31 January 2011 - Praise and Prayer from Robert & Dara Peh

“THE LORD IS GOOD, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him” (Nahum 1:7, KJV).

PRAISE GOD! Like Moses going up to Mount Sinai alone to meet the LORD, Dara has prepared herself to go to the hospital and spend all her time alone in the ward with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in prayer and in the reading of His Word for the next few days. Besides the Bible, we have printed out some hymns for her to bring along to sing praises unto the God of our salvation. Pray that she will have a wonderful time fellowshipping with the Lord. “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him” (Psalm 34:8, KJV).

This morning (31 January), Dara will be admitted to the Singapore General Hospital for a 3 day treatment for thyroid cancer. She will be given high dosage of the radioactive iodine and her body will be radio active for a while. During this period, it’s better for her not to have close contact with people, especially the pregnant women and children under 5 years old. So, she will be confined to a room to herself. No one could visit her, not even her love ones. Yet, the Lord will always be her companion. Pray that she will be fully healed and physically strong after the treatment. God willing, she will be discharged on Wednesday (2 February 2011).

After her 2 thyroids were removed on 8 December 2010, she is not on any medication and is lacking of hormone in her body. Till today, 8 weeks have passed. The lack of calcium and other chemical in her body has caused much cramp on her body and made her out of breath at times and headache and tired easily. Thank God. The day has come for her to go for the treatment. May the Lord grant her a complete recovery!

“He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us” (Psalm 62:6-8, KJV).

Thanks for praying.

Cheers,
Robert, Dara, Evangel & Lin
