Prayer: Recovering from the flu

Posted by tom | Mar 24, 2008

On Thursday night/Friday, I [Tom] started evidencing the symptoms of the flu which has worked its way through our children. Maybe I turned the corner when I slept almost all this afternoon [while Eden took a 3 hour nap (wow!) and the rest of the girls gardened].  The loss of most of Friday and today means that I've not finalized every detail regarding Jim Sire's April 1-5 visit. But I confess that I can't make it all work just right and that's not a helpful perspective to let into the planning process. As such, please join me in prayer as I once again offer my health and next week's ministry to God care/oversight.

With regard to this week, pray for me to have the strength to participate in the Screwtape Letters conversation at PSU-Harrisburg tomorrow. Last week, I received a deep impression that our conversations will lead to a lot of 'practical,' daily spiritual life concerns mixed with larger, framing questions. Personally, I've been reminded of the importance of praying for the Lord's direction in order to triumph over the devil's distractions in my own life.  Praying for resurrection power.

Pray for my continued healing and Theresa's protection from illness!
