WorshipGod09 Conference

During his main session message, David Powlison mentioned finding out that his daughter had suddenly become ill. A number of folks wondered how things turned out. Here’s the rest of the story from an email I received from David:

Dear WorshipGod attenders,

Many conference attenders came up to me asking in concern about my daughter, Hannah, after I used her story during my talk on Psalm 28.  Thank you so much for the care and concern expressed, and the prayers lifted up on her behalf.

But I forgot to complete her story in my public words. I’d intended to also use her story in a second way, to illustrate the gratitude and joy of the end of the psalm. Her story is not only an illustration of the sense of dire need and the bringing of our own particular troubles to God.

Behcet’s Syndrome is quite mysterious, both cause and cure. It turns out that in 30% of the cases there is no recurrence of outbreak over the following two years… and then, as far as the doctors can say, it was a one-off. It was a mysterious occurrence with no recurrence, and so she’s considered healed. There’s been no recurrence now for 5 years, which is greatly to God’s praise, and fills us with gratitude.

So, thank you to the many of you who were praying for her, and I do also ask you to lift up gratitude for God’s goodness to her and to us.

Blessings,

David Powlison
