Jesus, not me

Three stages

servantGod Thoughts hope, prayer, sickness 1 Comment

I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.

– James Hudson Taylor

This is an amazing quote and gives me great hope for some very difficult situations that are going on right now.

Please pray for a little girl named Teagan who is very very sick, currently in critical condition at the hospital in a medical comma. She’s had seizures all her life and last week a 2.5hr seizure prompted her parents, good friends of ours, to bring her to the hospital where a CT scan revealed a swollen brain; she also has pneumonia. She is the most beautiful little girl, and she is not even five and she desperately needs our prayers. Please pray for the doctors to have wisdom to figure out what is causing the seizures (they’ve never figured it out), pray for strength for the family, and pray for complete healing in Jesus’ Name for little Teagan. Right now it is impossible, but we’re praying for done, that Teagan can be used by God as a testimony of His grace, kindness, and mercy.

A great example is the man who was blind from birth. When asked who had sinned to cause that blindness, Jesus said that no one had sinned, but that he had been born this way to demonstrate the power of God (John 9:1-11). I hope and pray and believe that it is the same for little Teagan, that her long life would be a testimony of the power of God.
