Context: Today I’m in London again, for further specialised hospital tests. These trips are a big challenge, because of my limited mobility and chronic fatigue. There’s something good to look forward to, though, as I’ve sent for all the basics I need to start learning the craft of making rosaries. If there’s any news worth reporting, I’ll include it when the time comes.
Following the prayers posted here for the last two days, today’s strikes a more optimistic note. It continues to build on the recent, recurring theme of inner healing:
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41; NIV).
My flesh is weak,
My mind is scarred,
My heart is crushed,
My soul, afraid;
And yet, my spirit
Leaps with joy
Because you love me:
Lord, I’m saved!
God’s love toward us is great, God’s faithfulness, eternal (Psalm 117:2; TIB).
You are the God who saves me (Psalm 25:5; NLT).
