"Who (or what) shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall it be tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword?" Romans 8:35
Not only will tribulation not separate us from God's love, it will reveal the depth of it. I was fearful of this truth! I thought life without tribulation would be preferable. I wanted smooth sailing, with my self at the helm. Oh God, I acknowledged that You were the water but I wanted to be the boat (float on my own strength) and I also wanted to be the captain (steer life in my chosen direction). Aah, but You, through this tribulation,have shown me a better way! To let You... be the wind which directs me.... the vessel that keeps me from sinking and the vast ocean that surrounds me with wisdom and power!
I pray this morning for your wisdom and healing power to be extended to Jacy. Help her to come to you in her tribulation. Guide Deb and the Dr.s ~ with the right words, the right diagnosis and peace. Thank You for Your growth, Your plan, for us all. ~Amen.
