Lord will You?

Hi friend,
Greg and I are carrying a heaviness in our hearts. Too frequently we learn of another friend or family member facing a harsh health challenge. My brother has received a devastating diagnosis. Our niece battles unrelenting and debilitating health conditions. And their caregivers are selflessly and with enormous love helping them the best they can, while feeling overwhelmed, worried and exhausted.
These are the moments that bring into perspective what matters most in our lives
and what doesn't.
These are the moments that shine a spotlight on the trivial things we allow to rattle us and spark impatience or anxiety.
These are the moments when we call on God—
with the hardest questions and the deepest pleas.
Does some of this resonate with you?
Are you a caregiver or needing care?
Are you in a heavy or confusing season?
Or facing a deep disappointment or loss?
Jeremiah 29:12 says, "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you."
We're trying to bring all our fears, our confusion, our grief and our questions to God. Even though we know He's always with us, aware and listening— sometimes it's hard to sense His Presence. Yet scripture says we can safely bring all of this to Him.
"...pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." Psalms 62:8

Lord will You…
lift when we fall?
mend when we break?
rekindle our light when
we’re empty and dark?
sustain even when
our strength drains?
hold our soul when
we lose heart?
love and resuscitate when
our faith evaporates?
sing through us when
we’re silent in suffering?
Lord will Your…
promise support us
when answers escape us?
vision reveal a path
we can’t see?
Spirit seal our
leaking hope?
O God…
somewhere deep within
lie remnants
of the Truth that
calmed our soul
we try to hold firm
it's impossible
for us to do
on our own
once Your restoration starts
You gently gather
broken parts
will we feel
the renewal of our
trust in what's True?
once again
may it be so
may it be so
Amen
"For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, 'Don't be afraid. I am here to help you'" Isaiah 41:13

God is there--He cares---He walks and sometimes may have to carry you. He is sovereign. He doesn't want us to fear but that is hard sometimes. 🙏
The last five years have been full of suffering, cancer, recurrence of cancer, open heart surgery. It has been rough. Well aware of my human condition. I keep praying. Phil
