My family is going through a really rough and scary time right now. The waves of despair and helplessness wash over us like the waves of a tsunami, threatening to carry us out to waters too deep to rise above. There’s no motivation to do every day tasks. There’s no desire to go any place where we may have to talk to someone. We just want to hide and curl up in a ball or retreat into a cocoon, and cry.
We do a lot of crying! But, we also are having to be strong for the babies who don’t understand what is going on, whose routines have been uprooted, who cry for a daddy who can’t be there right now. Our hearts are broken, our brains are like scrambled eggs. We can’t wrap our heads around how we got to this point, so it’s no wonder the little ones can’t.
What we are facing is a huge mountain, too big for any man or machine do flatten. It’s too tall to climb, too scary to even try. The enormity of this mountain is so overwhelming that we find ourselves succumbing to frustration, irritability, doubt, fear, anxiety. How can we possibly have any hope with that big of a mountain standing in the way?
But, God is not just any man. He is the Almighty, the great physician, the creator of the world, including that huge mountain. He is the only one with the ability to move that mountain! So, with bended knee, hands raised high, heads bowed down, we pray for His almighty intervention. We pray He will raise His hands and flatten that monstrous mountain as only He can! We would love for you to join us in praying also. There is never too many voices sending prayers up!
My faith has what has gotten me through so much. I know all things are possible with God. I’ve see that first hand, many times. But, I’m also human and let the sin of doubt and fear find a way to creep in. I ask God to take control, then I want to peak around the corner to see if He needs my help. I am trying to let go of what is in my hand so God can let go of what is in His hand. I really do want to give God all control, as I’m tired, weak, and defeated. This situation can only be handled by God! While you are praying for us, add the prayer that I can let go and let God.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for praying for us! God bless each of you.
