Prayer Journal 12/22/01
Wow, what an interesting last two days I have had. Lord, I thank You that I am home right now. I don’t understand what is going on in my body, and I want it to be completely cleared up. On Thursday during school, I was hit by a pain worse than anything I have ever before experienced. I don’t know what caused it, nor do I ever want to go through it again.
[I was taken] to the Emergency Room of the hospital and I ended up staying there for just over forty-eight hours. At first, they thought it was a kidney stone but the X-Rays ruled that out. Then we took some chest X-Rays and found an 8 centimeter mass near my left lung, which would explain why the left side of my body has been in pain for the last few months. I don’t know what it is, and I don’t know if it will go away with antibiotics or not, but I began feeling better after being on antibiotics for a few days. I had a biopsy done yesterday and the results will be ready for me on Wednesday. I don’t know what it will show, but I pray that it will go away before anything has to be done regarding surgery or anything. Lord, I know that You created the universe with a word and that You can wither up this mass with a word. I pray that You will do this as a demonstration of Your glory and power. I don’t want to be cut up with surgery. I don’t want to have cancer. I want it to be pneumonia and have it all go away with the antibiotic. I remember that after being on Biaxin for a few days, the pain all went away and didn’t reappear until this past Wednesday, and then on Thursday it came back with a vengeance. I don’t like that.
Lord, I thank You for saving me. I know that nothing I go through will ever ultimately defeat me, only help me to grow stronger and closer to You. I know that I can stand firm and know that You are there for me always. It’s hard a lot of the time. It’s hard when I am feeling so bad. Even when I’m feeling better, it’s still hard. I want this antibiotic to ultimately kick the infection completely out of my body so that I can be back running full strength. I love to be in Your presence, Lord. In the wonderful name of Jesus, I thank You and pray…Amen!
