Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith!* Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour. – Mt 15:27
Lord Jesus, i am grateful
that it was your will
that my daughter be healed
my faith was just as strong
when i prayed to no avail
to the gods of my ancestors
many are the mothers
who have greater faith than mine
yet their children remain uncured
and cry out in the night
i am grateful for the outcome
yet i was already strangely at peace
with the will of the Heavenly Father
