Mariel,
 
I send my prayer heavenward for you to have a successful and pleasant experience in both traveling to and from the Mayo Clinic for your treatment and during the procedure. God can use those who have devoted their lives to help cure the illnesses that they see before them. Trust in the Lord. That is the word I am receiveing now for you, Mariel, trust with every fiber of your body and mind. Remember Jesus could not perform miracles of healing at some places because there was no faith or trust in Him.
 
It is not really that different from many other situations. We trust that the automobiles will continue to stop at the red lights, drive on their side of the road and stop when we have the right of way. We trust the airplane pilot will know what to do to get the plane safely to its destination. We trust that the weather will not get violent and threaten to destroy us with a tornado or tsunami.
 
Likewise, we need to assert our strong and growing faith and trust in God Who looks after us as we await our glorification and taking away into His heaven. If it were not for Him you could not breathe or take even a single step or move your fingers, arms or legs. He is ever with you and cares for you. Do not let that fact escape you in the distractions that the present evil world throws up in front of your eyes.
 
Here are a few words form God to help you keep focused on what really matters, Mariel. Know that I love you and expect you will come through this experience with flying colors. Godspeed Mariel!
 
With love,
 
Robert
