A. hasn't eaten in a week. She is wafer-thin, weak and in horrific agony. Even in the morphine doesn't seem to penetrate the deepest crevices of pain. She lies in her hospital bed, moaning, only semi-conscious.
Lord Jesus, show yourself to be the Good Shepherd that You are, by gathering this lamb in your arms and leading her to greener pastures. Just a year ago she saw you beckoning to her. Now may she see you open the gate, as she awaits her full redemption.
The birth pangs are too hard! Shorten her labor and deliver her from the evil of this cancer. Bring her to that place where there are no more tears, where Your peace replaces all pain.
In your name we pray,
Amen
