Ever feel like things sort of pile up all at once? Like you can't really get used to some hard thing and then in crash a bunch of other things. Almost like it was arranged by a sovereign God. Almost like it was meant to quickly and effectively use up my stock pile of energy, stamina and human optimism.
Instead of trying to process these things and figuring out how I would ask God to move and how I would suggest a way through this 'howling wilderness' for a struggling friend, I can only pray for mercy. For lots and lots of mercy. Oh please, God, let your mercy be known and abundant and accepted by all of us.
And I find that my racing mind and grieving heart are quieted by the assurance that God knows and is actively creating a way through this for all of us.
