Please Pray For My Mother

This is the face of the woman I love more than any other woman on the face of the earth: my mother, Julia McKay.

This is also the face of the woman who is currently at the top of my prayer list, and I’m writing to plead for your prayers for her, too.

For the past five months, Mother has had a severe case of shingles. Shinges so bad that your jaw would drop and your eyes would fill with tears if you saw them (which is exactly how seeing them affected me). Shingles so bad that the pain has completely debilitated her days and robbed her sleep at night.

Mother’s doctors are absolutely baffled. They’ve tried all of the usual remedies to no avail. And when they finally found a pain medication that significantly relieved her pain, the side effects of that drug caused her to lose her sight in one eye. This may or may not be a temporary condition.

This week, Mother has an appointment with a specialist, and this is where you come in. Would you please add my mother to your prayer list? Would you ask God to give this new doctor wisdom to help her? And most of all, would you please pray for my mother’s healing?

Mother is 77 years old, and she’s the primary caretaker for her 94-year-old mother (who lives in her own home right behind my mother’s house). My daddy has been wonderful during mother’s illness, but it’s taken a toll on him, too. He hurts for her, and it’s very hard for him to see her in so much pain.

Mother is a very strong Christian, and I know she is drawing on God’s grace daily. But she’s exhausted in every way possible. She needs your prayers. And so does my daddy. So, thank you for praying.

There’s one more thing I want to ask you to do: get a shingles shot. Yes, I know, the immunization is expensive. But trust me, if you could see my mother’s shingles, you’d realize that it’s worth every, single penny.

Bless you, precious sister, for allowing me to share my heart with you. Your intercession for my sweet mother means more than you’ll ever know to me. I’ll keep you posted about her in the coming days.

“Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” James 5:16 NLT

I love you!

    I will be praying for your mom that she will be completely healed from the shingles. I will pray for the doctor for the wisdom to completely heal your mom. I will pray for you, your father, and your whole family that you all remain strong during this hard time. May God cover you and your family with love, complete healing and complete patience and to know that your mom is and will be in great care by God. Love you, sister!

    Laurie, I know what it is to suffer shingles and I am so sorry that your Mom is going through such a tremendous battle with them. The thing that ultimately seemed to help most was steroid injections given by a dermatologist in Fort Worth at the site of my shingles. Then follow up with a tranquilizer prescribed for me by the same dermatologist taken at bedtime for a couple of months. The pain finally decreased, the only reminder I’ve had is redness after a shower in the same pattern as the shingles had taken across my chest and around to my back.. I am thankful for the lesson that the Holy Spirit taught me during this time. A lesson of complete, unrelenting dependence on Him.

      Such an encouragement to hear your testimony, Dee. I’m sorry you’ve suffered with shingles (you’re so young, too), but so grateful to read your words. I’ll pass your note on to my mother. What a blessing hearing from you! Love!

    Laurie, I will be praying for your Mom and for the wisdom for the new doctor. My Mom had shingles, and they are absolutely horrible and debilitating. My Mom also had been robbed of sleep. They did finally go away, but they were very difficult to deal with while she had them, and they seemed to last forever! He will get you and your Mom through this – I promise! Much love to you and your family this holiday season. Hopefully they will be more tolerable at least by Christmas.

    Laurie, I met your mom over 25 years ago when I went to church with your brothers and was friends with them. Your mom was so nice to me and we visited a time or two when your parents hosted some youth fellowships. I will be praying for comfort and healing for your sweet mom and for wisdom for the specialist she’ll be seeing. I’ve seen 2 of my family members suffer so with shingles and it’s not pleasant to see them endure so much pain.

      Wow, Terri! What an unexpected joy it was to read your note. Thank you for sharing your memories of my Mother, but thanks especially for your prayers on her behalf. I’m curious, though. Which church were you a member of? I’d love to know. God bless you, sweet sister!

    Laurie…I am praying for your mom. What a horrible thing to last for so long. Bless her heart. My dad had shingles a few years back and it was horrible. Yes, I would encourage people too to get the vaccination. Love to you and your mom. I love the sweet picture of her! It makes me miss my mom and the miles between us seem even bigger.

    Thanks for the reminder! Sister and I seem to share some of the same ailments.
