Trying Times

The last few days have been trying times, with my sis-in-law hospitalized for brain tumor, diagnozed to be 80-90% likelihood of malignancy, and with my brother and his son in a state of devastation.

Without surgery, the doctor says it will be about 3-6 months, and with surgery 1-3 years. Yesterday, the surgery went through as 'successfully' removing the tumor and she is now in ICU. The surgeon did not wish to comment whether it is benign or malignant till the test result of the tumor is out, which will be around this Thursday, January 15 2009.

I have been praying for the family alongside with some online Christian community friends at FaithWriters.com. May God comfort this family.

Dear Lord, be merciful to this family! Help them stay strong in the face of desperate times. Lead them Lord to you and help them recognize the urgent need for salvation. Show me Lord how I can help and what I must do. Lead me by Your Holy Spirit to know the right time to say the right thing without giving false hopes nor lacking confidence in the Lord.
