A Prayer for Perseverance
The days rush by like a hurricane-- information and test results and procedures and probable diagnoses slapping against me and whirling around me at a maddening speed, bending me and breaking off my branches so that I am stripped bare.
I am tired.
Ironically, it is in my exhaustion that I find strength I did not know I had. When I am bent so far I think I will snap in two, I have nowhere else to turn but up. I see my God-- the One who whispers, “Be strong and courageous, for I am with you.”
He does not promise ease; however, He does promise life. And it is this chapter of my life that has changed me. With new eyes, I see the things that matter.
And so-- I push forward. I do the hard things. Even if I cannot count it all easy, I can count it all joy.

About this Plan
It’s hard to know how to pray when someone dear is hurt or sick. When you don’t know whether to cry or be brave, the words get caught. But, whether we are eloquent or stuttering, He listens. In this 3-day plan, pray along with a mother who has spent significant time at the side of her little one’s hospital bed. Pray for healing, but also for peace and perseverance as God takes you through the difficult journey of caring for your loved one.
