God's Will

We pray for miracles, but ultimately it is God's will to decide.

Our child arrived three months premature. Through divine grace, we reached the town hospital and later transferred to the city's NICU. Every day was uncertain news. A phrase we heard repeatedly was "Two steps forward, one step back." About 6 weeks in, the head nurse delivered some distressing news: our child had an enlarged heart, diagnosed as cardiomyopathy. Blood was being redirected from other vital organs to the heart, signaling the end of life in a few hours. She informed us that they had contacted an infant heart specialist, the only one in the state. But he was two hours away.

Devastated, we retreated to a quiet corner for prayer. We bared our souls to God, ending with, "Our child is now in Your hands." I immediately called my brother to come to the hospital. The head nurse briefly cleared the room, allowing my brother and me to administer a healing blessing in the name of Jesus Christ. Then, we anxiously awaited the arrival of the heart specialist.

One hour after the blessing, the specialist wheeled in a bulky sonogram machine. Accompanied by the head nurse and the nursing staff, he approached our baby. After conducting a few scans, he asked loudly, "Is this the right baby?" To which they all confirmed, "Yes." He then calmly stated, "I see no signs of cardiomyopathy. The heart looks normal." We were all overjoyed.

The head nurse walked over with a smile and said, "Looks like your prayer worked."

It wasn't me or my brother. It was God's will through our loving Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

The safest place to be is in the center of God's will.
