home. I know that in all three scenarios, He will make all
            things work for good (See Romans 8:28).
            Greater still, I know that He has invited me to come boldly
            into His throne of grace that I may find help in time of need
            (Hebrews 4:16). He also dares me to ask Him that my joy
            may be full (John 16:24). This is what I ask of God that my
            joy may be full: that Wilma will come home, alive and well,
            as if covid had never happened.
            Needless to say, I’m careful not to presume that this is God’s
            specific will for Wilma at this point. I’m careful not to put
            God in a box, especially in a box I had created. But unless
            God reveals otherwise, I will hold on to this box and keep
            believing for a miracle. I’m not being naïve nor fatalistic.
            But unless God reveals unequivocally that the box He had
            prepared for Wilma is different from what I have in mind, I
            will keep expecting her to come home to us alive and well.

            I believe that God, being the good Father that He is, will not
            give me a stone if I ask for bread, a snake if I ask for fish
            (Matthew 7:9). I come before God like a child asking his
            loving  father  to  give  him  the  desire  of  his  heart.  I  come
            before  my  Father  in  heaven,  asking  and  believing  for  a
            miracle for Wilma. Thank You for encouraging me to keep
            on  believing  in  a  miracle.  Even  more  so,  thank  You  for
            believing in me.
            Prayer:

            Lord, You are the Most High, All-powerful, All-knowing,
            and All-present God. You are righteous in all Your ways,
            and You never make mistakes. You deserve our adoration,
            worship, and praise. We exalt You and bless Your name as
            the One with the final say in our lives. Help us to completely
            trust Your sovereign will. You are our El Elyon.

                         El Elyon – The Most High God
