Praying for Ella

 My friend, Ella has already checked in this morning for brain surgery in Texas. I'm so impressed by the faith of her and her family. She had breast cancer before me and was very encouraging and faithful when I needed my own support back then. She really believed the Lord would heal me. Skipping ahead to this season, she developed a brain tumor and kept it quiet because her daughter Karla was getting married. She didn't want her own issues to take away from that special day.

Today is Ella's special day! The surgeons are preparing for a long surgery to remove this scary, dangerous-looking tumor. But our great physician is the only One in true control. He has plans for her, and to show Himself to those unreachable souls who think they hold life in their hands. We ask that He would remind us all of who He is. The same God who made the earth, the sun and skies made every cell in her body. Please, pray that He would heal every one of those cells now. That He would not only remove the unhealthy ones, but that He would restore them all to function better than ever. May they regenerate as pure, unadulterated cells that live and create more life.

"I shall not die, but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done"--Psalm 117:18.

Let it be.
