God trusted Amy & her husband with a child of diabetes, to where too much insulin given and her daughter could die.
With the Lord, Amy and her husband will be able to handle this condition. They trust and lean on God for help.

Amy was mad at God and questioning Him but God said to her, I never left you. I was there every moment with you. I had ordained every step to make sure Avery was going to thrive. You have to trust and know that I love this child more than you do and that I am going to keep her safe and secure.
