Hope(less?)
the doctors say there is no hope their words are overwhelming "he will die"
Jesus said to never stop praying “even small faith will move mountains” He told us
and there lies my conundrum
God gives the doctors their wisdom I can trust them I do
God makes and maintains all that is I can trust Him I do
on the one side God’s gifts on the other side God’s power in between the sides me
desperately wondering how to pray
On October 3rd my uncle went to the hospital for a 'routine' operation on a heart valve. He had a stroke during the operation and it did not go as expected. For the last eleven days we waited, we hoped, we prayed, we begged God for a miracle even as the doctors told us there was no hope.
Conflicted, I wrote this poem this morning. This afternoon, at 2:03, he died.
I am a man with a deep and abiding faith in God, that has not changed. But today I am once again reminded that God doesn't give me everything I ask for, even though Jesus told us that even our smallest grain of faith could move mountains. And today I am once again staggered by the apparent difference between what Jesus said and what God will do.
