Many of you are aware that my sister (Carolyn) is ill. After a two and an half year battle with pancreatic cancer, she is experiencing a lot of pain. The oncologist has discontinued the chemo-therapy. As we were preparing for bed last night, my wife and I were speaking of our fears and our sorrows. This morning, I awoke to this prayer. It doesn't take away my anxiety, but it reminds me that there are resources (godly resources) to help me deal with those anxieties.
I will leave you with the prayer:
We do not ask that the way be made smooth, or even that thou wouldst bestow upon us now the strength which thou hast promised. We ask only for the grace to use what thou hast already provided in Christ Jesus. Amen.
