Remember Who God Is in the Storm: Pray for Mike

Friend, are you in the middle of a storm right now? My hand’s raised. Last week I shared the story of my husband’s heart attack 3 weeks ago and how he’s still in critical care. But we can remember who God is in the storm.

We find such comfort knowing that no one or no-thing can thwart God’s plan for Mike. Even though we continue to pray for his medical team’s wisdom and for healing, Mike’s life rests in the
