Believing

A family that is really close to me is going through the biggest nightmare of their lives. Their 4 year old son is battling a rare type of cancer and modern medicine is giving them little hope for recovery. I am STANDING with them and BELIEVING that God will perform a miracle in this little boy. I have been awakened several times throughout the night in the past week by God as a prompt to be praying for this boy and his family. Last night I sat in brokenness on my bed in prayer to God for this family. As I prayed Matthew 11:27-29 (Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light), I felt the burden I had been carrying lift off my shoulders. I asked God to take my yoke and for me to take His, and just as quickly as the words came out of my mouth, the burden was lifted. I want to fix this situation, to take away the pain that this family is feeling, but it's not up to me. I can't physically do that. What I can do is give it to God. I can petition Him for healing for this boy and wait for Him to act. I put my HOPE in Him. I put my TRUST in Him. That is all I can do.
