Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.

S ~ But you have not honored the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny! Daniel 5:23

O ~ Who holds your breath in His hand. Controls destiny - not just is aware of destiny. He does not just set destiny in motion and hopes it will work out - He controls our destiny. He gives us breath and controls the world around us. How great is our God.

A ~ Today I think of Audrey's dad ~ struggling for breath. So many tests  - so hard to breathe. So many complications that are simply getting worse. COPD - weight gain - age - nutrition - exercise. So many factors that contribute to his struggle for breath. And yet, none of them have the final say. God, who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny, has the final say.

P ~ Lord, please pour our Your grace and strength upon Joe. May He know of your nearness, and of your healing touch. Please lift the weight of this disease off his lungs - that he might breath easy.  I pray that for all the days of his destiny that remain, may his life be easy - not a struggle. Easy breathing, easy sleeping, easy. No stress, no conflict, no frustration. Instead, a destiny of joy and comfort and satisfaction knowing that he is loved by You, and by his family. Strengthen Nonno I pray.
