Whatever that might be. Asking God to help remind me of that when he calls them to something that doesn't look like what I want. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088517635317378472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201873586986489112.post-18531345831901838222013-09-10T14:15:02.071-05:002013-09-10T14:15:02.071-05:00Because being a mother makes you think you know wh...Because being a mother makes you think you know what is best for your child, it is normal to ask God to do your will for them. I had to find out the hard way how to pray for my children and grandchildren. For the first two years of Jennifer's illness, I prayed everyday all day and night sometimes for Him to.heal her completely. I got mad at God for not listening to me and I told him that I was mad! Then on the day they were about to intubate her and make her as "comfortable as possible" , I could no longer endure seeing her body in so much pain and not being able to take care of herself in anyway. I fell on my knees in the hospital bathroom floor and said "you are God and she belongs to you. If this is what you want for her then give me strength and let me see how this glorifies you". I walked down the hall to where I saw her Dr. Leaving her room. He looked at me,with tears running down his cheeks, and said I have done all I can. I went in and sat beside her bed and held her hand. Light filled the room and she got off the bed, walked a straight and steady line and ....well, now my prayers are God's will be done. Nothing more. Nothing less. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
