Special Request for Prayers from Jon..

Jon has asked that we all pray specifically for him tonight and tomorrow..he says that today he was in a lot of pain...right now he's at an 8.5 as he heads off to sleep...hoping the Norco kicks in..he's REALLLLY worried about tomorrow...he's afraid its going to be too much to bare..this pain that he's in...PLEASE pray that the pain will NOT overtake him...he's very nervous about this..the pain continues to rise each time it gets better..it will be better for 2 days then it rises to a higher level..then the doctor raises his dosage amount..he's currently on baclofen, nuerotin, and norco for his pain...
it's really so hard to listen to your husband who is suffering...pray for himself..tears are gushing down my face right now...this is really hard...i feel like we can totally handle the physical part of this..the wheelchair..the lifestyle change..etc..but the pain..its too much..i feel so totally helpless...i wish i could have it for 5 minutes to relieve him from it..i cant imagine what its like to have the inside of your body on fire like he does..
please...as the wife of such a special, kind hearted, gentle, tender, generous, gracious and honorable man..please help...
he says he was so very tired during all his PT sessions..the doctor said it would take a couple more days for his body to adjust and not be tired..thats not very encouraging when your trying to work hard to get better! But that is what is infront of us to deal with..so that is what we'll do AND use Heavenly Father to help us..thats all i or anyone else can do..but what amazing power that can do when used in full force and with even fuller faith..the faith of thousands around this nation to help jon...you will never ever know the humbliness and gratitude that is in my heart right now...to know there are so many people here on the Earth that are praying and all those on the other side...to feel like EACH and EVERY one of you is standing in line with open arms...
i have to cry for a few minutes..then gather my thoughts..i dont cry because i do not know why this is happening to jon or us..but i cry because of the suffering jon has to endure..yet that suffering is not without purpose..there is purpose in everything..even suffering..
this explains what i believe with all my heart is taking place:
At times, in God's remodeling of our lives, it is required that we go to the outer limits of our faith, when all we can do is hang on, trusting that He knows what is best for us, even when we feel bruised and battered by life. We may be surprised, even confused at what is happening, but He is not. God, the Omniscient One, who comprehends all things past, present, and future, knows full well how we will cope with adversity and tribulation. Though He knows us perfectly, and loves us completely, His foreknowledge does not impinge on our agency because, as we approach our trials, we are free to choose one course of action or another. Our decisions are made in the light of our knowledge, not His. We do not know what He knows. God takes our decisions into account so that His tutoring proceeds as it should, and His purposes—to help us grow spiritually and become more like Him—are not frustrated. Thus "we know that all things work together for good to them that love God."
i also believe this to be SO VERY TRUE!! this has happened again and again in my life..
'You must learn to walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness; then the light will appear and show the way before you'"
these were taking off the LDS living website..they seemed to both touch me at this time in which i am suffering..i can only hold onto my faith, my testimony of the knowledge of the truths that i know..not truths that i believe in..but truths that i know..
i will contiue to hold to my faith..and PLEAD with the Lord and WEARY him with my prayers..this is all part of the test..to learn to rely on the Lord and come to Him in times of need..please plead and weary the Lord with me for jons sake..
