Feel Like You Have No Control...?

When you feel like you have no control of your life God may not answer your prayers as you expect. But speaking from experience, I guarantee you that He knows you and your needs better than you do (Philippians 4:19). Trust Him.
Let this be a time when you draw nearer to God and to each other. You may look back one day and count this trial as a real blessing in your relationship with each other and with God. Thank God for what He is going to teach you about yourselves and about Him. “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

"Let this be a time when you draw nearer to God and to each other."

I like the thought of God drawing near to you in a time like this. Not just to 'provide' for you, but perhaps to draw comfort in being near you as He experiences what you and He experience together.
