Trusting God and the "C-word"

  I am not by nature a worrisome person. A good deal of the happy-go-lucky personality I had as a child has carried over into my adulthood. Naturally, I know understand the cares of life more now then I did then, but I am pretty good at not letting them get to me. Then I found out my Mom has cancer.
  Now I understand what worry is. I have felt the presence of the terrible fog you cannot see through. I have always tried to trust God no matter the circumstances, but this is different then anything else I have ever experienced. Never before have I felt so threated by the world around me and I realize there are so many things I cannot control.
  Then last week my pastor preached a sermon on Isaiah 36-37:7 about Sennacherib's threat to attack Jerusalem. Hezekiah, the king of Judah, responded rightly to the threat against his nation. Instead of looking to the nations around him to free him from his enemies, Hezekiah cried out to the Lord for mercy and deliverance. God listened to Hezekiah's cry for help and He rescued the nation of Judah and destroyed Sennacherib and his army. Hezekiah had great faith in God in the face of adversity. He had great faith in God when his circumstances did not make any sense.
  I needed to be reminded to have a bold and daring faith in God. Right now, I do not understand why my Mom has cancer. I still come to God screaming why. At the same time I am learning to trust Him and he is giving me a peace that pasts all understanding.
