Be Still

This is the message that keeps repeating itself all week.  In readings, in novels, even on a pillow in a catalog.  Be still.   

This week has been extremely difficult.   My youngest cat (14 months) is sick.  He has been diagnosed with a almost always fatal, untreatable disease.   My heart is broken.   But I am encouraged to be still.  It’s been two days since the diagnosis and today is the first day I’ve felt peace.   

For the last two days, as my heart shattered I heard praise song after praise song on the radio.  And when I wasn’t listening to the radio, the Lord was bringing them to my mind.   This is a sad, sad time and yet I know my Father is with me.  

I don’t know God’s plan in this.  I will be getting a second opinion.   I know though I can trust my Father whatever the outcome.  He is good.  And He is present.  

Whatever you are facing, He will not leave nor forsake you.

Psalm 46:10a. Be still and know that I am God!

Thank you Lord for being with me.   I do pray you heal my baby here on earth.  We want him to live with us for a long time.  But whatever you choose I know is right and I trust you.  Thank you for staying by your children when they walk through the sad times.  Please let each person reading this know that God has not forgotten or deserted them.  Our God is awesome.

God is with you.
