One positive side effect concerning thinking about Matt in the middle of the night is that it certainly gets one to one's knees. That is actually a good thing. A God-given thing. I'm just like any other human being is, the better things go, the less I tend to rely on God. Difficult times create dependence, and dependence focuses us, again and again on God and his promises and his faithfulness and the necessity for prayer. Not that it makes things any easier, per se. Although refocusing on God and his promises and the efficacy of prayer, does tend to give one peace.
Thank you, O Lord, for peace in the midst of anxiety.
