Don’t ever discount the cry of your heart. God may be working in your heart to bring about his sovereign plan.
~ K. Howard Joslin
Ann prayed because of a gut-wrenching, throbbing pain in her soul. She urgently begged the Lord for her life.
DeeDee had to have a firm grasp on reality. Yet she knew God was bigger than a pathology report. So she prayed.
I have no guarantee that God will choose to heal Ann, but I know he wants me to pray to that end.
We don’t know the final outcome, or even know how long the battle will last, but we do know the referee.
Their prayers impacted the outcome of the fight.
Because Ann learned to trust God fifteen years ago, she is able to trust God now with an even more difficult situation.
Ann: You didn’t cause my miscarriages. But you are committed to transforming me to be like you.
Breaking a sweat through our difficulties minimized the likelihood of a crippling injury to our faith.
Ann: How does God’s character fit into things that seem totally against his character?
That morning set in motion a series of events that caused me to wrestle with questions of God’s goodness.
Can I really take God at his word?
Ann: What if there is no God? What if the Bible isn’t true?
What if God doesn’t keep his promises?
We are all tired of the stress.
I needed to decide if I would still worship God if he allowed Matt to lose his eye.
Quite frankly we are both tired of the race we have been asked to run.
We don’t know why God chose to deliver Peter from death and James through death. The text doesn’t say.
Joseph’s trials were unjust, inexplicable and heartrending. Yet Joseph knew God, and he knew that God had a plan.
God had not abandoned us. He was actively working behind the scenes, when I had no means or spirit to fight.
God dramatically slew one monstrous opponent and then threw us into the arena against a stronger and more vicious foe.
Each appointment brought fear, uncertainty and discouragement. Ann’s constant concern was, What if I have cancer?
