Though we think it’s insanity to accept a truce with terrorists, I keep praying that our leaders see things from a perspective that none of us will ever see or hear.
The other day, a friend of mine on Facebook posted the following:
“Starting to feel like an emotional yo-yo on a string that is getting dangerously frayed.”
And it resonated with me. Very much.
It feels as though our prime minister has sold us out by accepting a ceasefire.
Israel looks weak yet again and Hamas will just take this time to re-stock. How can the government justify this to citizens under fire and to the families of the wounded and killed soldiers? I just don’t understand…
It’s been a very long, painful and difficult summer for all of us on both personal and national levels. Our three boys. Rockets, sirens, war. Our brothers and sisters in uniform risking their lives for us. Sweet heroes injured and killed at the hands of evil murderers. A government that seems to care more about the world’s opinion of us than about us, the citizens who have a right to live in peace and safety.
I keep telling myself that there must be some big secrets that I don’t know. That Bibi is doing what’s best for us even though we can’t see it.
Even though we think it’s insanity to accept a truce with terrorists, I keep praying that he sees things from a perspective that none of us Israelis will ever see or hear. I really want to trust that he has our best interests at heart, but when I think about him and his choices, I freeze in fear. So I change my train of thought and think about You, Abaleh, our Father in Heaven.
You know what’s best for Your Holy Nation, Am Yisrael. You love us and want what’s best for us. Everything that happens is for the best. Even growing pains. Even loss and heartache have a higher purpose. So every time fear creeps into my heart, every time I worry about my people, instead of focusing on the choices my government is making, I will continue to make the attempt to remind myself that You run the world, Abaleh. That You know EXACTLY what You’re doing.
And the main thing is not to fear.
