No words adequately express how painful it is for a mother to watch her child suffer. But we have hope that God does not abandon us in our trials. He is always good and always trustworthy. Everything He does comes from a place of love because He is love (1 John 4:8).
Dear LORD, Your Word tells us plainly that in this world we will have trouble (John 16:33). When troubles come to my children, give them hearts like Job to praise You no matter what circumstances they face (Job 1:20). Help them to cling to You only and not things that can be taken away (and everything can be taken away except You). Strengthen their faith in You so they can confidently declare with Job, “though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15). In Jesus’ name, amen.
