my child's daily prayer

"Dear Jesus, thank you for Mom, Dad, Damon, Ella and Milk (our dog). Thank you for Nana and Pa and help Nana to feel better, no oxygen treatment, no breathing treatment. Please, Please, help her to feel all better." -Clay

...there is much suffering and pain in this world. i do not claim to believe that God always answers our prayers in the ways that we think He should. but today we give all the praise to our Father who very specifically answered the persistent prayer of this child. clay believes in a God who loves us and hears our prayers for his nana's healing. today, nana went to the pulmonary (lung) doctor and after looking at her x-ray and testing her oxygen levels with light activity, he said she needs, 'no oxygen treatment' and to use the 'breathing treatment as needed'. it doesn't get much better than that--GLORY TO GOD! i wanted to share this story because this is the third prayer since my mom has been diagnosed with cancer that has been answered in this way. each time clay finds out that his prayer has been answered, he is never surprised and yet very excited. tonight, he will thank God for answering his prayer in this way and then again ask God, with the great faith of a child, to heal his nana in another specific way!
