In this tender episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my brave daughter Hadessa joins me to share part of our family's recent season of suffering. We talk about the fear of the ER, painful needles, multiple transfusions, and the long hours that make a hospital room feel so heavy. You will also hear about healing and faith in small, real ways: a child's prayer, a joke told to every nurse, and a moment of calm in the middle of uncertainty. In this conversation: - Why real faith can be simple, even childlike - How God stays close when our bodies are weak and our hearts are tired - Encouragement if you are caring for someone you love through illness If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at [https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact](https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact). I would love to hear from you. ## 📝 Related Blogs 4 blog articles inspired by this episode [ ![Featured image for Trusting God Through Illness: How Faith Carries Us in a Child’s Health](https://res.cloudinary.com/guidedsteps/image/upload/w_640,h_640,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto/v1784921951/perspectivesintopractice/blog/trusting-god-through-illness-how-faith-carries-us-in-a-childs-health-1784921951250.jpg) Blog article ## Trusting God Through Illness: How Faith Carries Us in a Child’s Health When health crises hit home, trusting God through illness brings comfort and hope.
