Thanks so much Cori for sharing your gift of faith and hope, and for e-mailing me a few days ago and asking if it would be okay for you to post this request for me. I haven't had the courage to get on here and directly ask everybody to pray that the ability to move and feel my legs would come back. I've asked for other, smaller things surrounding my legs, but not that. I guess I should confess that asking for that absolutely terrifies me. I'm so scared that I will be disappointed, or that other people will be disappointed and lose faith because of what happens to me. I'm scared that things like what Cori described above, miraculous healings, don't really happen, even though some of my totally sane friends have witnessed them. Most of all, I'm scared that God isn't listening, or it's just not part of his plan for me. If that's true, then how can He say He loves me?
So, having confessed this, please also pray that God would comfort me in my fear, and strengthen my faith that His will for me is perfect, no matter what happens. |
