It is so difficult to trust God with the unknown. Or the diagnosis. Or what we really don’t want to happen.
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow…Father, if it is possible,
may this cup be taken from me; nevertheless,
not as I will, but as you will.”
Matthew 26: 38-39
That prayer of Jesus is so honest. The sorrow and the surrender.
If you feel overwhelmed, sad, afraid, or all of the above, what can you do? Echo the prayer of Jesus as He faced the cross.
Ask God for whatever is in your heart. Ask Him for relief. Ask Him for a better way. Then surrender.
Then trust your Father who sees and knows it all. He knows your pain. The purpose. And His perfect plan. Sorrow and surrender were part of Jesus’ prayer. May God meet you in that place today. – Sandi
