What’s Next

by Vonette Bright

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”  Psalm 143:8

Jana Alcorn knelt beside her son’s bed.

Night-time prayer had been special for Jordan and his dad.

But Jana’s husband Bill had died. A huge void was left. The oncologist explained that Bill had cancer as a result of his exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. He lived only twelve weeks after the diagnosis.

As representatives for Christ, Bill and Jana had helped others facing that same threat. Now, words seemed ineffective and comfortless for her.

But as Jana looked at her son, God spoke to her heart. Her purpose now was to raise Jordan to be a godly man. Friend, God says –  “Trust Me

Jana admits she’s still learning that lesson. But God is restoring her joy for living and giving her strength in the task of raising a godly son.

Yes, trust God through the valley of the shadow of death. Don’t Throw in the Towel!
