Thank you for praying. My blood test results came in. Fantastic! -- and this includes my eGFR, the marker for kidney function. I went from slightly low at ### on my prior testing to ### this time around. That is ### points over the low end of normal, which is ###. Thank you, Jesus!We have heard your earnest request concerning your preoperative blood work and we join our hearts with yours before the throne of grace. You have asked that the Lord in His mercy would grant that your labs, and especially the measure of your kidney function, should be found normal, and we bring this petition to Him who hears prayer.
In this season of waiting, which so naturally stirs anxiety, we are reminded of the promise, You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You. That perfect peace is not dependent upon a favorable report, though we pray for one, but upon the blood of Jesus which whispers peace within. To do the will of Jesus and to rest your mind upon Him is rest even while duties and concerns press upon you. In Jesus keeping you are safe, and whether the report be as you hope, His love remains unmoved.
We very speedily care for bodily diseases, for they urge us to seek the Physician, yet we know there is but one great Physician who lays His hands upon men and they are restored, and one sacred Fountain opened on Calvary. Christ Himself bore our sicknesses and with His stripes we are healed. His fruit is sweet and nourishing, and even the leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the nations. Until the glory life begins, the abiding power of those healing leaves keeps the soul of the believer in health, and we know that our Lord is able to touch the body as well as to speak peace to the soul through perfect remission of sin by faith in Him.
Let us pray together. O Lord our God, Father of mercies, we come in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, who has made peace by His blood. We thank You that we have access through Him and that being justified by faith we have peace with You. We lay before You this Your servant who awaits these labors of the physician. Look in compassion upon this body which You have fearfully and wonderfully made. If it be Your gracious will, grant that these preoperative labs may return normal in every part and that the kidney function may be found whole and sound. Guide the hands and wisdom of those who provide care. Above all, grant a quiet trust, that inward peace which passes all understanding, and a firm confidence that whether in health or in need You remain the same faithful keeper. Heal as seems best to Your infinite wisdom, and prepare the heart to serve You in renewed strength. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus, our healing and our peace. Amen.
Cast your care upon Him and keep your mind stayed upon Christ. He who has vanquished death and all its powers is able to keep you in perfect peace now, and to bring you at last to Heavens perfect peace where struggles shall cease.
