Please pray for focus of spirit as I keep my eyes on Jesus as Healer and Shepherd of my life.
I want my spirit to be at rest as I go on a low residue diet until midnight. You might ask, what is a LRD?
No spicy foods, no high fat or high fibre foods. No raw fruits or vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds or popcorn.
I am allowed to have white toast, cornflakes, soup, meat, bananas, crackers, steamed vegetables, yogurt but must avoid any gas forming foods like broccoli, turnips, and cauliflower. No problem there!
I need to drink at least 8 glasses of water today but avoid all caffeine drinks which can cause bowel spasms. No Tims, no Starbucks, no Second Cup :-(
Please pray for Joyce and I to stay focused on the Spirit of God and the critical need for this cancer surgery and the healing power of Jesus throughout the entire surgery, recovery and treatments.
Some great prayer points from Philippians 4...
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
