A Time of Prayer.

Father God,
Calm our hearts so we can hear You. Speak to us so we can know Your will. Open our eyes so we can see Your way, open our ears so we will listen.
Cassidy is in a lot of pain, her tumor is getting bigger and bigger, and her fever is still over 38c. We know the surgery will take away the tumor that is causing all the pain and we also know that the surgery should be done soon. But we also know that Cassidy needs to be at best condition possible to endure such a big surgery and for good recovery. Will she be well enough this Thursday to have the surgery? God, are You preventing the surgery this Thursday or do You have another plan for us? The doctor from Ottawa called us back and offered to talk to Cassidy's surgeon directly about her surgery, should we take that offer and think again about the surgery? Teach us how to think and what to decide.

God, help Carmen and Andy to have good communications and let them see clearly your guidance in all matters. Please help them in their mutual decisions on Cassidy's medication; on whether to bring Cassidy back to the hospital for the fever; on whether to continue to find new alternate treatments; and etc....... God there are so many voices but please help Carmen and Andy to hear only YOURS.

The hospital seems to be concerned if Cassidy will miss this week's surgery date again, but God if it is not Your will, please do not let Cassidy be rushed into surgery just to beat a booking. But if it is Your will, Lord, please help Cassidy to have the strongest body to beat all odds, and bring her through everything smoothly and painlessly.

Cassidy will see yet another new Chinese doctor this afternoon, it is the first time for her to see him, we don't know if that's any help. God if it is Your will, please give wisdom to this doctor to lower Cassidy's fever right away, but if it is not Your will, please make this doctor honest to tell Carmen and Andy the truth and make him give the best suggestion to them.

Cassidy's been having this fever on and off for over a week now, her body is weaken by it and her tumor is strengthen by lack of relevant treatments. God we ask, in the Name of Christ Jesus our Lord, that You shatter all evil power that is hindering Cassidy's treatment or interfering the communications of Carmen and Andy and the well-being of their family. May Your will be done in the Sheng's family and may all the glories be to You.

In the Name of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
