For myself I take the story of King David and Bathsheba’s baby boy.
David stayed before the Lord, he did eat or wash himself while praying that the sick child would live and that God would raise him up. He did not give up...until....
They told him that the news was bad and that the child had died.
Only then did David arise , wash , anoint himself , and went up to the house of the Lord to worship.
I know that this is not the place to preach.
Nathan the prophet had told David that his seven or eight year old child had been condemned to die the second death for his, David's, sins, and David Pleaded with God for the child, possibly to live, because the child had not sinned. David pleaded with God up and until the time the child died physically, after which he arose and went into the Temple to worship. David understood what he was praying for and about. The bible is silent on what David was praying for, except that he was pleading with the Lord. What his pleas were we do not know.
I have seen first hand prayers given for babies with major physical defects that would not allow them to live for very long after their births, where people have prayed for and worked at, saving the child's life from dying. The Lord granted their requested, but the child became a burden for them for the rest of their lives.
It is important for us to pray within God's will for the person(s). My prayer was caged in terms that requested the best outcomes for Willie and all of his family without knowing what those outcomes would be.
Now my prayers are to thank God that He has heard my prayer for Willie and his family and to thank God for bringing about the best outcome for Willie and his family members, whatever that may mean.
Shalom
