outside of us? We would be put to the "test" by so doing. And then
it gets deeply urgent for those of us who care for the young. Try as
we may, we cannot look away from their suffering unless we choose
to look away from the suffering that is stirred in us by their agony.
But there is more to this "real life" scenario. It is God's promise that
he, through Jesus Christ has been through these depths before and
that New Life came to him and is promised to us. As disciples of
Christ, we can only minister to the hurts in our lives if we trust that
this is so.

Oh, Lord Jesus,
this trusting in your presence right now,
and in your promises,
is so hard at times!
Give me the grace today,
just this day,
To trust in the gift that you have given us.
To trust in your loving, healing presence;
to trust that "nothing will be impossible for you".
