so we pray for patience as we wait on you to comfort and heal. I know that You our Father have promised never to leave us nor forsake us. So even in the midst of our pain and suffering, remind us of your presence, strength and peace. I lift up this supplication on behalf of our friend Sam. In the name that is above all names, the Lord of Lords and the Kings of kings, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Sam, our prayers are with you. May God richly bless and heal.

Your friend and brother in Jesus Christ,
Leonard
