We are truly saddened to hear about the health struggles that both you and your daughter are facing.
Let's first address the requests of healing and the mentioned diseases. We want to acknowledge and remind everyone of the power of Jesus name. »For this reason, God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.« It is by Jesus' stripes that all healing of any disease, infirmary, or sickness comes. »But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him, and with his stripes we are healed. »
One of the hardest parts of aging and illness is watching loved ones suffer. It's natural to want to take their pain away, but we must remember that God's grace is sufficient, as Paul states, »Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.«
Our Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the reality of things not seen. We shouldn't be praying for God to take away our suffering without also asking him to replace it with his strength, love, wisdom, grace, and mercy. We can all attest to the fact that our individal lives are wrapped in a such a temporal short stay here on earth. But we serve a God who can do anything! Jesus will heal any who come to him and ask. We have been given authority over all of the power of the enemy!
When Jesus said »Ask and it shall be given, Seek and you will it, Knock and the door will open.« he was talking about things such as this. He wants to heal. He doesn't want to withold healing. He has the authority but gave the earth to us to have dominion over and we in turn have given our authority to him. So it is as simple as praying and believing that we receive. Then thank him for the gift he has given. When we go to him with a desire to please him, to know him, and to be changed, he's faithful to act!
So we pray,
Dear Heavenly Father,
