Prayers and Scripture

Trish, my wife, was a witness to alot of people. A woman so full of life that when she walked into a room it would crackle with electricity! That energy did not diminish when the ALS came her way. We prayed so hard for her healing and I believe with all my heart that God is a healing God! They speak of an ultimate healing. 'To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.' She is in His presence!
I would like to share a poem I wrote for her during her fight:
Rise Up and Deliver Lord
The painful night begins anew
Rise up and deliver LORD
In faith she reaches out to You
O rise up and deliver
You came to set the captive free
Rise up and deliver LORD
Restore the health that used to be
O rise up and deliver
In broken sobs she calls Your Name
Rise up and deliver LORD
To heal and take away her pain
O rise up and deliver
Her tears flow the whole night through
Rise up and deliver LORD
In sorrow she cries out to You
O rise up and deliver
Healing is from You alone
Rise up and deliver LORD
A promise from the scourging stone
O rise up and deliver
Heal her, yet until You do
Rise up and deliver LORD
Grant Your grace to see her through
O rise up and deliver
With that grace is sweet release
Rise up and deliver LORD
Give to her Your holy peace
O rise up and deliver
