“The God of all comfort
who comforts us in all of our afflictions…”
2 Corinthians 1:3
Although he
tried to hide it, I had never seen my husband so anxious. The next morning he
was to be transported from our local hospital to another, further away, for
heart surgery. I couldn’t go with him but would meet him there.
He had never
experienced anything like this. I prayed that God would be a real presence
inside that ambulance! I also needed to feel God’s comfort because I was
anxious myself!
When I knew
they were on the road, I left to pick up our daughter who lived in another
town. Due to heavy traffic, I was concerned that we would be unable to arrive
in time to meet the ambulance. Praying
as I drove, I pulled back onto the highway. Much to our amazement and relief I
was directly behind the ambulance carrying my husband! He was able to see us
following along!
I had asked
for comfort and God, Our Comforter, responded out of His love and awareness of
our anxieties to comfort all of us! In the midst of our trials we can always
call on Him and know that He will answer!
