Humble Prayer Warrior
I am responding to the women who's husband died and stated that she was depressed because she thought by prayer that he would live. I tried to find your post so that I could respond directly to you. First I send my heartfelt condolences to you for the loss of your husband. Also, I grieve with you for your sorrows by losing your mate. Let me share this with you I am sure you know this already..You are not the only person who has prayed for your loved one to live or recover from any sickness that was not healed and died. My youngest daughter my beloved daughter had brain cancer age 43 years young with a 3yr. and 14 year old children and husband.. I prayed fervently because I am the mother we had prayer warriors worldwide praying for her even her church pastor and many members. I cried out before the Lord day and night the cry of a mother's anguish watching her child die before her eyes, I deeply wanted the Lord to heal her and restore her life and strength. Oh how I cried and cried and cried unto the Lord until I had no strength left in me,until my blood pressure rose to dangerous levels I felt I was going to pass out. Up to the very day I got the news she had just died at her home while watching my baby girl death waiting for the people to come pick up her body I laid next to her beholding her hands that reminded me of the day she was born when I looked at those tiny little fingers and toes and beholding my precious baby in my arms. I watched how the chemotherapy burned her whole body her beauty had faded because of the severe burns from chemo. I laid looking at her face that once smiled so beautifully and her mouth that once shared the gospel of Christ with others, I thought about all the times we talked on the phone for hours talking about the Lord and so many other memories. I screamed so loud in her apartment that people from the top floor came down to her apartment wanting to know what was wrong. When they carried her body out I cried out no don't take her away or cover her face in that black bag. They put her in that car to take her body to the place where they take dead bodies. In my grieving state of mind as her mother I told my husband lets hurry and follow the van that carried her body I wanted to be with my daughter not to die NO! but to spend that time with her I wanted to know what was the next step and etc. We followed the van to the funeral home but we turned around and went home..The memories of us doing things together and her love for Jesus was devastating. My daughter full of faith trusted the Lord to heal her so she could raise her children so that they would not be motherless. I will stop on this point to bring to your attention as to why I am speaking this to you and anyone else who are going through deep sorrows of losing a loved one. There are different degrees of our sufferings our grief when losing a loved one. A mother who carried her child who died whether in infancy,teen years or older years. Her grief is far greater than a brother or sister's grief. A husband or wife who has lost their spouse their grief is not to the degree of a Mother who has carried her child in her womb. So therefore here's what's happened! I had to except the fact that Almighty God did not heal my daughter and He chose to take her home. Although, God has all power to raise the dead, heal the sick and restore sight to the blind. I had to respect God's answer, Now, with His answer what do I do next? Will I turn away from serving My Lord and Savior because my daughter had died. Am I going to be angry with God? Am I going to become bitter with God and loose faith or trust in Him. So what I did was BLESS THE LORD OH MY SOUL AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS..I started thanking and praising the Lord for blessing me with my daughter for the years He gave her to us. I thank and praise the Lord that she was saved! Glory to God!! I thank and praised the Lord that she was with Jesus, No more pain, sorrows or grief from her body wrecked with pain because of the Brain Cancer that ravished her whole body. I thank and praised God that one day I will see her again while we all can worship and praise our Lord and Savior Jesus forever! In Heaven there will be no more pain, death or sorrows.. Thank you Jesus! So I say to you and anyone who this applies.. What is most important in this life is where will you spend ETERNITY? Have you repented of your sins and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.. Are you walking with Jesus and living according to the word of God the bible. If you are not saved. One day you will meet the same fate Death will surely come and if you are born again blood washed through Christ Jesus.. Heaven will be your Eternal Home.. If you are not born again and have rejected Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior then Hell will be your Eternal home.. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There are only 2 things in life that are sure.. DEATH AND TAXES! God does not guarantee life to no one here on earth even to His own Children.. God bless the readers and those who will take God's precious Love through Christ death on the cross serious and apply to their lives before it is too late. Those of you who are not saved and you want to be saved please respond there are those of us here more than jubilant to lead you to Christ.. Thank you!
