It’s amazing that God put that doctor in the ER that night to catch what no one else could find. Amazing, but still hard.
Category Archives: Sayings on God
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 Thirteen
I know three things: I love this woman, our bodies are just shells for our souls and I want to be cremated, and TheLordJesusChrist is my OneTrueSavior.
Day Twelve
Well, we love God, each other, and laughter. . . that’s how we make it through.
Day Eleven
Y’all can pray, that’s fine. . .I still believe in God, but he hasn’t been there for me recently, so I really don’t want prayer around me right now.
Day Ten
It’s awful, but without faith, I couldn’t endure.
Day Nine
God led me to the Catholic Church, he led me to my fiancé, and he will lead me through this.
Day Eight
You think you know, but then this happens, and you have no idea about anything anymore.
Day Seven
You know: you love God, you know your Bible, but still you can’t help but ask “Why, God?”
Day Six
. . .he casts out fear. . .the love of God casts out fear. . .
Day Five
Lord, take this away from me! I have given everything to you and I need you to pull this away from me; Lord, why?? Why do I have to do this? Please, God!
