Hey Michael,

I am so very sorry to hear this.

I’m praying right now – for hope, for a breakthrough, and for you to not lose heart. God is still able to heal this situation.

“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” Ephesians 3;20, TPT

Blessings,
Melanie

I love the cute quotes from your son and daughter. I love the way your daughter, as young as five, wanted to pray for her husband! I love how you give us so many reasons to pray! And last of all, I love the quote by Abraham Lincoln! Such inspiration here, my friend! Pinning and tweeting!

Like so many of our prayers, the answer to his request was no, but the request still moved your heart in love towards him. I need to remember it’s not as much as getting the request right as connecting to the heart of God. Good stuff. Thanks for writing this.
Kevin
