Prayer

I know that prayer is a powerful tool that the Lord has blest us with. It is an intimate way to communicate with Him. I believe in praying and I pray often for I know the Lord hears and answers our prayers. My children pray and have seen the results of the Lord hearing and answering prayers.

This is a prayer request within my blog post for my children and myself to all who read this blog and who pray and believe in the power of prayer.

My heart started jumping a while back. At times it also hurts. My family doctor had me wear a heart monitor back in August of this year, 2008. I recently got the results back when my doctor referred me to a heart specialist. My heart, it seems, beats an extra beat every few minutes which is not a problem in and of itself. Most people's heart beats extra times every so often. When I saw the specialist he did an EKG on me and it came back abnormal. He listened to my heart for a long time. He said I have an abnormal heartbeat and the EKG was abnormal. There are a lot of reasons that an EKG can come back abnormal, I know this. The specialist said he wants me to have a Nuclear Myoview stress test on Dec. 1 . I have to wear a heart monitor until Dec. 15 ,phone in the results,mail the monitor in . Then on Dec. 29 I go back to get the results of everything. My children are worried about me. I have explained to them that God is in control and that God has our best interest uppermost in His heart and mind. I ask that You please pray that the Lord brings my children, Zak and Elizabeth, peace in all of this. My children are blessings from the Lord and I thank God for them. I want them to trust in God completely and wholly. All things are done for a reason, I know this. I am trusting in God to work this for His glory. Pray that the Lord's will be done in this situation and for peace for my children. I thank you all for your prayers.

I wanted to end this post today with a few passages of scripture concerning faith, prayer, belief and being within God's will. Trusting in the Lord for He is my strong tower.
