A Priesthood Blessing

This is why I am so strong. 

I asked my husband to give me a priesthood blessing before going to have my tests done today (echo today, bone marrow biopsy tomorrow, PET scan on Wednesday). Brother Jesse, from the ward, came over to assist him. For a blessing of healing the sick and afflicted, you should use at least two worthy Melchizedek priesthood holders. They act in the name of God to give you a blessing. These are words directly from our Heavenly Father, for me. And this is why I am able to keep going. This was one of the most beautiful, if not THE most beautiful, blessings I have ever received or heard. I love that I have the gospel in my life.

This blessing is sealed and given by worthy Melchizedek priesthood holders.

• Heavenly Father blesses me with strength and comfort, and especially of healing.
• Of comfort that and the ability to know that my friends and family are around me and that I am one of my Heavenly Father's choice daughters.
• With knowledge and understanding of how much He loves me, wants to be there for me, how much He knows what I am going through.
• He blesses me with the Spirit, with the gospel, so that I can have the comfort I need as I go throughout these upcoming months and struggle against the tiredness and chemotherapy that I will receive and that I will be able to know that He is there and ready to lift me and guide me whenever I need.
• The strength to take care of my kids and family and complete the tasks that are necessary for me.
• The strength to carry on and fight the good fight, no matter how long it is, and that I will be able to not only have the strength physically, but the spiritual strength to keep a good attitude, to be able to not suffer, and to strengthen those around me by my trials and tribulations.
• He blesses me at this time of healing and of love, He blesses me with the knowledge and comfort and strength to know that I will overcome this sickness and that I will be able to resume a normal life and that I'll be able to know that it is through Him and His blessings that I will receive this.
• He blesses me with these blessings at this time because of my faith, because of my obedience and the sacrifices I've made for Him and His gospel.
• The ability and strength and comfort I'll need to continue to be able to continue to sacrifice and to bless the lives of those around me.
• He blesses me with the blessing of comfort in the fact that I will know what I need to do and I will be able to get it done, and that I will be able to lean upon Him in those times.
• Blesses me with these things in and through His son, Jesus Christ.
