Trials

Consider it pure joy my brothers (sisters), whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
...
Blessed is the man (woman) who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
James 1:2-4, 12

Acts 1:7-8 He said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Witnesses for God. Witnesses while we are under trial, while we are persevering. God be huge. God be BIG. Not just BIG, BUT BIG BIG!
Be here at this hour while she sleeps, quiet her pain, heal her hurts.
Lord, answer the prayers of her heart.
Jesus, show her where you are leading her.
Father, give him the wisdom to lead.
Abba, let your children be held in your huge protective arms tonight, today, tomorrow as long as it is called tomorrow.
Yesu, give her compassion.
YHWH, we praise you for your works unseen.
Yesuah, thank you for granting the desires of our hearts.
Mungu, quiet the hurts of this world, open her heart to you again. Show them you are the way, the truth, and the light. You are THE WAY.
PapA, help us persevere.
