I watch her.
She walks slowly.
She moves as if the whole world is on her shoulder.

She cries and I hold her close.
I tell her we will get through this.
I don’t think she believes me.

The truth is I don’t think I believe myself.
I don’t know how to reach her.
I don’t know what to do.
I hide behind work, television and the computer.

She sleeps in the back room – the room of depression.
She will not come out to join me.
I don’t go there. It hurts too much.

I am helpless.

I pray.
He answers.
He is the answer.
Nothing is too difficult for Him.

I trust Him.
He is still Sovereign.
He will do what He will do.

I watch her.
She walks slowly toward me.
She moves as if the whole world is on her shoulder.

I hold her close; capture her tears and whisper in her ear,
“We’re going to get through this, Honey.
It’s going to be alright.”
And I believe it – she believes it too

We, together – mother and daughter - face another day because God does care.

An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. Proverbs 12:25
