We talk about the fear of the ER, painful needles, multiple transfusions, and the long hours that can 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. A moment of calm in the middle of uncertainty. Hadessa reminds us that real faith can be simple, and that God is close even when our bodies are weak and our hearts are tired. If you are walking through illness, caring for someone you love, or trying to hold onto hope when you do not have answers, I pray this conversation gives you faith encouragement for today.
