Leave them there

Well...Its been a while. But life, has a funny way of keeping you busy. A happy belated Purim to all. I mention Purim because I had an invite to bake Hamantachen, which I was to ill to take up on. I ended up in urgent care not 48 hours later. Have I mentioned my lungs are not friends with something here in LA? The lyric from an old church song has run through my mind quite a bit this week..."bring your burdens to the Lord and leave them there." I guess its kind of had me thinking. I should explain.

In the midst of being sick my niece has also been sick. Barely a week ago they thought they'd have to do surgery on her. Now she's at home. The fluid build up/ gunk shrank and they'll re-check her this week to make sure but she's at home, no stitches no surgery, just some icky meds. My niece my whole family really, tend to be walking examples of the power of prayer.

When people all over the world begin to pray, to intercess it is a powerful thing. Though I know the pangs of how much it feels like you aren't doing anything. As I've been sick I've watched my husband pray for me knowing its the most powerful thing he can do for me, yet seeing in his face he wishes there were more. I know my brother and his wife likely had the same look on their faces as they prayed for Annabelle( who I still say is bar none the cutest niece on the planet!).

But our worry is really vanity. Our prayers are to the living God who is also the Great Physician. He knows I am only breathing on this day or any day because of His incredible healing power. I am blessed beyond anything I can come up with by His mercy. Then again, aren't we all? I'm struck with what wonders would happen if we could all find the strength He will give us if with all our problems from the last pair of the right size pants to hours spent in coughing fits that are painful to hurting hearts....If we just completely let go of them and handed them over to God...I read a sign once it said "Give your worries to God, He'll be up all night anyway."

Well I think I'm rambling now, but before I go one last thing. Blessings to you all and those you love and may we all give them over on this night and every night and have a peaceful sleep in knowing that God is in control and there is no problem to big or to small that he cannot take care of it.
