Have you?

Has your heart ever hurt so badly that you are not sure it will ever go away? Have you every felt that even words given to you by His divine might are not enough, and cannot even begin to bring comfort? Have you ever felt so desperate to change the reality of someone you love, but so incapable of doing so? Have you every prayed so fervently about something, that you forget to pray about anything else? Have you every prayed that God would allow you to take on the stress a dear friend feels so that she can be free from it? Have you every lay awake at night talking to Him... begging Him for a sign that this will be alright? Have you ever melted into a puddle of tears… completely overwhelmed by the pain and sadness you feel for a loved one? Have you ever felt that all you could do was pray?

Have you ever been desperate for Him? Desperate to be near Him. Desperate to hear from Him. Desperately awaiting His answer to prayer. Desperate for Him to “do this thing”.

Lord, You are in complete control here. The struggles of these dear loved ones are not in vain. The faith of your children will be stretched. Their dependence on you will be deepened. You will be glorified! You will be glorified.
