Like many other kids with similar chronic diagnosis, my son has been suffering from dystonia for years.
Neuro doctor prescribed x2 types of anti-seizure drugs and clonidine for this condition. However, dystonia has already been seriously disturbing his sleep and rest. During the day, it happens anytime when he is angry or sleepy and there was nothing that we could do to make him feel better.
Until more than a year ago (2023), I got very mad at this dystonia thing as both my son and I were disturbed in the middle of the night, daily around 4am for 2 weeks in a row…
One morning I got so pissed off by this demonic attack! I had set my heart to put an end to all these in Jesus’ name because I want to sleep and so does my son! When I woke up that morning, I remember it says in the Bible that seizures are demon power that gets inside of our children. So, I started to seek God once again.
I remember in the year 2022, I used to pray and take communion 5-6 times daily. So, I tried my best to pick this habit up again and decided to pray at least 3-4 times per day… early morning when we wake up, lunch time and diner time, when my helper go downstairs and pack meal for me as well as before bedtime at night. I worship God almost daily because I cannot feel God is with me if I don’t do all these.
For the first few months, I couldn’t feel anything. I meant even I pray and worship God daily for many days already, I still couldn’t see anything changed at all and my son was still suffering from a lot of dystonia. However, I never doubt about God’s goodness and faithfulness. So, every time I prayed, I say to myself don’t doubt Mary, God heard my prayers, and Lord Jesus is working on it! After about more than 2 months’ time, I have noticed that the frequency of dystonia is decreasing… The key is that we must pray day and night without ceasing. For how many days the dystonia will die? I don’t know. Because every time I’d been praying for 2 months already, and I stopped … whenever I stopped, dystonia getting worse again. Until now I don’t remember how many days I’ve been praying for the dystonia to die already, BUT it is dying!
God said whosoever keep asking and you will receive. So, let’s keep praying without ceasing nor doubting until God answers!
