Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

Central Truth
When you pray, have faith and believe in what you are praying for. Things may not always turn out how you want, but the will of God will come through.
KEEPING THE FAITH
This verse makes me think of a friend of mine whose daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia 3 years ago. Caroline was 2 years old at the time, and the news came as a complete shock. She went to the doctor because of some bruises she had and left after being diagnosed with cancer. When I heard the news, all I could think of was what would happen if the treatment didn’t work. How could her family go through this? What do you do when you are dealt a situation like this? Her mother, on the other hand, had faith like I have never before seen. She knew that God had a plan in all of this and that His will would be answered. She had complete faith that God would get her family through this. She kept a positive attitude during the 2½ years her daughter received treatments. It was rough at times, but Caroline always pulled through. Thanks to the prayers and the faith that accompanied them, Caroline is doing great! She has surpassed all expectations of the doctors. She is now living the life of a normal 5 year old. I get the pleasure of seeing sweet Caroline everyday, and it reminds me of God’s awesome power. God can do all things, even what we see as impossible.

Would this be Caroline Harris and her mom Gina Beecher Harris? They are wonderful people and deserve all the very best that God has in store for their family.
