The prayers are working. Today Roy went to an ENT doctor to keep an appointment that he had made some time ago. The doctor looked down his throat as far as he could and said everything was in pristine shape. He also said that he could do the endoscopy & biopsy on his esophagus next week. Roy said he really likes this doctor, and going next week is better than waiting 21 days. Indeed it is. Roy’s state of mind is much improved and I attribute that to the prayers. He has turned it over to God. Thank you all for the prayers. We are much less anxious now.
God bless,

Knocked Off Your Feet?
February 16, 2012

Because I’ve written many articles and a book about dealing with life’s losses, I have the privilege of being introduced to a number of fellow strugglers along life’s journey. One of my new friends is a mom whose 21-year-old daughter died suddenly in 2009, which sent her reeling. She told me, “I feel like an outcast from the normal world. I feel crushed and my soul is in so much pain.”

Indeed the losses that visit us can knock us off our feet—whether a death in the family, a child who walks away from God and family, or a physical or mental setback.

Yet what I’ve discovered is something musician Jeremy Camp made clear in a song he wrote after the death of his wife in 2001: When you are knocked off your feet by life’s difficulties, remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1). That’s reason enough to get back up again. Camp described his struggle in the song called “Understand.” He asked, “Why don’t I get back on my feet again?” And he recognized that he could because “I know You understand it all.”

When trouble knocks us down, we can look up. God is there. He understands and cares. It’s not easy, but we can trust Him to help us get back on our feet again.

Lift up your eyes, despairing one,
The Lord your help will be;
You have a friend in heaven who cheers,
And calms the troubled sea. —Anon.

There is no place where earth’s sorrows
are felt more than in heaven.

Read: Psalm 116:1-6

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. —Psalm 46:1

Bible in a year:
Deuteronomy 1-3
