"I'm going to pray for complete healing. Why not?" wrote a friend whose husband has dementia.
"Why not!" I wrote back, and thus I began--and am still praying. "Why not!' Jesus did, and we have examples of his success. And besides, isn't that one of the ways to follow Jesus?
What to pray for; how to pray--so many question as we grapple with what prayer is. No perfect answer, and so we go ahead as best we can. Maybe that's what 'Thy will be done' means. However we pray is God's will. Today God's will is for me to pray for complete healing. Yesterday it was for peace to surround a person. Tomorrow? God knows, God's will will be done.
