Not Again Lord

it has only been a year, okay so 1 year, 1 month and a week since we lost Ava.

And last night.

"We need to pray for a little girl who is having a biopsy tomorrow morning"

(right now, as I type this).

I find myself running from this prayer, wanting to write wanting to think but not wanting to turn to God and ask again.

Lord let it not be so. Lord please let it not be so.

My boys just left for school, John to the office. They are the world to me, they are whom God has given to me.

There is a song that our church uses for worship and the words "You Give and You Take Away" are never words that I sing lightly. (and sometimes, most of the time I don't sing them, I just pause and pick up later)

I don't know that my faith would hold up.

But Lord help me to go to you in prayer this morning for this child, for her mother and family. That you know that their faith can stand and that they know that you are praying for them that they will not fail.
