Sometimes I have to remind myself that I cannot control everything in my environment. For example, we have outlet covers and those annoying cabinet things so Madelyn doesn't shock herself or play with cleaning supplies. But at the same time, she could totally fall down the stairs. I remember a lot of the stupid stuff we did as kids and sometimes am amazed we all made it. I want everything to go right for Madelyn, but I can't always protect or go to battle for her.
At some point, we cannot rely on the chariots and horses that went up against the Israelites in countless battles, and lost. Like the Israelites, I must have faith that the Lord will protect in ways I have no control over, will fight the battles I cannot win.
