"Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You."
Psalm 33:20-22
"The Lord is our help and our shield" - that was what I was proclaiming in the early morning (around 5am) after David was woken up by bad dreams of the deceased and indian spirits. Moments before he woke up to tell me about the "attack", I heard him praying in tongues. Praise the Lord for God has given us spiritual weapons for spiritual battle - to pull down strongholds, cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. I also recalled Joshua being afraid as he was trying very hard to go to sleep last night. I prayed with him to allay his fears. Praise the Lord, relief always comes when we call upon the name of our Lord Jesus. Once again, was reminded to:
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." - 1 Peter 5:8-11
David will be going for another medical checkup tomorrow. He had a skin biopsy done yesterday to check if the rashes on his back was caused by GVHD. Really hope and pray that he does not need to be given steriods which may trigger another round of hiccups. Thank God, his diarrhoea has stopped but he still has some abdominal discomfort, periodic nausea and poor appetite due to the drugs he is required to take daily. Pray that he be free from all discomfort and that he is able to have good night sleep.
Praying with hope in Christ,
