Our daughter Sherri has been in the hospital in ICU with double pneumonia and sepsis since Friday morning. She had been very sick, and we were all fearful that she was going to die. Lots of prayers from family and church have been lifted up for her. She took a turn for the better this afternoon, is now off oxygen, and ate her first food. During these last four days, I have prayed pretty much non-stop in my head. During this weekend’s activities with church services and preaching, it was hard not to get distracted by worry for her. I kept repeating Philippians 4:6-7 in my head, over and over,” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The instruction is not to be anxious but to pray until you have peace. To not be anxious is a tough assignment at times like this, but that is what it says, so I trusted and prayed. I prayed at one point last night when I woke up, “Lord, I desire that You heal Sherri, but I don’t know what Your will is. We just had a family member who was 41 and a young guy in our church who was the same age also die. They were both married with kids. We prayed for their healing, but that obviously wasn’t Your will. Lord, I trust You totally that what You choose to do with Sherti is the best possible thing that could happen, even if it isn’t what I want.” When I prayed, I felt great peace and went to sleep. I am very thankful that she is much better this evening.
