Hold My Hand

As I'm anxious for the hours ahead that will carry us to the morning I prayed with Mom tonight and lifted her up and asked that her night of rest will be an extension of her worship to you. As I was looking through her bible this evening I came accross a poem that her dear friend and cousin Edna gave her. It was taped in the back of her bible it is entitled HOLD MY HAND

HOLD MY HAND

Hold my hand, Lord,
Walk me throug the lonliness
And the valley of my sorrow.

Hold onto me when I'm too afraid
To tink about tomorrow,
Let me lean on you Lord,
When I'm too weary to go on.

Hold my hand, Lord
Through the night,
Until I see the light of dawn.

I was anxious tonight because Mom is already having a little bit harder time to breath due to CHF (congestive heart failure). This always get me nervous about what the long night ahead will bring. Tonight Mom and me prayed together bedside and we thanked the Lord that He had taken her cough away and provided comfort and relief. We prayed that the giver of life that enables each breath; to come down and massage her heart and make it work well so that she can rest and sleep as best she can through the night. May God be the one tonight to fill her lungs and body with His breath.

Our prayer was short and simple. However, this prayer is in action even as I type this tonight at 9:48 PM. Only 9 more hours to go. We are asked to be anxious for nothing and give up anything and everything in prayer. These words spoken tonight were not for just comfort and hope but also for action and peace of mind. Thank you for helping us get through tonight. May my Mom's heart beat extra special on this eve of Valentine's Day. Give Mom a good nights sleep tonight God. May those times when I'm anxious and restless please help me to be reminded of the action that is place and that your presence is here and your even in the next room with her guiding each breath and heart beat. I've given it up to you tonight God. Please help me to take assurance and confidence of that fact that your in complete control. Isaih 40 all the way tonight God....renew my Mom's strength tonight....renew my strenth...AMEN !

Thanks for reminding me that prayer is not passive...it's action. You are holding my hand tonight....Thank you!
