What do you do when someone you care for falls ill and you are physically apart?
Does the sense of helplessness overwhelm?
Does the desire to step in and take action rise up?
Does the maternal instinct take over?
Does the paternal instinct rear up?
In my books, the hardest thing to bear is having to watch someone you love suffer and be totally unable to alleviate the suffering.
At that time, a decision has to be made. A stance has to be taken. A belief will be lived out.
But first, the question "Is God in control?" needs to be answered.
Then only can the rest take place.

Agreed; very much agreed. I get angry at injustice of people hurting when they shouldn't be, when they are being hurt emotionally by the people who are supposed to protect them and yet have authority over them and we are powerless to do anything. Yet, I realized it's a matter of trusting God even as we plead His intervention in such situations. And trusting means trusting the seasons He brings too, I learnt. hehe.
