Mark 5
A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.
30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' "
32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Alex, when I was 19 years old my daughter who was only 6 months old came down with a bad case of Ecoli. I was in the room when she had a grand mal seizure and they hit the code blue button. I stood there and watched as she stopped breathing and her heart stopped. I had to leave the room and went into shock.
My mother took me to the hospital chapel and told me a story. It was the story in the scripture above. Years earlier my brother was born with a rare heart condition and he was only one of two others who survived it. My mother remembered the story above and sat in the hospital chapel and tugged on Christ's robe. I was very young and had little faith and all I could do was sit there and turn my fear into faith by tugging on Christ's robe. It was the first time I turned my fear into a little bit of faith. It was my first lesson on faith of any kind. My husband ran into the chapel and told me my daughter was going to be ok.
Fast forward years later when my granddaughter was born with pneumonia. After a few days the nurse walked into the room and told us there was no hope for my granddaughter's survival and she was going to die. I was devastated and walked outside and sat in a little heated room they had outside the hospital. I was crying so hard I couldn't come up with any words to pray. I prayed and told God I didn't have any words and didn't know what to pray. Suddenly I thought the words "tug on my robe". I was instantly filled with joy and ran upstairs to tell my son my granddaughter was going to live. Right after that the nurse came into the room and said she didn't know what happened, but my granddaughter made a turn for the better. She lived and is now 11 years old.
My father had an abdominal anurism the size of a grapefruit and the doctor said there was a big chance he would die on the operating table. I can remember driving to the hospital and hour away pleading with God to spare his life. That's all I could do at the time. He went into surgery before I got there. He survived the surgery.
I learned small lessons in faith during these times. I was afraid too.
There was another time when I was 22 years old. My husband and I were having a lot of problems. I remember praying for my husband. I told God I didn't care what happened to me, but I wanted him to help my husband. 2 weeks later my husband took his own life. I remember feeling so betrayed by God. I was even afraid to pray after that. My life was torn apart after that for about 10 years. The lessons in faith during those 10 years were hard lessons. The testing and trials were behond what I could endure, but God brought me through it.
It is only now at 55 years old that I am able to pray that God's will be done no matter what.
James 1
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
There are some here who will pray that God's will be done. This is the prayer they pray with the measure of faith God has given them. When I am afraid and have a hard time praying for God's will to be done I will ask others to pray that prayer for me.
1 John 5:
14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
Hebrews 10
23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hi Alex....
My prayers are with you and Chanelle! Having faced a similar traumatic situation once with one of my children, I understand that you are willing to throw every ounce of life within you to plead with God to spare her life!
I hope that you don't mind, Alex, I'd like to speak to you as if you were my own son....and I hope that it is okay with you to do this in the public here, because, perhaps someone else may need to hear these very words. I may not know very much intellectually, but the comfort wherewith I was comforted, I hope to pass on to you now.....
God knows you better than you know yourself. He understood in advance that you would feel the way that you do right now. He knew that you would search with all your might for a way to keep Chanelle with you....and He not only knows the outcome of all of this, He is already there, in the future, no matter what happens. NOTHING can separate you or Chanelle from the love of God. I believe that Complete healing is all that you can think about right now....and that is where I will stand with you in prayer...for a miraculous recovery!! For we know that with God, all things are possible. It does not hurt us or anyone else to hope for a miracle. In fact, it is my firm belief that God designed us to be this way....to HOPE, TO PRAY, TO LOVE. People who have endured tremendous heartache, tragedy, torture, pain, suffering, ......they are the ones that learn this lesson: that we are capable of far more than we think. But this is because of Him. Hold tight, dear Alex....hold tight inside of yourself to God. I will hope with you. I will believe with you. I will pray with you....as He gives me the strength and ability to do so.And do not worry, dear Alex, if you should momentarily grow weary....because it is then that you will find....He has hold of you!
Keep us updated as you are able. I will pray every day for your dear Chanelle to be healed, and I will await good news!
Sincerely,
Joyce
Psalm 31:24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

2Co 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Co 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
2Co 1:4 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2Co 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ.
2Co 1:6 But whether we be afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we be comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
2Co 1:7 and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.
Psa 23:1 <A Psalm of David.> The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
