Request for Prayer

I would like to ask if Eileen Stoddard, my fiance’s mother could be put onto

the prayer list. She has been in ill health for some time but has been in
out of hospital this last few weeks with a collapsed lung. They had been
doing various tests and discovered that it was actually a tumour on her lung
that caused the collapse. This in turn prompted further investigations which
unfortunately just at the weekend have shown that she has got lung cancer
which has spread to her throat and is in the bones at her hip. They have
said the cancer is at an advanced stage. They are going to give her
radiotherapy on Tuesday and are then going to give her a week or two to
gather her strength before they proceed with further treatment.

I would mean a great deal to Eileen, my fiance Douglas and myself and would
give some comfort to know that people are praying for her and Douglas at
this time. Douglas has little other family so it is particularly difficult
for him. I would ask that you pray for not only the health issues but also
for the strength for all of us to cope and for me to support them.

Douglas is also self employed (I also work for him) and it is going to be
particularly difficult to balance work around supporting his mother so I
would also ask for a word of prayer on the issue of us being able to manage
this also.

Thank you for this. God Bless
