The Fog Cannot Win - #6030
The evil may have its hour of filling your horizon, but the Son's going to win! The grief will not last forever. Your prodigal will one day be carried home on the shoulders of the Good Shepherd. The doubts you're having in the darkness can't change what you heard from God when it was light. The answers you need will break through your confusion and struggle. The sadness of the fog is going to succumb to the joy of God's much more powerful sunlight.

How does one “will themselves” to die? My 90 year old Mother suffered a stroke last month which has left her in need of total care. She can’t recall the past 13 years and is asking about her brothers who have been dead for years. She believes in Jesus Christ as her Savior and is ready to go. She asks, “what do I need to do?” I don’t know what to tell her. Stop eating? She’s only eating bites of food as it is and has lost 20 pounds this past month and is down to 116 pounds. She so fragile she can’t keep her head up. How do we pass from this life unto the next. Her body is tired, weak, and failing. We have told her that it’s OK to go, that we love her, that her work is complete. We have given her permission to leave, but she continues to linger. I’ve prayed. What else is there to do? What is the purpose of this lingering.
