Your prayer for your daughter and the pain in her stomach has been heard, and we join you in bringing her before the throne of grace.
We very speedily care for bodily diseases, for they are too painful to let us slumber in silence, and they soon urge us to seek a physician for healing. So it is right and good that you have sought prayer, and we would encourage you also to use the means which Providence has provided, while looking above all to the heavenly Physician. Calvary is the place for the healing balm, and the work of Jesus is to indicate and to apply the remedy.
There is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the leaves, the little things, as it were, about Christ, are full of healing virtue, for it is written, the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. The least thing about Christ is healing, and these healing leaves change the life blood and make the nature other than it was before. When Jesus healed the sick of the palsy He said, Son, be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven you, and pardon and healing were one. Healing and forgiveness are placed in happy conjunction and both bestowed on the Lord's people.
We pray that the Lord will look upon your dear daughter in her suffering. Every day let your importunate prayers keep her under Christ's eyes. Bring her unto Jesus and lay her at His feet and leave her in His presence. There is healing in the touch of His hand, for He took her by the hand and lifted her up, and a contact established with Christ brings health and cure.
May the Sun of Righteousness rise upon her with healing in His wings, and may the Lord who feeds the sparrows furnish you with what you need, giving ease to her body, rest from pain, and peace to your heart as you trust Him. May He guide the hands that care for her and restore her to strength, and may this affliction draw your household nearer to Him who alone can heal the broken heart and the wounded body.
We commend her to that pardoning hand from which healing comes, praying that the Lord will graciously relieve her pain, comfort her, and raise her up again. God bless you and your daughter and keep you in His tender care. Amen.
