Faith over fear

Phillipians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Friday evening was heartbreaking, I was immediately filled with fear as I began to process the news. I desperately wanted to get to the hospital to be with my family. How could this be happening???

Saturday morning when I woke, again I was filled with uncertainty. I laid in bed and shared my heart in prayer. Leah came in, upset because she had heard me upset the night before. After we talked I opened Facebook. There in my memories was peace. On March 30th, 2014 Jackson was baptized, he was a Child of God, a promise that God would never forsake him and care for him always. It was a light shining from the clouds in that moment...an eternal promise.

Yesterday, my aunt Sandy sent me a prayer and asked us to add it to our prayer book and we ask you to pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,
As we unite in prayer and common bond in belief in you, we ask you for mercy to heal Jackson completely. Knowing your love for Jackson is greater than our own, please use your healing hand to strengthen and comfort our entire family. Give peace to the family to draw them all closer to you. We completely trust you to put Jackson in the care of doctors who can best promote him to good health. We thank you for listening to our prayer, in Jesus name. Amen.
