Lord, “How can I possibly live with this suffering?” In the silent space of my soul, I sensed Him saying, “One day at a time.”

I was running on empty. My body was weary, and my mind and heart were dry. Sometimes, it felt like caring for the needs of my chronically ill wife took up all the time and space in my life. I needed new tools but wasn’t sure I could find the right place to shop for them.
A little girl memorized this simple hymn, He Leadeth Me, which became a lifelong prayer for every step of her journey.
So how can we walk alongside the chronically ill? The knowledge of being loved by those closest to them simply because of who they are.
