This challenging sermon examines the difficult tension between our desire for immediate answers to prayer and God's process of correction in the lives of those we love. Using the account of Miriam's leprosy from Numbers 12, the pastor explores how Moses' immediate prayer for healing ("Heal her now, O God") was met with a seven-day delay because God was working correction in Miriam's life. The sermon addresses the painful reality many believers face when praying for children, parents, or siblings who are experiencing consequences of their own choices. It emphasizes that correction is an expression of God's love, necessary for spiritual growth and realignment with His will. The central challenge is learning to pray through correction rather than trying to circumvent it, trusting that God loves our family members more than we possibly can and that His timing in correction is perfect, even when it requires enduring pain and waiting.
