My heart is heavy...

I never know what to say when someone is suffering, or when the suffering has ended. I also know the only thing we can do and often the most powerful thing we can do is simply get on our knees before our Abba Father and pray for those we love. I hope you will join me in praying for a fellow brother and sister in Christ, as well as their family. Please pray for the Beam family as their beloved son has gone Home to be with Jesus. For those of you who do not know the Beam family, you can read about them by clicking on this link: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tuckerbeam and then again at http://1beamfamily.blogspot.com/.

I know the Lord delivers us in three ways (thinking of the book of Daniel): through the fire, by the fire, or from the fire.
I also know, trust and believe in God's promises to love us, care for us, provide for us, and of His promises that His ways are better than ours. Isaiah 55: 8-9 says "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I know He is our comfort, our hope and our joy. I still hurt for them b/c I know they are in pain, a pain I cannot understand or fathom. I'm praying the Lord continues to speak gently to them as He is drawing them nearer to Himself and holding them in His strong and mighty arms. May they feel His peace and assurance as only He can give.

Thank you for praying for them. Love you and God bless you.
