Hi rmoore!
A few years ago my mother came to see me and tell me that Dad was needing an urgent operation and because of his age [he was much older than my mom] the chances of recuperating [from the operation] was minimal. However, if he did not have this operation, he would die. Both my parents were unbelievers at the time and I knew that my mom was relying on my faith in God for a miracle...I went into prayer and talked to the Lord about Isaiah 38 and said "Lord, you added another 15 years onto Hezekiahs life, you can also do this for my father because he is not saved and if he dies right now, I will never see him again" I wrestled with the Lord the whole night until dawn on this matter...in the midst of it all I could hear the Holy Spirit telling me to relent [cease resistance] but I could not because I knew what the price would be...so I continued. Finally I relented and said that whatever happens Lord, let your will be done.
I prayed that when the doctors [specialists] check up on him the following day, that they will find nothing and Lord I pray that you will let him come home from the hospital because he hates being there. To make a long story short...my father, who was in hospital at the time, was checked over by specialists [prepped before possible surgery]and they could not find a thing wrong with him...All they said was " whatever was there before, is not there now" and that was it.
He was sent home that day. My mom got saved through it and my dad got saved later on. BTW...God added another 7 years to my dads life and he has now gone to be with the Lord. My mom is still following the Lord I am believing for the rest of my family [brothers and sisters]...

I learned the we must always trust God whatever the outcome of prayer may be because he knows things that we are not privy to and he holds our lives in the palm of his hands.... :wub:
Bless ya!
