My heart is having conflict about this and I'd like to hear your thoughts. My mom is in the hospital right now, in ICU, for various reasons. We believe and pray that she will be healed, and get out of this alive, but my heart is torn between asking for healing, and allowing God to do his will.
I am very against this doctrine of almost demanding God to do what you want regardless of his plans for you. How can I ask for healing, and have faith that it will be done, without feeling like I'm demanding Jesus do heal someone he maybe does not want to heal, someone he wants to take to heaven with him? I am scared of putting all of my faith into this prayer, and realize God had different plans. I would accept everything with open arms, but I am scared of ending up disappointed by this. I suppose that's the key of faith, to believe no matter what, but for some reason I am struggling in this regard. Jesus conquered death, so whatever may happen, we aren't losing this battle. But I am, as a daughter, asking God to have mercy and heal my mom, and I want to pray with faith, since that's something Jesus literally said himself — but for some reason, I don't know why, I am so scared of believing this can happen since I am quite terrified of making God feel like I'm demanding it, even when I know he knows my heart, and he knows I am asking from a place of pain.
I would appreciate so much if you could give me your thoughts. If you are not a christian, please refrain from commenting. My family and I are going through a very difficult season and I just need words of encouragement from fellow brothers/sisters in Christ. If you could pray for my mom, that would mean the world to me. Her name is Patricia Norma Jorge, we are from Argentina.
God bless <3
