“As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.”
~Psalm 125:2
This verse has been on my heart this week.
It has been my prayer for my mom who recently found out that the cancer she had years ago has returned to her body.
Writing those words out makes them more real than I want them to be.
Being away from my family at this time is difficult, but I know the Lord’s presence is near.
The hardest part for her right now is the waiting…waiting for answers…waiting for more tests…waiting for appointments…waiting to know more…waiting.
My prayer, like the prayer of the psalmist, is that just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, the LORD would surround my mom.
I pray that He would surround her in her fears, anxieties and pain.
I pray that He would surround her in her waiting, giving peace, hope, and comfort as only He can.

Oh, Monica. Cancer. Blech. I know entirely too many people fighting it right now. Praying for your mom and for you.

We were out of town all last week and I am just now catching up on your blog. I will be praying for your mom— and for you as you are several states away.
Love your guts!
