Today I received an email for a person whose son is critically ill. He has been sick for a long time and I have seen him many times in the hospital. When I read her note I took time to pray. At such times I wish I could take the pain away. I never know exactly what to do or what to say. I feel my limitations keenly when I face situations where I really can do nothing.
Admitting I find myself helpless I not only humbling but a time to acknowledge the One who is over us all. God is the only One who can help us in our helpless moments. I know that He does work through others and that others can pull us through many deep waters. However, only God can truly bring us peace and joy.
So, today I pray for all who are in need of comfort and healing. I will do my best to represent God but I know I am not God. I am praying that God will work through me. As always I have to let God’s Spirit not only be in me but released through me.
