Prayers for Little Brother

Cough Cough.....

Sounds heard around our house over the past week.

Sam, Michael, and Isaac have all fallen victim to upper respiratory illnesses this week. Michael was running a fever and had absolutely no energy for several days. Thankfully he is on the mend and almost finished taking his antibiotic.

However, little Isaac is now sick! He is dealing with a croup-like cough and breathing issues. After taking him to the doctor, he is now on breathing treatments for the next week.

Tonight while putting Michael to bed, we said our prayers as usual and said a special prayer for Isaac. It went a little something like this:

"Jesus, Thank you. Thank you for Isaac.
Please help him feel better. Please take his sick away.
In Jesus name, Amen."

Oh.... to pray like a child and know that we are praying to our healer! As I watch Isaac struggle this week with such a minor illness, I think about parents that are watching their children who are terminally ill and struggling to hang on to life. Jesus, be near those families tonight. Amen.
