Thank you, Momsage, for your good advice. You are right.
Our daughter passed away December 6, 2023. Monique was diagnosed on September 26, 2023, with colon cancer that spread to her liver, lungs, plus 11 lesions in her brain. Monique never smoked, drank, drugs. My heart is broken.
All that to tell you that we stopped praying for a miracle for me and prayed for a miracle for her, but God took her home.
I am at the point of what George Muller cried out for, heaven or restoration. The Lord healed him.
I will read and reread Matthew 6:9-13.
From my love to you, Momsage, I pray the Lord heal you of arthritis. God bless you. :)
As Momsage said one of the hardest things a parent can face in this life is loosing a child. But you can see it in two different ways.
The first is asking God why that happened to her, why didn't He allow you having your child for a whole lifetime.
But there is another way of seeing it. Thanking God that He gave you such a precious present that you enjoyed for 20 years. It was really a precious present. And you enjoyed it. It was a personal present directly from God and especially for you. Give thanks to Him. But a time had reached that in His wisdom He considered necessary, for her own good, and for His own good reasons to take her back. What a beautiful present you were given. God must love you very much to give her to you. May God bless you more. There are many ways God can bless you next. So move on and rely on Him. By the way your daughter is waitting for you in the Paradise where she is now, when time comes. This time you will have her back and engoy her for ever.
There is a couple in my place who I know that they lost a child. The kid was drowned in the sea when they went swimming one day. They went through a tough time in the begining. But eventually they stood up. Now 10 years later they look happy, they have had 2 more children and they are always there to give comfort and encouragement to other people who face serious health problems with their children. They are really remarkable and they do a remarkable job. Trust in God, He will comfort you and who knows you may have to comfort and encourage other people who go through the same trials.
About your health, nobody knows the reasons until God reveals. But you can take as an example that widow who was going all the time to that Judge until she received what she was asking for. There are many examples in the Bible about people who persisted and never gave up about what they aked God for. Why? Because they had faith in their heart. So stand up, Who knows, you may have work to do next. GBU
Dear Pnovello: I am so sorry about Monique. I think losing a child must be one of the hardest trials we can have on this earth to face. It brings us serious grief, but we must, as I believe you have, turn to God for comfort and acceptance of this trial. What a blessing that she is now with her precious Lord being loved by Him in such a special way.
I understand why you stopped praying for yourself and started praying for Monique, a mother and father's love is immeasurable, but remember, God can hear all prayers of His Children at all times. God Bless :)
Thank you Momsage for your love for me, your sister in Christ. Please pray for me, I am down and out. Wondering why no healing? It will be 4 years in June. I have had massive hair loss and it is very painful for women to go through this. My husband and I have been claiming 1 Corinthians 11:15 and nothing. Thank you and God bless you.
When I was young I received many compliments on my long, shinny hair. Even when I started turning gray a man told me my long gray hair sparkled in the sunshine and was very pretty. I was flattered. But now that I have arthritis in my shoulders I must keep my hair very short and I am kind of going bald on my forehead but I learned a long time ago to ask God that no matter what I pray for, or long for, that in my heart I want it to always be in His complete will. I am grateful that my short hair is so easy to take care of. Our petition must be to simply ask God to work in a situation and help us to know and yield to His will. I can tell, by what you told me, that this may not be the way you and your husband are asking God to move in your life. You mistakenly believe that God should answer your prayer as YOU choose for HIM to do, instead of trusting Him that His Way is far better even if you can't understand that right now. Dear sister, I truly hope that you understand why I am giving you this advise; please let God's will be what He wants for you so that you can have peace in your heart about this situation. Perhaps the scripture you might want to focus on is Matthew 6: 9-13, especially where it says "Thy Will be done." I pray you and your husband will take this advise to heart

Dear sister: I hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord. My prayers are continually with you.
I believe the Lord wants me to give you some advise and I hope you will take it in the spirit of love and concern from the Lord and myself that it is given to you. This is not any kind of prophesying over you or anything else like that. I just want to talk to you. My heart really, truly goes out to you in what your going through, however, perhaps there is a better way of understanding what you are so troubled about. In the book of Job after all that he goes through, including listening to his friends mistaken judgment of him for why he is suffering, Job finally realizes that God is God and that He is in control and that he needed to just thank God for loving him and being in control of his life. That is the key, Pnovello, perhaps you are praying for what you long for but it isn't in God's will for you right now. That my seem wrong; why would God want you to be losing your hair? We can't and shouldn't question the thoughts of God and what He wants for our life. SEE PART 2
PASLM 37
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass
God Bless :)
