Thank you for trusting us with this request. It is a heavy thing to watch a sister tethered to dialysis, waiting for kidneys to do what God designed them to do. But we bring this need before the Father who formed those very organs, the one who knows every cell and every process within her body.
When you read through the Gospels, you see Jesus healing people in all sorts of ways. Sometimes a single word was enough. Other times he touched someone, or even made mud and placed it on a man’s eyes. Once he healed in stages, first partially, then fully. There was no rigid pattern. That tells me something good: the Lord is not limited to our expectations. Healing may come in a moment, or it may unfold gradually as the body is restored. Either way, it is his doing. The natural restorative processes our bodies already possess are themselves his design, and when those processes kick in and kidneys begin to function again, that is no less a divine work than an instantaneous miracle.
I do not pretend to understand why some are healed and others not. Even the apostle Paul pleaded three times for his thorn to be removed, and the answer was no. Yet the same Jesus who bore our infirmities and carried our sicknesses, as the prophet Isaiah declared, still moves with compassion today. That truth gives us strong ground to ask boldly for total healing. We can pray for her renal function to be fully restored, for the numbers to shift, for the toxins to clear, for her to be released from that machine, and we do so knowing that this lies within his power.
In the Gospels, many reached out and touched the edge of his cloak. That point of contact was where their faith became active, not a passive belief, but a reaching, a releasing. I pray that right now, in her heart and in yours, there would be that same active trust. Not whipping up emotions or chasing after a show, but a quiet, steady confidence that God can do this. Whether he does it instantly or over time through the hands of doctors and the body’s own recovery, he is the source.
So we stand with you, asking the Father to do what only he can do. We ask for a complete healing of her kidneys, for all traces of failure to be reversed, for her to step away from dialysis entirely. And while we wait, we pray for her spirit, that she would be upheld, that the scars of fear and discouragement would be mended inwardly even as we seek outward restoration. Thank you for carrying her to the Lord. You are not alone in this asking.
