One of my fellow teachers, Scott, is in what appears to be his final days on earth. He has been battling a brain tumor since August. Without a miracle, Scott will most likely meet the Lord very soon. Brings back so many memories.......
Lord, please be with Scott right now as he walks this path - the valley of the shadow of death. It appears you will meet him face to face very soon... and that is an amazing, yet frightening and saddening thought. Lord, right now flood Scott with peace. His body is in such turmoil... touch his soul in a way only you can. Death is horrible... there are no words to describe the agony of death. Yet, we know you have overcome it! Remind Scott of your incredible love and care even in these moments.
And Lord, please wrap your arms of love and comfort, grace and strength, around Amanda and Cheryl. I've been there..... there is nothing like watching someone you love struggle in between life and death. The agony is indescribable. Fill them with assurance and confidence that they will see Scott again. Bless them with peace that cannot be explained except by your presence in their lives. Lift their eyes to YOU! Give them the strength to face each day supporting and encouraging Scott.
DEATH STINKS! SEPARATION STINKS! BUT WE HAVE HOPE AND WE REST IN THAT HOPE!
We leave everything your hands, and trust you to work your PERFECT will in this!
We love you, Lord.
Amen
