When All You Can Do Is Trust God And Pray

Life is really something. You grow along the way with friends and family and a lot of times, your friends become a family to you. That's the way it is with the people that I work with every day. We've been through tough times, good times and hilariously funny times. We've grown to love each other very much. God has knit us together.

But what do you do when one of your great friends ends up with a health problem that stops them in their tracks?

First, I think we try to wish that it wasn't happening. But then we realize that it's not going away. We always want to think that the bad stuff happens to other people. Not to the people in our own lives.

Then we pray, and hope, and wait. And sometimes....something happens, and one day your friend just isn't the way she has always been....and you realize....you gulp.....and you cry. Then you drop to your knees and really open your heart and cry out to the Lord.

I pray for people every day. But it's different when God has knit the two of you together.
