A Prayer When You Need God's Help through Your Trials By: Betsy de Cruz "Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them." – Psalm 146:5-6 Any parent knows airplane flights are sheer torture with kids under three. We lived overseas, so during our baby years, visiting the United States meant a 24-hour journey. Even as infants, neither child ever slept a wink during our long, trans-Atlantic flights, until the plane started to land. Then they'd wake up and howl as we got off the plane. At the start of each journey, I'd psych myself up with these words: "No matter how bad this gets, it will all be over in 24 hours." And it was true. Trying to comfort a screaming child while everyone on the plane stared felt like a horror movie, but no trip lasted forever. God got me through each one. I'm not going to lie; those trips were grueling, but I did learn an important lesson. |
