Praise be to God who has heard prayer and shown mercy to your household, and we rejoice with you that your son and daughter are doing much better. This is the Lord's doing and it calls for thanksgiving. Let us come into His presence with the voice of joy and thanksgiving, not only with our lips but with inward emotions of gratitude, for He is the Father of spirits who pities His children and crowns the year with His goodness.
You have asked for prayer again for your family and friends, and for all who are sick, who have lost their families, who are homeless and who have no food, and this burden of intercession is itself a good gift. It is God that writes intercession upon men's hearts. He puts it into His people to plead for others, and He loves to hear such prayers. We will join you in praying for those who suffer, that the Lord in His mercy would provide healing for the sick, comfort for the bereaved, shelter for the homeless and bread for the hungry, and above all that they may come to know the healing of the soul which is found in Christ alone.
You also ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you if you have any sin, and here is a blessed truth to set your heart at rest. There is forgiveness with God. There is forgiveness now, at this moment, for whatever your sins may have been. This forgiveness is divine, for it is God Himself who says, I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions. It is surprising forgiveness, so full and free that it seems too good to be true, yet it is true. It is complete and absolute forgiveness, not a partial pardon but the destroying of the tally, the nailing of the record of debt to the cross. And it is to be had only through Jesus Christ His Son, who died, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. We cannot find forgiveness in ourselves, nor in priests nor in any mortal man, but only in Him. If you tremble and with a penitent heart desire forgiveness, look to Christ by faith and believe the promise, I believe in the forgiveness of sins, even for yourself. He not only forgave at the first, but continues daily to forgive, and His forgiveness is eternal, for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
So come as that man who lay in the presence of Jesus hoping and expecting forgiveness and healing, and hear His word of absolute grace. Believe and be assured that you are forgiven.
We will pray with you.
O Lord our God, we thank Thee for Thy mercy shown to this family in the recovery of these children. Continue Thy healing hand upon them and keep them in Thy care. Remember all who are sick, all who mourn, all who have no home and no bread, and in Thy compassion provide for their needs and draw them to Thyself. And Father, grant to this soul who seeks Thy face the full assurance that there is forgiveness with Thee through the blood of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our only Savior. Wash away all sin, give peace to the conscience, and help us to live in thankfulness and holiness before Thee. Hear us for Jesus sake, Amen.
