We pray ... and then wait for the answer.
💥 Pam Padgett was diagnosed with advanced bladder cancer in September, 2022. The doctors said she must have chemotherapy followed by removal of bladder.
Pam immediately prayed that there would be some other way to deal with this other than surgery. She didn't object to the chemotherapy but very much did not want to have her bladder removed by surgery.
Chemo began in October of 2022. Pam read a statement provided by the national association of oncologists which said radiation with chemo may produce the same results as chemo with surgery. The head doctor said her type of cancer was not ideal to treat with chemo/radiation. The 5 medical people dealing with Pam's problem all said her case was not ideal for radiation, but they agreed to do radiation instead of surgical removal of the bladder. They had to change the type of chemo to fit radiation. Pam had several weeks of this treatment. Then in multiple cancer tests in 2023, the cancer was totally gone!

💥 We learn to seek God's will for us, and then pray.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
I John 5
15 And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM.

Many times, individuals ask me to pray for something for them when I do not know the will of God in that matter where they are concerned. I do not pray what they want in such cases.
Certainly I can pray for God's will to be done.
A young man was trying to get a job. He asked me to pray that he get that job. I told him I could not pray that. That job might be wrong for him and if so it could even harm him.
So often we, humans, want things that would have harmed us but God didn't allow that which we wanted to happen! and we often say, "Thank God for protecting me."
