It is difficult to summarize concisely all of the things that the Lord has been teaching us in this season of our lives. It's been a hard time! This song captures a lot of the emotions that we have been feeling. When Peter says in John 6:68, "Lord, to whom would we go?" that echoes a lot of my thoughts. Though I don't understand all of the trials we are facing, He is sufficient for us.
Deuteronomy 30:6
“The Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.”
This verse speaks so deeply to us right now. Our hearts are being fully, painfully dedicated to the Lord though this trial, as we wait for our daughter's heart to be physically perfected. We trust that He will draw us to Him so that we may live more fully.
From Paul Miller's book, "A Praying Life:"
"Another author of an otherwise excellent book on prayer said that prayer was mainly about us being with God and not about God answering our prayers. As an example he mentioned that 'mothers in the days of high infant mortality used to pray desperately that their children would not die in infancy. Modern medical techniques have put an end to those prayers in the West.' Maybe. Or maybe modern medical techniques were developed in the West because young mothers in the West were praying for the lives of their children."
[You can imagine how I reacted to that one! Thank you, Lord, for the many mothers who have prayed for their children.]
