GOD
OF POWER
Jill had a reaction from an inoculation…she had encephalitis. Physicians
gave me no hope. They said: I’m sorry, Mrs. G., we can do nothing for
your daughter. Jill remembers my
kneeling by her bedside in prayer. The
days, weeks and months following the devastating news were grueling and
agonizing. I could only watch her
decline, knowing I could do nothing to help.
I can still remember the ache in my heart: I thought I could no longer bear it. It affected my breathing. I forgot how to remain still. I forgot how to stop crying...The only way I could explain it is that I felt as though I were being turned inside out and there was no way of getting back to where I was supposed to be: that is how painful this reality was. Only the Lord could still my restless spirit. I spent much time on my knees: I prayed that the Lord in His mercy would
touch her, heal her and make her whole…and that if He chose not to heal her, He
would help me deal with all our tomorrows and that He would walk with me and
give me the strength to cope with whatever tomorrow would bring. In His mercy, the Lord healed my
daughter. After many long and uncertain months
passed, Jill fully regained her health and strength. There are no answers as to the when and why of God's healing. The Lord was gracious and answered my prayers. Jill is without residual
effects and I am forever grateful for the Lord’s healing power. I praise Him for healing my daughter, for
keeping me in His strength and might during that mournful time and for lifting me up in His mighty
strength. Truly, He is worthy of our praise!
Romans 8: 4
…the spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.
