Must do… Can’t do… Wish I… If she… Why can’t… How can I face what I must face tomorrow? How can I bear this sadness and this fear? Child, look to me: I’ve borne your griefs and sorrows and one day I will wipe away your tears. Just this? No more? How long O Lord how long? How very deep and dark this valley seems! I feel bereft, despite your promises. The darkness cannot hide you from my sight. I see you, know you, love you, hold you, child. I choose to trust. I rest in Christ. Amen. Amen.
