Mom requested that you pray that she would be able to cough, that getting up from bed would be less daunting, that she would get some rest, and that her abdominal pain would be reduced.
Mom said, "I enjoy hearing from all of you and yes the Lord is sufficient." Mom heard some news today that made her a little anxious, but she was reminded of Peter in his experience walking on water and footnote 32 of Mt. 14:32 (recovery version) "This miracle testifies not only that the Lord is the Ruler of the heavens and the earth but also that He takes care of the hardships endured by His followers as they follow Him on the way...whatever the situation, He was able to provide for their need and carry them through the hardships." Eventually they don't need Him to appear to them physically because "whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Pet. 1:8).
