The day our daughter had her cardiac MRI I was sitting in the hospital lobby waiting, when halfway through the exam her doctor comes out with two nurses.
They took me to a small private room where the doctor began to explain what they had found and what needed to be done.
Her condition was not something that could be easily corrected, it needed surgery.
I sat there as he explained to me the anatomy, the risks, the procedure etc.
It was a LOT to process, and the only thing I could say to him was “I’m processing all of this that you are saying. We are people of faith, would you mind if I just took a moment right now to pray?”
They graciously agreed and I prayed at that moment. Right there in that small conference room with the doctor and the two nurses.
And I can say there was a supernatural peace that allowed me to hold it together.
And continues to do so to this day.
Prayer should be our FIRST response. Sincere, genuine prayer can do amazing things in our lives.
We have a very real and loving Heavenly Father and prayer is our daily connection to him.
It is as crucial to us as the food we eat to nourish our bodies.
Do not let anything keep you from your conversations with God. They can be open, and real. You can cry it out and tell him exactly how you are feeling.
Angry, scared, terrified, ashamed….whatever it is.
Do not believe the lie that you are unworthy of speaking to a most loving and forgiving Father.
He is there waiting, ready to listen to every word you say. He knows even words left unsaid.
How good is our God ❤️
