Feeling useless

I am a problem solver. I do not believe anything can be accomplished through worry only through action. Deal with the matter at hand logically and deal with the emotions later.

The situation I find myself facing today has no easy solution. Carrie's body is requiring more surgery. I know that the process is needed, but she has gone through so much in her life that I am frustrated for her. I also have a deep rooted desire to protect her from physical, emotional and spiritual pain. I have prayed, but I am having a tough time releasing this. I just want to be able to fix this for her without the suffering. My mind realizes that I need to trust God with this, but my spirit is struggling.

It is interesting how God allows pain to bring about growth.


James 1:2-4
2Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. 3For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.
