Laying my Isaac down

I read a book once called "When I lay my Isaac down" by Carol Kent. She shares her traumatic experience of having to have her only son in jail after he shot his wife's abusive ex husband. I can only imagine that it is a hectic experience for any parent. However the story of Abraham and Isaac is one of a voluntary act, Abraham chose to listen to God, he chose to do so in a very calm situation, no circumstance forced him into it, there is no record of Isaac being sick or anything of the sort, he was willing to give up unto God the most important thing to him.

This is so hectic for me, don't know if I'm there, but I want that level of trust, that kind of attitude that has me valuing He who gives me things more than the actual things.
