This is easily the most painful time in my life. The grief, anger, hopelessness, regret, pleading, exhaustion, etc. sometimes are so overwhelming. It is in a tragedy that many people feel abandoned by God and doubt in His Love.
It's a funny thing, though, because I have never felt God's presence more in my life than through this crisis. My life is a prayer. The day begins, passes, and ends with prayer. Recited prayer, read prayer, personal prayer, shared prayer with my husband. I can feel God's grace helping us get by every day. I can feel His power by the daily strengthening of our love. I can sense His peace every time I say to Him that I love Him. I can witness His presence in our daily growth.
It's been......nice, for lack of a better word, how prayer has been so comforting and not at all an inconvenience, but a pleasure.
I pray that when we have healed from this tragedy, we still can retain this ardor and devotion to the One who helped us through.

We have been relying on prayer.
