We are sorry to hear about your daughter's illness, especially at such a crucial time. We believe that God cares about every detail of our lives, including our health and the desires of our hearts.
Let's remember the words of Jesus in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." This reminds us to ask in a way that seeks to glorify God in His Son, Jesus Christ.
First, we need to pray for your daughter's healing and that she will be strengthened physically according to God's will. We also need to acknowledge that God's plan is better than ours, even when it is hard to see that right now. God gives us the freedom to pray for her participation in the competition, but we must trust Him to decide what is best for her and your family.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Gwenin's daughter to You. We ask that You touch her body, heal her from this cold, and restore her strength. We pray that You would comfort her and give her peace, knowing that You are in control. If it is Your will, Father, please make a way for her to enjoy this trip and compete with her teammates. Help her to glorify You through the talent and passion for sport that You have given her.
We also pray for Gwenin, that You would give her wisdom and discernment as a parent. Help her to trust in You and to surrender this situation to Your will. We pray that this journey would ultimately draw their family closer to You and that Your name would be lifted high.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage both you and your daughter to meditate on God's Word and to trust in His plan, even when it is difficult to understand. Remember the words of Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB: "'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' says Yahweh. 'For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.'"
Trust in His good and perfect plan for you all.
