The battle is not ours!

My dad Gary came in this morning with some words of inspiration for the day from 2 Chronicles 20:15, 17, 20a, 21b .

" Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, (surgical situation), for the battle is not yours but God's. You need not fight in this battle; stations yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem (Rebekah and Jason), do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them (surgery), for the Lord is with you. .........put your trust in the Lord your God, and you will be established. Give thanks to the Lord, for His lovingkindness is everlasting."

Hey Beck, I just received your email and I am so sorry. Know that I'll be praying in Jason's upcoming surgery hours and in the days to come. Thanking God for all the ways that He has worked already in getting Jason help on the trail...and trusting He will continue to work: in healing, in comfort, in strength from this day forward. Love you much and love to you and your family...Melissa in Macau

Jason and Rebekah: Our church's love and prayers (and our family's) are with you both. And, God is fighting this battle for you. "Be still and know that [He] is God!" Please let us know if there is any thing we can do to support you and your family. May God grant you the peace, comfort and grace to get through this in a way that glorifies Him and draws you closer to each other and to Our God and Savior! We are with you ... Stan & Jeanine Weber

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10.

You will be in my prayers especially this morning and in the coming days. A sister in the Lord. Carol from Florida

Praying for Jason and your family today and every day! I know that surgery on a loved one can be very stressful.

Hey Becky and Jason, I'm praying for you guys! I pray for His Spirit of peace and healing to surround you and that "...the peace that passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
Hang in there Jason! Great to see you at the wedding, Beck, thanks SO much for coming.
Love,

Dear Becky and family, Praises for this technology which enables friends to learn of a need and join you instantly in prayer and support; we will be praying today as God guides the surgeons' hands and each day forward for total healing. Thank you for your example of faith and trust in the midst of circumstances; here is a hug from Casper; have Gary K deliver it for us. PK and Gary L
