Grateful For You

 

     Our family is humbled and grateful for all of you and your prayers for Gavin and for all of us. The power of prayer is real and we feel it. Several of you shared personal stories with me of your own challenges with children and grandchildren. Our testimonies matter and we learn from one another.

     Please let me know how I can pray for you. God will use everything we are going through for His glory. We can’t see the future, but He can and He provides a way for us.  I love thinking of God working ahead of our fear and worry.

The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you. He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8

     It is impossible to remain completely fear and worry-free when our kids and grandkids face crises. We want to make everything ok, to heal, to find strength, to find the right words. God is so far above us. His ways are higher than ours. The tapestries of our lives will not make sense completely until we are in heaven. In the meantime, remember, He is in control and His purposes are good.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8;28

     How do we find good when we feel so lost and confused? It comes down to trust. Trust and remain in Him. Abide…just abide…

If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. John 15:7

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 1 John 4:13

     In this crazy life, there are times we need to accept, to yield, to abide. Let’s trust the One we love.

Father,

Help us to abide in Your love, to remain firm in our foundation of faith, to trust You when we don’t see the answers. We ache for Your peace and hope. Guide us to the right place and give our sweet Gavin complete healing. Thank You for all of the love surrounding us right now.

In Jesus name,

Amen
