Walking a fine line, or safe in God’s infinite care?

Recently I spent a few days helping my daughter take care of her daughters while their daddy was at a business conference. I was sharing a room with my granddaughter Lily Sue, who is in preschool.

One night she became quite congested, and her coughing wakened both of us. Just about this time her baby sister woke up and wanted to be fed. For about a half an hour the four of us were all together. Mom then scooped up both girls and took them to her room to snuggle so Grammy could go back to sleep.

Instead, though, I felt inspired to stay up praying. I’d seen before how prayer can bring out the power of God’s realness in a way that brings healing.
