How I felt peace in the scariest moment of my life

My entire day had been rough. I had slept through one of my classes, had not eaten, and got about four hours of sleep that night. I had been so tired that I was struggling to perform well at work. I was homesick, and I was just ready to go back to my dorm and sleep for a solid twelve hours. But nothing really prepared me for the news I was about to get. I looked at my phone and realized that I had missed a call from my mom. In fact, I missed two calls from her, so I sent her a quick text saying I would call her back right after I got back from work.

Then I got a call from my brother, which was very unusual from him. So, I took a quick break to answer that call, and my brother was just furious. As I answered the phone my, brother panicking, asked me if I heard what happened to my sister. After an extended conversation I found out that my sister had overdosed on drugs and was in the hospital trying to be resuscitated. I had no idea if she was alive or not, as she had been nearly dead when the paramedics arrived at the scene. I remember that exact moment I was just shaking, every emotion that could ever be imagined was running through me. I went straight to my boss trying to hold back tears to let her know I had to go. I was so angry, sad, frustrated, and confused. I thought I was going to lose my only sister, and my first best friend. For about an hour I heard nothing, and in that hour my entire life had changed.

I went back to my dorm and I just cried and wept. I dropped to my knees and prayed harder than I had ever prayed before. I asked and begged to keep my sister alive and to give her a second chance at life. Suddenly I got this overwhelming feeling that whatever happened was meant to happen. That if the Lord decided to take away my sister in that moment she would be okay, and so would I. He would be there to take care of my family no matter the outcome, and I would be prepared for any outcome. I felt so much love and stability that I was prepared for my sister to die. I was ready to follow the greater plan of God. I received a call about ten minutes later receiving good news. My sister had been revived and was going to be okay. I dealt with a lot of anxiety and anger after this circumstance, but I learned a lot about myself and my faith. I learned that God has a greater plan, and it is not up to us to try to change it.
