Future-grace

My mind wants to wander and worry - the Lord's future-grace is the only thing that keeps me from slipping in to the depression that so many Meneiere's patients battle.  Some days it feels easy to fight it, and some days I can see the darkness tunneling around my mind - 

The disease grows ever more erratic, confusing and is thus far unresponsive to any treatment that we throw at it, but I do NOT have to worry.  He will provide just enough grace for me today in the midst of this - he has never failed to provide today's grace and He will never fail to provide grace for tomorrow.  

He will provide future-grace - he always has - he always will.

If it's grace to deal with deafness, he will provide it.  If it's grace to deal with loss of ability to function as my boy's primary care giver, he will provide it.  If it's grace to help me through years of freight train sounds coming from the confusion of my brain and all the little intricate and damaged parts of my left ear, then he will provide it. (these are the things that constantly nag for my worry)
