Whatever comes, God will give me the strength to deal with it.
~Lisa Beamer
Our prayer and meditation this morning for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.
Whatever comes, can we really trust God that much?
No one is ever prepared for the unexpected twists and turns of life: hurt, betrayal, sorrow, job loss, financial difficulty, the sudden death of a loved one. No, the unexpected comes when we least expect it and, more often than not, it challenges our faith.
But God is here, seeing our tears, knowing our fears, and truly feeling our pain. Whatever comes, we won’t go through it alone. Every “whatever” is in God’s hands and, as Lisa Beamer discovered on 9/11, God will give us the strength to deal with it. He will hold us up when we want to fall; he will wipe away our tears; he will hold us tight and calm our fears.
When “whatever” comes your way, give it to God.
You can trust him that much.
Prayer for Meditation
Whatever comes, Lord, I trust you to walk me through it—today and every day.
Scripture for Meditation
But whatever happens to me, you must live in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ, as citizens of heaven. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing side by side, fighting together for the Good News. Philippians 1:27
