my daughter has trichotillomania. I have realized that I haven't turned this problem over to the Lord. I have realized that she is His child and He can cure. This would be no different than praying for her if she was sick with the flu. This is an illness too and God can heal her and if He chooses not to heal her He has a reason. This illness is where she pulls her eyelashes out. My husband thinks the cure is to make her wear her glasses all the time. She went to the eye dr and her vision has improved and she doesn't need to wear the glasses. I don't want her to where them if she doesn't need to. Thank you in advance. God Bless You.

I have prayed for your daughter. Here is a prayer that can help you keep up your faith in god healing your daughter.
Lord,
Because you have instructed us in your word that we are to pray for one another so that we may be healed, I pray for healing and wholeness for (name of child). I pray that sickness and infirmity will have no place or power in her life. I pray for protection against any disease coming into her body. Your word says, "He sent his word and healed them,and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20). Wherever there is disease, illness, or infirmity in her body, I pray that you, Lord, would touch her with your healing power and restore her to total health. Deliver her from any destruction or injury that could come upon her. Specifically I ask you to heal (name any specific problem). If we are to see a doctor, I pray that you, Lord, would show us who that should be. Give that doctor wisdom and full knowledge of the best way to proceed. Thank you, Lord, that you suffered and died for us that we might be healed. I lay claim to that heritage of healing which you have promised in your word and provided for those who believe. I look to you for a life of health, healing, and wholeness for my child.
Say this prayer as many times as you want daily and I believe God will heal your daughter.
Bless you

It's fine to use prayer as an attempt to heal, but you should also be seeking other interventions. You say that god will decide whether she should be cured. But where did you come up with that idea? Is there mention of it anywhere in the Bible? I do know that scientists have interviewed devout Christians and asked them if they had a choice between taking antibiotics or praying to God to get over the infection 98% say they would take the antibiotics. Also, if it is God's will, then how could praying be of any help? If God has sufficient reasons, why would he care what mere humans want? As Shakespeare said, "The answer lies not in the stars, Horatio, but in ourselves."
