I have just returned from a one week stay in the hospital for a blood clot in my leg. It's gonig to take four to six months for that to dissolve. This is a time of apprehension about thinning my blood too much, or even part of the clot breaking off and gong to my heart or lungs. Some of you reading this meditation might also be in medical treatment and uncertainty of your health in the future, or maybe some other loss in your life, so I share this prayer with you to a loving and healing God:
Loving and healing God, thank you for being with us in our times of sickness or loss. You have promised that even in the face of death, you would not desert us, but would give us healing and your comforting presence, as King David prayed so long ago; "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death we need not fear, for you are with us." We face an uncertain future with confidence because we know you will be with us every step of the way. Thank you, gracious and loving God for giving us this assurance in your holy Word and in the life of Jesus, your Son and our Lord. May we never cease to praise your Name and to walk in fellowship with You. Amen.
