FREE!!!!

Psalm 146:7
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free,

Heavenly Father, our gracious and most wonderful and powerful God. YOU ARE GOD!!!!!!!!
Father, I praise You for all things, I lift Your name on high and present myself to You for Your work, Your will and for Your doing. Lord, You have set me free. Though I may have small minor aches, I know longer have chronic pain in my back, I no longer have doctor appointments, I know longer need therapy, Father, the different levels of this ordeal where many and lengthy, but Father, You have set me free!
I feel better than I have in years, my sleep is coming back, my rest is coming back, my life is coming back, and You Father, You alone are responsible and at the wheel.
I found discouragement at times, I allowed depression to find me at other times, and then there were times when nothing made me happy or joyful. But You Father; I never gave up on You, I never doubted You, I argued with You at times, but I never thought that Your love for me ran dry, or stopped. No matter the level of my thoughts, or deeds, or actions, or positions did I ever lose my faith and trust in You. You are marvelous and wonderful beyond all measure.
I eventually took this problem on with the likes of Paul, and let this be a thorn in my side. You humbled me through it, Father, You broke me...... You broke me and rebuilt me, and for this as for all things I praise You Father. I pray that You continue to mold me in the image You have planned for me.
You are the One Father, there is nothing You cannot do, Father, I leave my life with You daily, I thank You for giving my life back to me and my family. Thank You Father, for allowing such talented Doctors and therapists to do Your work. Thank You Father, for wonderful family and friends with encouragements and help.
Father, mostly, I want to sincerely thank You from the bottom of my heart for my lovely and cherished wife and our two sweet and big hearted kids. Father, You handle all things justly, and are in control, but I cannot imagine going through this ordeal without them. My wife suffered with me, every step of the way, she saw me down, she saw me in pain, she saw almost giving up, but she never wavered, she never faltered, her faith in You was so evident. You have allowed such a "rock" in her for me. I leaned on her, hard at times, but she never buckled. She lifted me up when I couldn't,(spiritually,emotionally), Oh Father, she never gave up and she never showed any signs of doing so. Oh, how I praise You Father, for her ......................
Our wonderful boys, .... what treasures they are. They too saw me down and almost out, they see their day as I saw mine, as big as all out doors, and stronger than anyone, and they witnessed me on the floor in tears and pain, they saw their dad scream and suffer in pain more than any child should. Those two sweet innocent little guys gave some of the best medicine in the world, they gave the medicine of laughter and joy. Father, there is a special joy that comes from our children that cannot be duplicated by adults, their little smiles and expressions brought such joy to me and lifted me up always at the right time, I know Your hand was on them and me. Thank You Father, thank You for lighting my life and my heart with all three of them.....
My wonderful wife Lorna, our two boys, Wyatt and Jack, are my life and Oh, how I thank You Lord.
This prayer of praise is for You Lord, is for Your honor and glory, It is all in the name of Your gracious and wonderful most high and most mighty Son, Jesus Christ, my Savior, my Redeemer, where my salvation lies, and where I find my comfort and strength. In His name I pray.......
Amen


(I couldn't get this song out of my head today:)


Through You the blind will see; Through You the mute will sing; Through You the dead will rise; Through You all hearts will praise; Through You the darkness flees; Through You my heart screams, I am free! I am free to run, (I am free to run); I am free to dance (I am free to dance); I am free to live for you (I am free to live for you); I am free (I am free); Chorus: I am free, I am free, I am free to run (I am free to run); I am free to dance (I am free to dance); I am free to live for you (I am free to live for you, I am free (I am free) Yes I am free
