Sitting here wondering how I would cope knowing my 3 year old child is in the hospital with a rare form of cancer and has just been given 1 to 5 years. What do you do with that? I know you take it to God. I know you have faith that He can do miracles, that these are just doctors, people like me. But wow how difficult that must be. I know that for me I wouldn't be ok with hearing God does everything for a reason...I would not be ok with hearing that we all are only here for a short time. I'm not ok with hearing it for my friend. I can only imagine the pain that they are in right now. I'm praying and believing in a miracle, yet I'm so fearful of him not following through on that miracle. I'm fearful for Michele and Joe and the rest of their family and I'm fearful for my own faith. I am not doubting that he can do it. I'm more concerned with "WILL HE?". And I know that if he doesn't that He has his reasons but I'm really not comfortable with that. I hate NOT knowing WHY... I want to know why for everything. It's taken me a long time to stop asking why for everything. Sometimes things just are. I'm not sure if I'll ever fully understand God. I mean who will? He is a total mystery. James 5:11 says that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy. That with perseverance he will bring you through your troubles. Refrencing Job...
And is says that you should call the elders of the church to pray over him and annoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up....I'm praying Lord that you will heal Joey Johnson make him well.
