Prayer & Praise

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you, and I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire, and I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Thomas Merton

    On Tuesday I am having a capsule endoscopy. I will swallow a camera about the size of a Motrin and it will travel through my small intestine taking thousands of pictures. They are looking to rule everything out concerning my anemia. MY challenge will be the long drive (for me) to have this done. Would you pray the drive goes well as well as the procedure. Also I had a CT-Scan on my kidneys last week and would ask for prayers for those results. Thank you so much

    Home from the hospital. Over all everything was more than I could have expected. So I will wear this for another 11 hours as the camera passes through me. DVD quality pictures of my insides showing its progress. Unreal! Thank you for your prayers.

    Very good news E
    Post the video 🙂

  14. Em - again says:

    i am thankful to our Lord for E’s report, but now i am reading Linkathon and in the back of my mind is this picture of a tiny camera making its way thru E’s insides 🙂
    that must be quite an experience
    nonetheless, so grateful to read a good report this morning
