Not my job

I pray that when you are broken— you’ll discover that, in healing, you grow stronger.

Praying one of the hardest upside-down prayer today because it is so difficult to see our children hurting.  I want to take the place of God as the fixer of all bad things that come their way.  But I realize it is not my job.  Only He can and should fill that place.  I know his was of healing will be so much better than what I could ever accomplish, but still.  I know I can't heal my child's broken heart, but He can.  "Give me strength when I have to support my child as he suffers through his own time of brokenness. Give me the words that will point him to you. Help each of us to draw nearer to you in our shared pain, so that we might emerge from the valley stronger in our faith and ready to share in your joy" AMEN
