In our anguish over a child’s diagnosis, we can prayerfully cast ourselves on the God who is our Creator, Father, Sustainer, omnipresent Guide, and Savior.

In the grief and uncertainty of walking our child through a medical crisis, we can hold tight to the Great High Priest who understands our weaknesses and intercedes on our behalf.

Though having sick grandparents alters the memories our kids can make with them, the lessons about suffering and eternity they’ll learn in the process are priceless.

In the midst of nurturing a sick little one, we can find hope in the fact that God is both Comforter and Creator.

In the darkness of grief and suffering, Christmas is our promise of Light. Jesus—the Dawn from on High—has come to redeem and restore all things.

The truth we celebrate at Christmas—that Christ has come to be Immanuel, “God with us”—is the truth that also anchors us through our deepest valleys.

God’s gifts of grace are often hidden in the most unexpected places—even amidst our suffering and sorrows.

No matter what he calls us to walk through, God is trustworthy and good, and so we can trade our fears for faith.

Through all the stages of grieving a child’s diagnosis, we can lean into God’s love and look for the evidences of his faithful care.

Through the unseen struggles of chronic illness, we can take heart that Jesus sees us in our weakness—just as he did the bleeding woman in Scripture.

As God calls us to shed our self-reliance in life and motherhood—depending daily on his grace instead—we can look ahead with hope to his greater purposes for us.

Jesus both understands the deep pain of human suffering and has triumphed over it as divine King over all, so we can entrust our children’s hurts to him.
