How can I be praying for a new set of lungs for my dear sweet friend when that means that someone else's life will end? The hurt, fear and sadness I feel over the thought of losing Jane is in essence what I am wishing on someone else's family. One difference is that Jane needs healthy lungs, someone who is vibrant, living life well, waking up each day to face it like they are going to live forever, but they won't... and because of that, my friend might have a chance. Can I really pray for that?
Tonight I pray for peace in my heart, strength for Jane, Steve and their family and for God to somehow make up his mind. Taking a life to give to another can't be an easy decision, but I don't know how much more her body can take...

Best not to ask for specifics when coming to God, I think. I think you got it right when you asked for peace. Peace that only God knows when and where and that is not for us to be concerned with. God does know our concerns and takes care of them in His time not ours. Lessons are learned. Jane is either teaching them or learning them. Remembering our God is good and doesn't punish. Turn to Him and He will not abandon us. Today I too will pray for peace, whatever that means for Jane and those who love her.
