{Mr. C and LittleZ at 3 months old}
May the God of Israel grant you what you have asked him. (1 Samuel 1:17)
I think we’ve been there before. We see someone who we love suffering, and we try everything that we can do to end their suffering, but nothing seems to work. At the very end, we know that we cannot do anything else for them, and we intercede for them. We offer up a prayer for them.
We all have loved ones who sometimes are in a dark place. But we are reminded that we shouldn’t go to God as a last resort, we should go to him first and lay our problems on His doorstep.
A few years ago, if you were following me, I was in a dark place, I was trying to understand a situation that happened to me. I still don’t understand it, but it took a long time for me to come to terms with it.
Like Hannah, I offered up my prayers to God, and I had to just let go. When I did that, I felt like a burden was lifted, and I knew my sorrow and prayers were heard. I was able and ready to move on, because I knew God was at work.
The picture above is proof of that. Even my darkest moments, I have a husband who supports me, a daughter who loves me endlessly, and I was blessed with a son who feels I am his world (at least for now).
Let us offer this prayer for a friend in need:
Lord, our friend have gone though a bad situation that only you can fix. You have the power to work wonders, and to heal the sick. We ask Lord, that you hear our prayers for our friend who is going though a hard time, and remind them that they are not alone.
Amen.

This definitely brings inspiration and hope for those that are going through their own struggles. Thanks for sharing your testimony with the world of the undeniable power of God in your life. He is the same God back then, today and will be forevermore. Such a beautiful picture of Mr.C and little Z. May God continue to bless you all!
Thank you Yvonne. I hope that others who are going through difficulties (especially dealing with the pain after a miscarriage) that they understand that they are not alone.
Kalley, I’m sorry for your loss. I am glad that you are healing and coming out of your dark place. Sometimes it’s hard to go to God first when the pain of this world is so deep. But if we can just stop for one moment, even if things will not be perfect, He will bring comfort.
Thank you Carla, you are so right. It can be hard to go to God first with our troubles, but He is the best person to go to. Like you said, he will bring comfort.
Kalley, I can relate to this post in so many ways and have a very similar experience. Thankfully, I had an awesome doctor who was compassionate and caring. As I look at Miss V, I am reminded that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose”. It took me a long time to come to terms with my miscarriage, with the loss and the emotions I experienced before, during and after. I am thankful for a loving circle of friends (in real life and the blogging community) who offered their prayers, support and words of encouragement. Thank you for sharing this and the reminder that His life and grace are sufficient and will heal all hurts and pains in due time. God Bless You, Diva!
Thank you Michelle for your words and testimony! I know that we are truly blessed to have a strong support circle (online and off) who pray for us and sit with us during our times of need.
Amen! There’s is nothing like a support system and know where your strength come from.
That is the truth!
Nothing like a great support system and a God who does things we will never understand. There is a reason for everything as I look back over my life at the time I did not understand it but if I sit and meditate about things I say well if this didn’t happen then that would not have happened. Great post today and I needed this.
So true! Everything happens for a reason, and if it didn’t happen–then what we have in our lives now, may not have been.
Amen Kalley! You are super blessed to have your husband to support you and your beautiful family!
Thank you so much Joi!
Look at god! Beautiful family… blessed.
Thank you Amanda! And thank you for coming to my blog! 🙂
