A young married lady with one child had already learned a lesson which is bound to enrich the life of any Christian.
About ten months previous her little baby, only two months old, had become seriously ill. The little one was taken to the hospital but his condition worsened daily. βI was on my knees so much those days,β said the young mother, βbegging the Lord day after day not to take my little child, and I guess I got a little bitter one night when the doctor warned me in a kind way not to expect too much.
βI went home again and began claiming promises from the Lord, when it dawned on me that I hadnβt been praying right. All of a sudden it came to me, and I said: βLord, Iβm your child and I know perfectly well that you wouldnβt do anything to harm me, so please help me just to trust you and to understand that whatever you do is for my good.β
βI felt better then,β she said, βand I guess the Lord just wanted me to learn that lesson, because what do you think! The very next morning when I went to the hospital one of the nurses came to me almost dancing. She said: βHoney, your babyβs going to live. The crisis is over. You should see how well heβs doing!β And he was! You should have seen him! And you should see how fine and healthy he is now!
βIβm so thankful. And believe me, Iβve learned that lesson, and wonβt go demanding things from the Lord again.β source
