Courage

Lucy and I got to go by ourselves to see Steve after Lucy's occupational therapy session, which is only about 15 minutes away from the hospital.  Steve was very tired today after a bad night of sleep, but still pushing through.  He and Lucy had a couple of special moments together, and Lucy got to see part of his PT.

Steve asked for prayer for courage.  He is feeling daunted by the mental challenges that will come with being home soon, and realizes that it will take some serious courage to face each of these fears.  We know that we have a God who gives exactly that.

Psalm 31:23-24
Love the LORD, all you saints!
The LORD preserves the faithful
but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the LORD.

    I have been praying for Steve and your family since the accident. Steve was especially weighing on my mind late last night. I prayed for strength and courage--then I saw your post this morning.

    Though feeling grief for what you are going through, at the same time I have an uplifting sense God is doing something grand and beautiful. Steve is a fine instrument and in God's hands will be even finer.

    You are a comforting and encouraging example of the grace of God’s people under fire. We will continue to pray. Thank you for your posts.
