When my ...I totally and completely understand this. When my mother-in-law was dying last year, I didn't ask God to heal her. I asked for courage, hope, strength, all that, but not for healing. And for the exact reason you mentioned: I was afraid he wouldn't, and then I would be angry or disappointed, or worse, disbelieving. <br /><br />But when I mentioned this to someone in the aftermath of her death (I think I was guilty for not praying for her healing), she said, "God knew anyway, because he knows your heart." I had forgotten about that, of course -- that God knows all of us, inside and out. He knows what we need, what we think, what we yearn for, even if we don't put it to words. <br /><br />God didn't heal my mother-in-law in the end, but her death was filled with peace and love, and I find I am grateful for that, and it is enough. <br /><br />I will pray for you, friend, and for healing for your dad. (that's the other thing about a faith community, you know -- friends and loved ones pray for what you need, too!)Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359712465784943599noreply@blogger.com
