How John’s Doing

I wrote a few weeks ago, about a man who has been the stay home dad for his kids. His name is John, and he is struggling with some disease that causes his blood vessels to burst. Please visit his wife’s blog, “How’s John Doing Anyway?”
He is once again in the hospital, with a huge blood clot.
The need for prayer support is great, and we can agree in the name of Jesus for God to show up strong for them.

Parenting can be hard, especially when going through illness, or grief. It is so important for us to remain strong in the Lord, and be in the Word daily. God gives us grace to go through whatever we have to go through, being in fellowship with Him, and with other believers, not only feeds our faith, it strengthens us and enables us to go on- trusting Him, and looking for the best. With our eyes of faith being opened to the point of knowing and trusting Him to see us through. With our understanding that He really does know the end from the beginning, and He will cause all things to work together for our good, if we know Him and are called according to His purposes ( doing what we know He wants us to be doing).
Life can be hard, here and now. But this is not all there is. Please pray for it to become easier for John and ‘K’ (his wife). Please pray for their kids to be protected from fear. And please, keep in fellowship, and pray for your own familly…be walking in the grace God gives, and you will make it through whatever comes your way, with Him.
