One of the most devastating questions I had to face after Dominic ran ahead to heaven was, “What difference does prayer make?”   I had prayed-diligently prayed-for every one of my children since before they were born. Even Dominic’s name, which means “belonging to God” was chosen carefully to reflect my heart’s desire that this child follow hard after Jesus. So why didn’t prayer “work”?  Why did my son die in an accident when others live?

I can say with certainty that I am more sure now than I was before that God is God. He is good. He will redeem, restore and resurrect.

Life is hard. Death is awful. But thanks to Jesus, death doesn't have the last word.

Join me for a month of exploring what the Bible says about grief. It's a great way to begin a new year & to feed hope to your heart.

"I prayed every day for my children.  I asked God to protect them, to give them wisdom, to draw them to Himself and to guide their steps."
