What a difference it makes in my attitude when I remember that God is ultimately in control of everything that goes on each day. Would I have any reason to "rejoice and be glad" if I felt that everything just happened by chance? I know it is not just chance that my dad (and our family) is going through this trial. He is teaching us so much about who He is through this experience. I'm so glad that we have a Lord we can trust one hundred percent.
Lord, thank you for another day with my dad. We rejoice in this day for continually restoring Dad's health. Also, thank you today for:
a normal temperature
an improved chest xray
an improved white blood count
that Dad is breathing on his own (although still connected to the ventilator)
that he is responding to commands when the sedation is low
that his vitals are stable
Finally, Lord, we ask you to breathe strength into Dad's lungs, so he can have the breathing tube taken out, which is causing him extreme discomfort and pain.
John
