O Lord, I call to you: Come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; Keep watch over my lips. Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds, with men who are evildoers; let me not eat of their delicacies. ... But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge - do not give me over to death. Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers.
Psalm 141:1-4,8,9
In times of sorrow it is easy to blame God and burn with anger at the unfairness of life. Earlier on in life I made an intentional choice to confront sorrow and suffering by turning only to God. To have faith that God would work out the situation only for His glory. If that means I suffer then I suffer. My life is not my own, but is lived in service to God. And so in this hour of sorrow, i do the same. I turn my eyes to God and in Him there is only light and hope. If it be time for my grandma to leave this earth then she will be with the Father and in a much better place than her current one. If it is not her time then I will be joyful in the opportunity to spend more time with this great woman of God.
At all times take a posture of humility and honor to God, in the tough times place yourself in God's hands for he is more than able to comfort and handle your pain.
God's light and love has exuded from my Grandmother. Grandma you are loved.
