Tucking Ben In
“Every night as I tuck Ben into bed, I lay my hand on his chest to pray.I used to ask God to help him sleep, and to help him to obey and to be happy the next day.

It is a measure of our care for our people that we want to meet the real needs that exist. But sometimes there just isn’t anything you can do.”

Neither Satan nor sickness nor sinful man is sovereign. Only God is. And he is good—and wise and sovereign. —John Piper
