Too Afraid to Pray for Healing

I'm working at a restaurant as a waitress serving guests. Eventually mom and her boy walk in wanting a feast. She explains it because her son has a rare disease of the leg muscles causes it to violetly spasm painfully. As we wait for the food, I feel like I should ask if I can pray for healing for her son... But I'm afraid nothing will happen and she will mock me and God. I eventually start a conversation and ask if she's Christian. She explains she has faith in God and Jesus but isn't a Christian and doesn't go to church, making it clear she has some church hurt. I think (not say, because I'm over processing everything trying to say the perfect thing) about what to say to explain that if you believe and follow Jesus, he tells us to go to church... I realize I'm going off topic and that's not what's important in this moment. But then I wake up and it's too late. I never prayed for her son, I wasted too much time because I was afraid God wouldn't do it. As I woke up, I realized, it was just a dream, so I wish I had prayed to see what would happen, because in the end it's not like I'd be embarrassed since they weren't real... And as I note this now, I'm realizing if I go about life not trusting God leading me to do things, I'm going to miss out on some amazing experiences working with him. And in the end, this life will be done, and what will matter is how I was obedience to God, not what people thought of me. Dang.
