My right hand, arm, and a good proportion of the right hand side of my body is completely covered with a massive port wine stain birthmark. and for the past couple of years, the numbness creeping into my hand is getting worse, even when its warm, my hand turns blue, and sometimes purple, the discomfort is so bad that I hardly dare touch anything,its been a blight on my life since childhood, its like the red hand of Ulster, on the Northern Ireland flag, the numbness just feels weary at the moment.

Father, I ask you to send Comfort to Michael and relieve the discomfort of this condition.  I ask also, Father, that you will let Michael see himself as you see him.  As he truly is, Lord......and not just the body he lives in.  When your children are hurting, I know You are near.  Let him feel your presence now, Lord.   And in Christ, encourage and raise him up.    Thank you.  amen

Oh, Michael, I will pray for you.  I know the Red Hand of Ulster oh, so well having lived there for a number of years!

I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this condition and I pray that you will get some relief from this malady.

Amen to Nita's prayer!

Guess what you two? For the first time in months, much of the swelling has gone down, my hand is moreorless its natural red colour, and for the first time in months I can touch and hold things without the much of the discomfort I've been having, thanks for all that prayer, its done something.
   You know what the real miracle is? Me asking for prayer in the first place, its actually the first time I've ever asked anybody to pray for me, I thought I could go it alone, I can't, last night the discomfort got so bad it got me down, but hallelujah I decided to give it a go, and you know asking, actually got results, praise God for that.

What a lovely post!

Thanks for telling us.  I'm sorry that you've had this condition for so long.  I will continue to pray for you, Michael.



(Aren't you up late?)

I am also praying for you Michael.

Yes, thanks for letting us know. 

I'm so glad you asked for prayer, and that the Lord moved to give you relief.
See....I guess He had it planned the whole time.   Blessings,  Nita

I too am praying Michael

Michael - I know you already know, but I just can't forbear to mention it - prayer did nothing for you, but our Lord did great things!  I thank Him for that, and I pray He'll continue to heal and continue to move you to ask for prayer - it's a blessing of great proportion to the ones praying.
