Why God?

Dear God,

You knew all along how drastically different this week was going to go than planned. You knew that Whitney's heart wasn't working right, and You knew that Tuesday was going to turn into "Surgery Day, Round Three." You knew that the surgery was going to be paid for 100%; You knew that the surgeon was leaving on vacation in a week and had one opening. You knew how everything was going to pull together and happen.

God, I'm struggling, because I didn't know. I didn't see this coming. I'm going to need a lot of help in getting through this. This is my wonderful, best-friend, younger sister! I need all the help that only You can give me to teach me to trust You. Thank You for the help that You have already given me in the form of verses and songs about Your leading and Your protection.

"My God is Good" by Faye Lopez
~Chorus~
Though I may never understand, I'll trust with all my heart,
And from the course that You have planned I never want to part.
In searching for Your way and wisdom, teach me if you would,
That for all time, in every place,
My God is Good.

II Samuel 22:31-33 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect.

Thank You, God, for knowing all along how best to comfort and encourage me. Thank you for preparing me even though I didn't know that was what You were doing. Thank You for being a God Who I can turn to when my heart is aching. Thank You for loving me.
