Dear Mari, We were in Salisbury last weekend and lit a candle for you in the cathedral. We picked up this prayer, from a New Zealand Prayer Book...
God of the present moment, God who in Jesus stills the storm and soothes the frantic heart; bring hope and courage to Mari and all who wait in uncertainty. Bring hope that you will make them the equal of whatever lies ahead. Bring them courage to endure what cannot be avoided, for your will is health and wholeness; you are God, and we need you.
Hi Mari, Have been thinking of you all day - and I'm so glad this day is behind you now. May you be blessed with deep and refreshing sleep tonight, and great peace. LOTS of love, Judith XX

Hello dear Mari I hope things were not too bad for you today. I hope you had your loved ones there with you, holding your hand through the procedure. I hope you felt Jesus there with you and I will say a prayer that you will sleep well tonight and dream lovely dreams. You are God's own Mari and infinitely dear to Him and so unspeakably precious. Not for one second will he leave you.
