It Breaks Your Heart

So, it was time to look at taking Asher’s bandages off of his knees. Sadly, as soon as Asher saw all the blood he freaked out. He just kept crying as his anxiety went through the roof. He didn’t even want me to pray beside him tonight.

For me these have been the toughest moments. Seeing your child terrified or having to endure more pain breaks your heart. Asher is such a sensitive young man. He tries to act as brave as possible. But, as soon anyone talks about needles, surgery, or blood he quickly falls apart. We definitely had some tough moments before and after his surgery this past Monday.

I’m sure most parents feel like us. You want to protect your child from any pain. You wish you could take their place. You know God has a purpose, but it’s still just tough to watch. You finally realize all you can do is keep praying and faith walking.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
