She'd been up all night. The pain medication attached to her I.V. was the culprit. Whenever she pressed that button for pain relief, her stomach would empty a few minutes later. She was in pain, because she didnt want to use that button. When the pain became unbearable, she would give in and press it, beginning the cycle again. This morning the staff is working to stop both. They brought her some oral pain meds and injected a nausea reliever into her I.V.
There are few moments in my life when I've felt so weak.
During a break between fits and visits, we prayed. "Dear Father, here is your little girl, and she is hurting. We cant fix this situation, but we know that you can, and that you love her. Please, Father, help."
The pain is under control and she hasnt thrown up again today. Her Father loves her and took care of it for her. Praise Him.
This is a source of peace that the world cannot give. When things in life are beyond my control, I know that I can go to my heavenly Father. He cares about us and is concerned with every little thing.
When we prayed for my wife's immediate help, did we surprise God? If he was aware of the situation, why didnt He do something without our asking? In fact, why didnt he just fix her knee before it needed replacement? Maybe He doesnt love her so much after all?
These questions are not so difficult to answer, but I wont go into them now. All I want to focus on is that He does listen and move. In this one instance, I might be able to attribute chance or coincidence. After more than thirty years in Christ, and countless situations like this, I'm convinced that God is constantly involved in my life. I can find no greater peace than that knowledge.

Thanks for participating in this discussion. It is important that believers discuss and contend over scripture. It's how we keep aligned.
