Psalm 102:3-11

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. All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse. For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink, because of your indignation and anger; for you have taken me up and thrown me down. My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.

Lord, Betty is suffering from the pains of shingles and sciatica and fearful of taking the pain relief that has been proscribed..I beg You for Your holy relief and for Your power to heal and restore. Give her the strength to carry through and to glorify You in this. Help me to be a loving and supportive husband to her in this difficulty. (Written In August, 2010. Praise the Lord for His healing)
