Hannah is going through a difficult time now. I had my suspicions that exams were hard work for her and yesterday, I had a glimpse of the ‘difficulties’ in her life.

When Hannah has to study in her room, she likes to call on Daddy to be in the same room with her. While I am there, I give her an occasional word of encouragement and mostly keep her company.

I am certain she would prefer to spend her time on other activities but she puts in diligent effort because she knows Daddy will be pleased with her. She does not ask me to take away the studying and she does not neglect her responsibility. Instead, she counts on Daddy to be by her side in her ‘difficulty’.

When she grows older, I hope she will learn to count on her Father in heaven to be by her side when she goes through the difficult periods in her life.
