Step #4 – To stay calm waiting for test results

Help. I’m scared. I was scared of the MRI and now I’m even more scared of the results. My mind is racing thinking of the possibilities. I’m a nurse and at times this is a huge disadvantage because I can think of so many possibilities, most of them ugly. The not knowing is rough.

Readers: Have you ever had to wait for test results for yourself or a loved one? Are you waiting now for a test result? If you share a prayer request with me on the contact page or in the reply box, I will pray about it.

Dear God,

The not knowing is rough. I need some patience, and I need it now! Does that strike you funny? I know you have a sense of humor. Right now, my own is at an all-time low.

I will concentrate on what I know. You love me. I will hold that thought. Amen.

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you. 1 Peter 5:7
