His Health

I'm so lucky in this area. Not only does Nathan care very much about his health, eat right, and exercise regularly, but he's also got me on the bandwagon. I have a much farther way to go, but besides all the obvious benefits, it gives us something else in common and we get to spend time together in physical activities that I don't dread anymore ; D

That being said, I have NO idea what could come up in the future and it plagues me. I hate the thought of him getting cancer or in an accident. O man, the thought of him dying is the worst. I know that's God's control and will, but knowing that doesn't settle me. Trusting that God loves me and Nate and wants the best for us really helps but still, . .. I don't want him to die first! O man, especially if we have kids one day. I have to really check myself on whether or not I love the gift more than the Giver and how I would feel if God did decide to take Nate home.

      Dear Jesus, I pray for Your hand upon Nathan. I pray that every part functions the way You designed it to. Keep sickness, disease and physical harm far from him and keep him strong, healthy and able to preform to the best of his abilities. Help his sleep to be restful and help him fall asleep more quickly both at night and at nap time.  Thank You for watching over us and being there for us. I pray that Nathan lives a long and healthy life and when death does come, that it's accompanied by peace and not unbearable suffering and agony. Thank you, Lord, that You will be there to welcome him into Your presence and not a moment before Your appointed hour. Amen.
