God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.*

Even when my father-in-law’s house burns down.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

Even when my father-in-law loses his job, and his business, after his house burns down.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

Even when my step-daddy has a heart attack while on the road.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

Even when my sister-in-law gets in her first car accident.

God reigned over the nations;
God was seated on his holy throne.

Even when my boys’ birth mothers chose to drink while pregnant. Even when they were abandoned….again…and again…

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

Even when my body fails me and I don’t feel like a real woman.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

Even when I don’t know if I can handle another rage, or another lie, or another wish that I was not their mom.

God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

Because. He. Is.

Because. He. IS.

Lord, you say that you know the plans you have for me, and that those plans are to prosper me, and not to harm me. You promise that you have plans to give me hope and a future. You promise, Lord, that when I call upon you, that you will answer me. That when I seek you with all my heart, I will find you.**

I know that, Lord. I do.

But I claim that for my family right now. Especially for my precious father-in-law and step-dad. You love them so much. I claim them for you. Right. Now. Touch their hearts. Be their strength when they run out. Be their healer. Be their peace.

Be their God.

Let it be.

Blessings!

Hannah
