Who wouldn't feel that in your circumstances? If you stopped being afraid it would most likely mean you had stopped caring. You are fearful for the ones you love. Thank God you are still human.

I am so thankful that God is ...Hello dear friends. I am so thankful that God is raining down His compassion on you through his people. Praise God! And hip hip hooray for the Church! I am praying for your little guy and those pesky lung problems of his all the time. It doesn't surprise me that fear quickly creeps in--it is so hard for us to consistently trust, and Satan uses that to his advantage. I will pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to triumph over your fear and to quickly return you to peace and rest in Him who is holding you gently. I love you!
