You
answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness,
O God
our Savior,
the
hope of all the ends of the earth
and of
the farthest seas
NOTE: Lord, I know
of your promise to answer prayer; I know of your power to answer prayer, but I
don't know what is best. My prayer is that you would heal our baby boy and allow him
the chance to live a normal life. I realize that eternity is far more important
than a few measly years on earth and that your concern stretches well beyond
earthly years. But I know that you did heal people while you were on earth and
you were delighted to do it. Please delight yourself to heal our boy -- show
your glory to all those who know his situation. Thanks. Amen.
((TODAY, 3 Jul 2012:
At some point in the pregnancy, an ultrasound had indicated the potential for a
severely handicapped child. We spent a lot of time praying during those days
for our unborn son. Later, after the birth, doctors would make comments about
apparent surgeries that never happened (cleft palate) or how he wasn't quite in
any syndrome or how fortunate he was to be alive. Of course, it would have been
much easier if there had been no problems at all, and for whatever reason, God
did not answer those prayers at that time. I think one of the hardest lessons
of life is learning that "no" is an answer to prayer.))
