Andrew & his dog.
Sisters, Let me try to express how your kind words, references to scripture and prayers have been the balm of Gilead to my heavy heart. Truly, the Body of Christ is beautiful.
Since our world tilted Tuesday, the past 2 nights have been especially difficult. Hard to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep. And the thing is I don't want to sleep. I want to keep the Word before my eyes. I want to ingest it and so I meditate on scripture when my eyes close. When sleep leaves and the morning is not yet, I turn on my lamp and weep before the Healer. I read His Word, I pray and I groan through the Holy Spirit's intercession. I believe that Jesus has entered into this with me. He is interceding before the Father. Around 5:00 this morning I asked my husband to read Psalm 27 over me.
"I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord" Psalm 27:13, 14.
Thank you to all who sent people here. Thank you for adding our sweet Andrew to prayer chains. I pray that as you enter into the "secret place" of prayer, our Father rewards you openly.
We are praying and believing that the mass - the intruder that has no legal right to be in Andrew's body - shrinks to nothingness. We are praying and believing that Andrew regains complete and perfect use of his left arm and hand.

ReplyDeleteWhen you think of it maybe you have someone make you a prayer button we could put on our blogs. One can never have too many prayer warriors in his corner.
Melanie, I am going to put Andrew's name on the praying silhouette that I've had on my blog for Amy Dawn, and will add a link to your blog. Please let anyone know they may use it, or make their own. We are praying for Andrew night and day, and will be lifting him up to the Lord continually for healing . That scripture is true...His Word is true. I pray the Father will lay a blanket of peace and protection over your family, and I pray for His mercy and grace to be yours today. Mary
ReplyDeleteStanding with you in these very prayers... Jennifer

ReplyDeleteAfter the attack on our daughter this past week, I understand a smidgen of what you're enduring. I'm adding your son to my daily prayers.
God be with you, grant you strength, grace, and, most of all, victory!
Continuing to storm the heaven's on Andrew's behalf. In the darkest of days in my life, I slept with my Bible.

Just tell her Andrea at arise 2 write sent you. Then we will all be able to place his prayer button on our blogs so the entire world will be able to pray for him.

My mother's heart waits in pause with you this day before the throne. May the peace of Christ which exceeds understanding mediate its way past closed doors to stand in your midst and be your ample and abiding portion this day and in the days to come.

Precious Melanie, Psalm 27:13-14 is the WORD I was taught in my childhood by my Grandmother and I've kept it, stood on it and prayed it continously in my life time including when my husband was battling serious illness for 3 years. GOD delivered him and He will do the same for Andrew!
ReplyDeleteAs you said, this foreign thing has no LEGAL RIGHT to be attacking his body! Andrew belongs to the LORD! I/we stand with you in prayer not just for him but for your entire family. Stay strong in the LORD.
Believing for miracles. In my body and mind.
ReplyDeleteLove you much.
Praying and more praying.

Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI'm standing in total agreement with you now.
What a powerful word the Lord gave you.
You are such a wise woman to do what you are doing.
Truly God is with you every step of the way, and is watching over Andrew day and night.
Continuing to stand in the gap, beliving God for that GOOD report!!
PS Great idea for a prayer button for all of our sites!
ReplyDeleteHope you can get that done♥
Sweet friend, try to get some sleep to keep your strength up. Remember our Jesus who said "come to me and I will give you rest."
ReplyDeletePraying in affirmation with you tonight.
Melanie, I just wanted to say I love you and your weet family. SkateBoy! from the first picture I saw. We will be praying for you all here and for God to answer these prayers. God Bless you sweetie!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I will be praying for your precious son, Andrew. Our God is a God of miracles.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago my brother was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, his balance was poor and he fell alot, got headaches, etc.
There was nothing the doctors could do. He was going to die. Well, I think you know what's coming. The Lord healed him. The xray confirmed the tumor was gone but my brother knew that anyway as his symptoms were gone.
I only said this to let you know that we serve a God of miracles Who is unlimited by human hand.
I'll be praying for you all!
Love in Christ,
Nan
We all agree in prayer! Dear God, Heal your little Andrew!
