Urgent Prayer For My Sister

My heart is gripped in sorrow and fear,

                           But Jesus, precious Lord, draw near

                      I lift my sister up to You, I beg Your mercy

                                     To see her through

                          So long her horrid, torrid disease

                           Abated, and her pain was eased

                          And now in fear, in pain and dread

                               In ICU, upon that bed..........

                       Oh Jesus, please, Your path she's trod

                            Father, Spirit, Lord and God      
                                
                        I pray You touch her in this hour 

                   With love, and grace and healing power

                                Heavens many angels

                         Please leave her dwell awhile

                         Here where we so need her still,

                          Her poems, her joy....her smile

                         Father, hear the prayers we pray

                         We love her, don't take her away!

                            And so I post this.....urgently

                        That others join in prayer with me


                                          Amen

I'm not too late, BJ Legros. We have witnessed your pleas to God, and so He made His decision. Prayers for you and that you may rest reassured your sister is in peace. You'll keep her alive in your poetry. ~Anaya

Thank you, Anaya, your visit and comment is not at all too late, and I so appreciate your kind words and prayers so much. Sometimes God makes decisions we wish wouldn't have been His will, but He does, and there is peace knowing she is in peace. It really is the rest of us that are experiencing the deep loss, she is the one who has gained, though even to that, she wanted so much to stay. I really appreciate your visit and words more than you can even know today, as waves of sorrow come over us at times, the last few days especially. I was ready to pick up the phone and call her, and then the crashing sadness hit again, so your words to me are very timely <3 Thank you so much, hugs and much love to you <3
