Requesting a Corporate Prayer 4 Susie & Brendon

Brendon was rushed to the hospital last night with what they thought was possibly a heart attack. It turns out that it is a blood clot on his lung that they are treating. He is stable but needs the road opened. Please pray that the Lord remove the hurdles in his treatment path, so that he can make his way towards a total cure that I know is awaiting him. And pray for Susie, that she have the peace and stability that can only come from one God as she holds Brendon's hand, moving over the bumps. Lord, I ask that you magnify Your name and do these things so that no man can deny that this is the work of the saving strength of Your right hand....
My husband was on the brink of death...I knew that despite words of encouragement and comfort from some staffers, that the outlook was very grim. I was told so by some in so many words. I was also told that IF he left, he would need to be placed in a rehab facility. But Glory Be to God, he walked out and is home. Sometimes, the Lord allows things to become so very dark-so there is no doubt in anyone's mind WHO is responsible for the healing and the outright miracle. One of the surgical residents said to me before we departed, that he credited me and my will (90%) for his recovery and I laughed. I told him I couldn't take the credit. The Glory belonged to the most high God who works for the good of those who love Him.
I finally came to fully understand Isiah 40:31 and 2 Corinthians 12:9, which I didn't fully understand before my stay at Presby. A human being, without the support of the Lord could have never done the things I did, stayed awake the hours that I stayed awake, keeping my patience and peace. And I thank His servants here in this forum who stood in the gap for us. It took several days of me trying to navigate the murky waters by myself before I was broken and turned my husband over to Him, much like Abraham.
Mr. Marshall wrote somewhere in his profile that we should pray for God's will and not pray for something and when we didn't receive it-to think we had somehow failed in faith...That's how I was initially taught as a Christian and it often worked for me in magnificient ways and when it didn't, I felt so deficient, so much like a failure. I thought back to his comment as much as I didn't want to. I knew His will may be very different from my own...but was afraid to acknowledge it. But I prayed for His will to be done and meant it-as much as it crushed me to my very core to do so. I placed my husband on the altar for Him and He gave him back. I never cried so hard... Mr. Marshall-you opened my eyes to something very significant that I feel the Lord wanted me to know. Thank you for that. I know when I first read that comment, I tried to throw a blanket over it quick and move on. It really frightened me.
I apologize for digressing away from Susie and Brendon, but I wanted to properly give Him the glory that He deserves and I want others to know that even when you're getting beat up and slapped around, its possible to walk away unscathed and even possible to have peace like a river in the middle of a raging war....and as a matter of fact, With God, all things are possible.
There are very tragic things that happen to believers and sometimes we don't understand and maybe will understand in time, or not get the answers until we go home to Him ourselves. And for sure, maybe it isn't the ones left behind that the plan was for, but perhaps it was a plan for those who have been taken.
I believe in my spirit very strongly that Brendon will serve as an example of the Lord's goodness, mercy and grace. Please lift him up at this time as I lift all of you individually whether I speak to you directly or not. I have become more of a praying warrior since I arrived on this site than I have ever been in my life and it increased during my time at Presby where there was so much pain and anguish...people waiting for news about their most loved ones who were very ill...I walked around with a notepad, because the names and situations were too numerous for my feeble memory.
Pray him up, everyone. Pray him up. I beg you all to petition the Lord for Brendon's total cure and healing and to clear the way for him to get there in one piece/peace.
God Bless u all.

I lift Brendon up in prayer.
I lift Brendon up in prayer. I've always known it has been God that has brought me through the worst illness of my life. I give Him all the glory and I praise His Holy name. He has been with me-holding my hand and gave me peace that is beyond anything imaginable. I knew from the time I was diagnosed I would be alright, whether in this life or not,The fact I am NED still, after three years, is an example of God's merciful grace.
God doesn't always answer prayers the way we want, but He can give us peace in excepting His decision. God is always willing to give us comfort during the storms of life. I pray for each and everyone of the people on this site. God is still in the miracle making business. Special prayers are going up for Brendon and Susie!

I continue to pray for Brendon and Susie on a daily basis
It certainly seems like Brendon and Susie's faith and perseverance are being tested as they go through this journey.
I pray that God will restore Brendon's strength and health to a point where he is once again a candidate for surgery and that God wrap Susie in his loving arms and give her peace and support as she supports Brendon in this battle.
