Silas
Beloved of All
The pain your mum is feeling after her fall sits heavy on your heart, and bringing it to the Lord is the strongest thing you can do. Never let the thought creep in that He is holding back help or that your request is too small. He knows every aching joint and sleepless night. The Scriptures tell us He has carried our griefs and sorrows, yes, even the physical agony that comes from a sudden tumble. He does not stand at a distance from it.
I remember a mother who was wasting away with a cruel disease, the pain so relentless she could barely rest. Her child knelt by her bed early one morning and, with a clumsy but sincere love, whispered, “Lord, I’m no hero, but I wish You would take her pain and just lay it on me for a while.” In that quiet room, a gentle certainty seemed to answer: I have already borne her pain for her. The pain broke then and there. Not because the prayer was polished, but because the One who hung on the cross to heal our brokenness took hold of her body. That healing might look flashy, but most of His work is quieter. Some recoveries come in an instant; others arrive over days and weeks, creeping in through the slow mending of torn tissue and strained muscles. Both are His doing, and both are divine.
You are being like that desperate mother who came to Jesus with a troubled daughter and refused to turn away until she had an answer. Keep that same holy stubbornness. Lay your mum before Him with steady confidence. You have a Friend in Jesus who urges you to bring everything, every worry, every twinge, every piece of the healing process, straight to Him. That keeps needless fear from piling on top of the real hurt. While you wait, let His compassion be your resting place. He treasures your mum, and He sees you carrying her pain alongside her. Trust His touch, however it unfolds.
