This thoughtful, reflective post is written by my dear friend and sister in suffering, Bettie Gilbert. Her caring prayers, deep compassion and kindness stem from experiencing the trauma of multiple chronic illnesses and pain and her response to those things. 

They’ve caused her to desperately seek God’s face and learn how to rest her weariness and weakness in His daily provision and grace. If you’re struggling with your own trauma, either physical or emotional, you won’t find a better soul companion to walk beside you with understanding and unerring faith and trust in God’s merciful presence through everything. Do check out her beautiful blog.
