“Be still and know
that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
Many parents of children with autism expend all their energy
and their family’s limited resources chasing the latest and greatest “cure” for
autism. Many people in their search for
“cures” miss the blessings along the way.
I am not suggesting that any mother in her right mind would not approach
the throne of grace knowing what God can provide on her child’s behalf. What I am suggesting is that many blessings
are missed along the road to “correct” what some perceive as God’s
mistake. God’s blessings and lessons
along the spectrum are God’s cures for everything that ails us. Being still in the presence of a Holy Lord
and asking him to reveal to us what He wants us to learn about His character
through life’s hardships will bring more healing than any self-proclaimed cure
this world has to offer.
Lord, help me to not
lose sight of You and your blessings as we travel this spectrum called
autism. Help me to be still in your presence
when I am feeling overwhelmed knowing that your healing is the greatest cure
for what ails me. I give my son to You
this day, Lord, because he is Yours first, not mine. I pray you show me those things hidden in
secret places that only You know, Lord.
I know you have a plan for each of us, and I am choosing to be still
today resting in the knowledge that there is no one, no physician, no therapist
greater than you, Lord. To You be the
glory forever and ever.
