"...and I must go through the valley, to stand upon the mountain of God."
Loving God, Gracious Father, I praise You for walking every step of this journey with Karen. I know that many times while walking through this valley, she felt she did not have the strength to go on. But I also know that those were the times You pulled her in, close to Your side, and carried her to a place of peace and rest, ready to stand one more day. Words escape me, dear Father, to express my absolute praise and gratitude for this victory. Your Word is holy and true - You are faithful beyond measure - You transform us every day, whether we willingly participate or not. Thank You for the deep relationship that Karen has formed with You, for her absolute faith and dependence on the only One we can truly rely on - You. May Your blessings continue to flow upon Karen and Mike. Minister to Mike's heart and soul and bring him to full and deep fellowship with You. Praise, praise, praise! In Jesus' name, I pray with humble gratitude for these blessings and those yet to come. Amen.
