How I see the Lord's hand in my life

 Last week I challenged my seminary class to look each day and record how they see the Lord's hand in their life. So for the next week I will record how I see Him in my life.

My children are all grown adults now and only 2 still live at home. So there is nothing more scary than not being able to go and help out when needed, Today our daughter who lives in Auckland blacked out. Her doctor is where we live and she couldn't leave Auckland as they are in lockdown. so what do I do. How can I help? After her telling me everything that had happened I told her to ring healthline to get the best advice. From there the decision was to go to the nearest hospital and she was seen promptly. After they checked her over and run some tests. It was determined that this was associated with her anxiety attacks she has been having. The best advice they gave her was deep breathing. For me it was confirmation of the advice I have been giving for a few weeks to deep breathe through different situations. Just to clarify I do not hold a degree in medicine but thought it would the best thing to calm her.

So often when help is asked for I am quickly prompted to either tell her breathe or ring, or take some space away. All of these remedies have helped her get through her anxiety thus far which for some could be crippling. So today when she reached out to me almost instantly in my head was to ring healthline. I know God is present in my life and He will help us in times of need.
