Facing the Unexpected

Precious in the sight of the LORD [Is] the death of His saints.
Psalm 116:15


Sometimes it is difficult not to ask, "God, why?" In the here and now, life often takes unexpected twists and turns leaving us with broken hearts and unanswered questions. Death still leaves an empty hole and sorrow. Separation makes us ache deep within. Questions come, especially when the loved one is young or leaves behind small children. We want to understand but are left with having to trust that God knows all things and is in control. We are left with His loving arms wrapped around us, looking forward to a new day and a great reunion. We are left hoping in the promises of God.

Please pray for our friend, Samantha, and her little daughter as they say goodbye to a husband and daddy. Please pray for us that we know how to give comfort and offer hope in this time of sadness.

  2. Martha you always say just the right thing on your blog I can't imagine you not knowing exactly what to do and say, but I pray that the Lord will give great wisdom.
