He Gives Me What I Need

Over the last few weeks, I've been praying for a good friend/co-worker that just found out he has cancer. He is currently in Indiana receiving treatment and possibly going to have to need more surgery. He's not even 30 years old.
My little brother just learned that his 18 mos. old son has diabetes. It seems like every day(here recently), I learn that another one of my friends is faced with the harsh reality of losing a parent. Cancer and sickness seem to be on every corner. But I am thankful that I know the One true healer. Yes, this world has been depressing lately, but I'm glad I know that I have Someone I can go to for ultimate comfort. I know I fall short in living that way, but I hope others see that in me. I've been feeling kind of sorry for myself-thinking I had things "all bad". Then God shows me my problems are nothing compared to those around me. I really don't care for it when He puts me in my place, but sometimes I need that.
