Keep Praying

Keep Praying. It seems like a simple admonition. In my younger days I would sometimes tell people I would keep them in my prayers. My intentions were always sincere. But sometimes I would find I forgot that simple promise. At some point I found a better way to express my intention to pray for people. Now I say, "I will pray for you as God's Spirit reminds me of you and your concern." My experience is that as God reminds me I do pray. It has been a great blessing for me to be part of a great chorus of prayers resonating at the Throne of Grace. We have seen real miricles. God works through prayer and often uses modern medical technology as well as his own "touch".

Right now our family is praying for our grandson, Zak. Doctors have discovered a problem with the function of his kidney's that can be controled with medication. Once that hurtle was overcome a new problem emerged. Little Zak is having difficulty keeping formual in his tiny tummy. The Doctor's have scratched their heads and offered different explanations which sometimes conflict with each other. Right now he is home from the hospital with a change in his medication and formula. It is the hope that this change will solve this digestive dilema. We are hoping and praying that he can keep his formula in his tummy so that it can pass through his digestive tack. And most importantly begin to gain weight again.

The most important thing we can do his keep praying! I am following the counsel I have given to others. Prayers for my little buddy Zak!
