Thanks Maya. Yes, our health is another area where we think we have control… but we really don’t. Either way, we have to trust God. Thanks for sharing another example.

I’ll be praying for you also, Michelle. I still forget (neglect?) to remember God is in control in regards to my health and dealing with my children. He knows what He is doing.

Thanks, Addy! I need prayer, and I realize that it is only God’s grace that will allow me to rest in Him. What I’m trying to say, though, is that I must trust God regardless of the location of my husband, although maybe in my case it will take a deployment to teach me this. God’s truth applies even without deployment, though. Perhaps others have areas where they are challenged to trust in God. I have a friend with a teenage son who is making some wrong choices. Her natural reaction is more control, more rules, more attempts to hold everything together. Her challenge is the same as mine. We think our rules and control are what keep our children doing right, but unless God protects our children, then our rules and control are worthless. It doesn’t matter whether her children are doing right or sinning; God is faithful to bring us into the conformity of His Son.
