Love the hippo by the way

.
Heavenly father I pray right now that OFM would be aware of your presense and sense your will for his life. That it does not include hurt and pain but that you have a plan for him.
OFM you need to read Jeremiah 29 v 11 and really take it to heart. "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"
I prayer that this pain shall just disapate and go in the name of Jesus and the cause of this pain whatever it may be, will go.
I pray that you will reveal to OFM your plans for His life and the directions you want him to take step by step each day. I prayer that OFM would just sense your great love for him and that he would be at peace knowing that you are watching over him.
Hi i thought I would share this with you - hope you dont mind.
7 years ago I become really ill with an oveactive thyroid - graves disease. My levels were so high they were off the scale and could not be measured at one point. For nearly 3 years I had to go every 6 weeks to the hospital for checks and inbetween times, go to my own doctor for blood tests. It was so wearing and I got really fed up of feeling ill all the time.
I had to take beta blockers to slow my heart rate down - my resting heart rate was over 100 beats per minute and just a simple thing like walking around the house made it shoot up way to high I later found out that I was at risk of having a heart attack. I developed a goiter where your throat swells, tremers, hot sweats, could not sleep at night due to palputations and a whole host of other symptons, including problems with my liver function. The medication given to me by the hospital did not work too well, they just could not get the balance right so at times I swung the other way and developed an underactive thyroid.
Anyway several times the doctors raised the possibility of radioactive iodine treatment which would basically have destroyed my thyroid function and then I would have been underactive for the rest of my life. But I just felt that God did not want this for me. It was not a cure, it would just have created a different illness which from their perspective was easier to treat.
Anyway one day I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired and while I had prayed about this before, this time I really meant business and I think I was at an end of myself. I really prayed to God about the whole situation and I just felt that God had answered my prayer, even though physically I did not immediately feel any different.
Well the next time I went to hospital a few weeks later, the doctor told me my levels were the best they had seen, and I was starting to feel better also. From that point on things began to change as I continued to improve. It was not an overnight miracle, but it was definately a God moment as the healing process continued. For the last 4 years I have been completely free of this awful illness without any lasting side effects and with my thyroid gland intact and functioning normally.
Instant miracles can and do happen but I have since heard many testimonies where God moves over a situation and it gradually comes together. You need to keep praying, pressing in and trusting and seek Gods guidance no matter what.
Bless you.
