Dear Heavenly Father, You are the Great Physician, and my oldest daughter is so ignorant. Please protect her from her lack of knowledge about medications and restore her from having taken the Naproxen, an NSAID, when she is "allergic" to that category of drugs. I want to wake her up way out in Tijuana, but it is only 6:20 a.m. there and I would imagine that she is sound asleep, perhaps even more because she is sick. This is incredibly hard for me as Mama, You know. My heart races to reach her and educate her and get her to an epi-pen!! Or at least Benadryl or some other antihistamine. But here I sit, Lord, forcing myself to pray. Please...please protect her and heal her. This is one act of faith on my part. You graciously indulged my anxiety last night by having her respond to me. Now, please, wake her up just enough to respond again, if I may be so bold--actually, so weak--to ask.
I know...I get a little bit annoyed with all the people who pray for medical problems and healing. This is hypocritical of me. Forgive my two-faced hypocrisy, I ask, since You, too, have the heart of a parent and understand the desire to keep Your children from harm--even if the harm is brought on by their own stupidity. In fact, maybe especially because of their own stupidity!
Lord, there is so little time to pray. I would do this for hours--pray, that is. But I have responsibilities and I must attend to the rapid passage of time. Please make time for our praying soon? I love You, and I trust that You love my daughter and will keep her in Your hands until her body can get rid of the medicine. In the power of the Holy Trinity who love and serve each other~~Amen.
