Why We Created “Truth for Trials” Cards

Year ago, my toddler son was so sick he couldn’t sleep without waking up with blood in his diaper several times a night. Hewas so weak from not eating and his joints hurt so muchthat he reverted tocrawling again.

My husband and I and our doctors had no idea what was going on. It took ongoing doctors’ visits, many painful tests, experiments with medicationsand three months’ time to finally discover he had the life-long autoimmune disease called Crohn’s Disease.

Watching our toddler waste away with absolutely no control over the situation was torturous for me, especially being 9 months pregnant at the time.

But, do you know what sustainedmy husband and me through that terrible time in a very tangible way ?

Friends. Friends who prayed for us, brought us meals, stayed home with my sick child so I could go to church or take a walk, and–most of all–reminded us of God’s promises and hope in the midst of trials. Our friendspointed us to the only One who can truly sustain us, strengthen us and comfort us when the weight of life feltlike it might break us.

And, God met us in that awful, awful year in a way I will never forget. His mercies were new every morning. He did draw near to us as we drew near to him. He has brought good toour family’s life through this trial. God has shown us again and again thathe is faithful to his promises.

Over the years, Polly and I have found ourselves trying to encourage friends and family through difficult trials more and more. And, on the flip side, we’ve neededthat encouragement ourselves. I guess it’s just a fact of life as we get older in this broken, fallen world.

There are few ways I know better to tend to a suffering, distraught friend than by simply being there for them, serving them and pointingthem to God’s hope-filled promises in the Bible.All of thosethings in combination were balm for my soul when my son’s situation was so tenuous.
