All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

I want to ask you why

This poem is written for my son Austin, who may not live older than 9 or 10, he is three now and has a brain degenerative disorder. It hurts to know I may not have my precious baby forever, but I am very thankful for the time we have had and do have. I pray every day for a miracle

I want to ask you why, but I know it's not your doing
I want to scream and cry, but what good will it do him

I don't normally like to beg, but I fall to my knees and pray
That you will let me hold him forever and a day

He seems to be getting stronger every day,
I know you are helping him build up strength
I have to stay strong, I cannot lose faith
For he needs my wisdom to help in every way

He may not talk as well as others
He may not walk as good as his brothers
But he is my miracle, my blessing, my gift from you
I will do anything to help him get through

My children are the very air I breathe
Without them I will be lost in uncertainty
That's why you must help me keep my baby boy
Help me help him, for he is my pride and joy

Dear God please help me keep my son
I pray to you, for you are the only one
Who can heal him, who can make him strong
Dear God please wait to take him home

For Austin

I wrote this poem when Austin was only three, I was so scared because the doctors were telling me he would not live, but he is now Seven and he is doing great. If you go to my home page and read my testimony it will tell you the story of how God saved my little boy and how his gracious love and understanding took one (myself) very lost and confused soul and turned it into a true believer and follower of Christ and all the unconditional things and love that come with that. Thank you all again for everything, and if there is one person out there who does not know what God can do for you you have come to the right place, and its so easy to just allow yourself to believe, and your eyes will become open. God Bless

Father God, I pray that you will comfort the heart of this dear dear mother, thank you Lord, for her heart.....thank you for the love that she is bestowing upon her son.... thank you for the faith that she has.... I pray that you will truly give her the desires of her heart....that she will get the miracle that she is seeking.... touch her son.. Lord, by the power of your love.... and make him whole. We give you praise for hearing our prayer on his behalf....and we thank you for what you are willing to do for both of them. Amen.

(((Hugs))) We love you and God loves you more... rest in him!!!!! Let him carry you thru this valley......

A scripture that has meant a lot to me is found in Deut. "Underneath are the Everlasting arms... "

When you are weary... picture yourself actually falling back into those big strong arms.... and find comfort there.

I feel sure this scripture inspired the wonderful Baptist hymn , Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.

I want to ask you why
