You can trust that God’s work is on display in your family. The disciples asked Jesus why a man was born blind. He responded, “It was not that his man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” John 9:3
You can rest because He never does. “Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalm 121:4
You can believe God is in control over your situation. “Then the Lord said to [Moses], ‘Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?'” Exodus 4:11
You can see God’s good workmanship in your child. “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13&14
You can love by following God’s example. “We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19
You can remember He is at work in your suffering. “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” 1 Peter 5:10
You can rest in His work to fulfill His plan. “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Psalm 138:8
