in sickness & in health...

Txt2PW: Can y'all pray for us tonight? One child just vomited and I'm freaking out that its a bug.. can you pray that her tummy settles and it's not a bug but if it is that we avoid getting it too? Especially another child! I feel silly asking but I just hate vomiting bugs so much

---

Oh God, we join with that one there tonight,

for one child has just vomited and Mum

is freaking out that its a bug.. that might

be passed to the whole fam'ly, on the run…

Please intervene with insight and with grace

for Mother, and for Dad, and kids today

That one child's tum will settle, that her face

will smile again. And bug, just go away!

And please keep them all safe from kinds of harm,

and evil that would just destroy and kill,

and steal away the good that's theirs. You've armed

them with your word, which they can speak until

it brings about desired outcomes in

the matter of God's world, and in his kids.

All those that hear him speak within the din

(cacophony of life), will open lids

as though from death, or some deep sleeping state,

and come alive with more than mortal breath.

We want to hear your word and not abate,

to come alive before our mortal death.

And this Mum has been open with us here.

She says she's feeling silly just to ask.

Bacteria and viruses "appear"

invisible to us but kill our tasks.

And so with her, we ask you to please bring

your peace of thriving, fullness, to complete.

That with them we will learn to rightly sing,

before we even have new bodies sweet.
