Spending the summer working at a local hospital in the pastoral care department, I got to hear people talk about God often. Sometimes the things people say are painful, sometimes painfully true, occasionally trite, raw, or insightful. Their stories may be unknown to you, but their pain, fears, faith, or doubt are not. This is a collection of isolated statements without context that were made about, or perhaps to, God that stood out the most from each day I spent at the hospital. They are numbered Day One through Day Fifty, and are followed by a series of reflections from the summer spent doing hospital ministry.

Day Twenty Four

It’s a miracle; I mean I feel bad for the 50% who don’t survive, but the fact that I’m free is something I give thanks to God’s grace for. . .God’s grace and mercy.

Day Twenty Two

I just feel so ashamed, so, so ashamed. . .lower than a snake’s belly because my faith is wavering and I don’t know what to do.

Day Twenty One

We’re doing fine; just trying to keep faith. . .which, honestly. . . It’s just. . .it’s just really hard.

Day Twenty

I was an alcoholic for thirty years and I’m two and a half months sober; I just joined a church, and I’ve always had some sort of faith in God, but this being Christian thing is lonely.

Day Nineteen

I know your a chaplain and a woman of God, so pardon my language, but it’s just one damn thing after another.

God is there. I know it. He has to be there.

We must be doing something right if the Devil’s trying this hard to bring us down.

Day Sixteen

I know that “if God brings you to it, he’ll bring you through it,” but I’m just really wondering when he’s going to give these tired shoulders a rest.

Day Fifteen

She’s with God now, and that’s a much better place to be.
