Today marks 11 years
since Micah died and went to be with the Lord. He awoke in the
presence of the Lord. Some of the scriptures I prayed for Micah when
he was sick were:
Ps 3:5
I lay down and
slept;
I awake, for the
LORD sustained me.
Ps 4:8 I will both
lie down in peace, and sleep, For You alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in
safety.
Ps. 5:3
My voice You shall
hear in the morning, O LORD;
In the morning I
will direct it to You, And I will look up.
Each night when
Micah went to sleep he and I were more conscious of the fact that it
is the LORD who gives him sleep and peace. It is the LORD who woke
him and sustained him. It was only because of Jesus that when Micah
was dying of cancer that he could have peace at night knowing that
the Lord heard his cry and the LORD was his peace and only in Him
alone could Micah dwell in safety. So Micah trusted in the Lord and
directed his prayers to the Lord . He looked up to Jesus, the author
and finisher of his faith, at night, knowing he might go to dwell in
the presence of the Lord and rest in Him. He awoke looking to Jesus
and the Lord put gladness in his heart.
Then 11 years ago today Micah awoke in the presence of the LORD, seeing Jesus face to face.
Then 11 years ago today Micah awoke in the presence of the LORD, seeing Jesus face to face.
Lord, I pray that
you would help me not to forget how You sustained Micah each day and
drew him closer to you each day, gave him peace and help in such a
glorious way to trust You and find joy in You because You put joy and
gladness in his heart. Thank you Lord! Help me not to forget how you
helped Micah through each trial and you helped Mark and I and our
children. Help us not to forget and to continue to look up to You and
direct our prayers to You knowing that You will continue to sustain
us as we grieve and continue to miss Micah each and every year. Daily
we are fully reliant upon you for everything.
