Here is a scripture that I meditate on whenever I felt afraid." So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

Diddo on that scripture. The Lord is your strength! Prayers and blessing for you.

I meditated on Psalm 139. God formed me and knows me inside and out. I am His creation, and my days are numbered by Him. I put myself in His hands everyday, and trusted Him for the outcome of my surgery. My youngest son, who is 24, expressed his fear for me by reminding me of the mortality rate of weight loss surgery patients. I told son that the Lord knows the number of my days, and I trust Him for this surgery. That thought has recently comforted me, as the Lord very suddenly took my 40 year old brother home four weeks ago today. I now take nothing for granted. God is in total control, and He loves each of us tremendously. Hugs, Trish

Thanks all for your very kind responses! I will be using all the inspiration I have received here! Trish, I am so sorry about the loss of your dear brother! I hope you continue to also find joy and peace in his memory. Thanks again all! Hugs! Therese

Jeremiah 29:11 and Ephesians 3:20. Read them...type them out and put on your doorposts or bathroom mirror and memoraize if you haven't already. The Lord is faithful to hear our cries and only He is able to answer them. He did me when I cried out for help with WLS. Read my profile for more info. Iin Christ, Joan M
