You may not understand God's purposes this side of heaven, but one day it’s going to be made plain. In the meantime, trust your children with the Lord!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Every mother prays for her child’s safety, but what happens when God answers those prayers differently? When Amber texted her mother, “I love you mom, pray for my safe travels,” Amber’s mother asked God to protect her daughter. But hours later, Amber’s truck rolled five times, leaving her trapped in her vehicle. Amber suffered a traumatic brain injury, and although the Lord miraculously brought her through her near-death experience, she and her parents have learned the valuable lesson of Mathew 20. There, the mother of James and John wanted the best for her sons; yet they ended up suffering terribly. Sometimes no matter how much you want the best for your children, God may allow deep suffering to touch their lives. We may not understand God's purposes this side of heaven, but one day it’s going to be made all plain. In the meantime, trust your children with the Lord!
