As I write this blog, I am asking God for strength
today. A dear family member is facing
some uncertainties. We are all praying
that God will provide our family with the strength we need to face this
situation with grace and confidence.
God has been gracious to my family many times over the
years. Last year was a lesson in His
strength as we walked through the valley of death with my mom and then dealt
with my dad’s health issues. So many
times God simply had to carry us through the day because we did not have the
strength to make it.
Maybe I am being silly here but I find it very hard to
admit that sometimes I want to question why God does the things He does in our
lives. My family is a strong Christian
family. In our family we have deacons,
pastors, missionaries, faithful church members, and even those who are dealing
with the call to ministry. Why should WE
have to go through struggles? Then God
in His mercy and grace reminds me that no one escapes the struggles of this
life. His very own son, Jesus, suffered
and faced uncertainties. Jesus even
prayed for strength as He faced his final hours.
So girlfriends, I am asking that you pray for my family
right now. My heart is heavy for this
precious family member. We need our
Heavenly Father’s strength and wisdom as we face what lies ahead.
How has God
strengthened you during a difficult time?

Thank you, Vickie. I needed this so bad today. I could have wrote it myself. Our family as well is dealing with a lot. Praying for your family and would ask that you pray for ours as well. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one tempted to question God when times are tough.
Praying, friend!
Thanks Sara for your words. It is always nice that there are others who also question God in tough times.
Pat, thank you my sweet friend. I am praying for a speedy recovery for you.
