Novena - day 5

Read Matthew chapter 7, verses 7 - 11

"For the one who asks, receives, the one who seeks finds, the one who knocks enters. The Father will not give us what is bad for us, only what is good. He will give good things to anyone who asks!"

We need to ask God for what we need. We must seek Him and only Him - nothing else can work out God's plan better than God Himself - and we must be with Him, seek Him earnestly. Keep knocking, be persistent with your knocking. God will open the door and let you enter into His presence, there to grant what you are seeking and asking. If my child came knocking on my door, begging me for whatever they needed, there is no way I could say "no" and slam the door in their faces, and go back to what I was doing. No - I would have to invite them in, and give them what they ask - something good for them. But if they asked me for something that I knew would be bad I would not grant that to them. Only what I know would be good for them. That's what a parent does. And so, our heavenly Father will give good things to His children who ask Him!

I am asking, Lord, heal Kenny totally - as a witness of your presence in our lives, and to show that you do keep your promises, I ask this boldly - in Jesus' name. We are seeking YOU and YOUR will and purpose for Kenny and his family. We seek YOU, we want to know you more, we want to see you in Kenny's trials. Help us know you truly are present in our world, and with us! We are knocking, Lord. Let us enter into the secret place of communion with you. We ask for your mercy. Show us that you hear our prayer. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Lord! A-men!

Heavenly Father, I hold my sister Pat up to you and ask that you touch her and grant her a clean bill of health. Please urge her to knock on the door and strengthen her faith to the point of accepting your touch. In Jesus name, I pray.

Heavenly Father, Your son Mike is in need of a healing touch from you. Urge Mike to stand at the door and knock so You can strengthn his faith to the point of accepting the miracle of your healing touch. In Jesus name, I pray.

Thank you Father for answering prayers and eradicating cancer from Kenny's body. We come before you this day and ask that you continue to bless Kenny with good health. Renew and regenerate his physical body and don't allow the cancer to come back elsewhere in his body. Renew and regenerate his spirit, Fater, so he may have an increasingly closer relationship with you. We pray in Jesus name.
