Today I found out that a friend of mine passed away. He had been sick for a couple of weeks but I never dreamed he would die. He was a gentle soul and donated many hours of life to serve others. I had been praying for days that he would recover and be allowed to live a full and productive life. I know that death comes to all but at this moment I wish Ted was given more life. I feel pain for his widow and sons and daughter. I talked with his wife and she is obviously in shock. Shock is really a good word to describe how I feel too.
So, now I find myself pouring out my heart to God. Why did this happen and why now? I understand that now Ted is a rest and ‘in a better place.’ But still I wonder. In the midst of my struggling I know that I must trust God to know best. Despite my feelings of lost my faith has taught me to trust.
So, at this moment, I am asking God for His help in trusting. I pray healing will come to this family and to me. I am asking that God’s love and comfort will come to all in their time of need.
