For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread. Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh. I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places; I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
For two friends who don’t know You, he is suffering from a cancer of as yet undetermined origin, she as principal caregiver. My prayer is that You will use this very difficult time to bring them to know You as Lord and Savior, as Master and Brother. That You will bring both spiritual and physical healing.
