Healed
I have been struggling with my health for a number of years. For many years I saw doctors and consultants had minor procedures and followed their advice but nothing made me feel well again. I tried alternative health approaches, supplements, searched the Internet endlessly all to no avail. Soon it was taking all my strength to cope with everyday life and gradually I found myself able to do less and less.
Although I go to church I had never really prayed about how I was feeling or asked God to heal me. I seemed to be too busy trying to cope or get through the next problem. Then one day I asked God “will you heal me?” And I felt a clear assurance that He would. I began to tell people that I was going to get better because God had said so. Even my Christian friends thought I was strange but I refused to doubt and kept on looking for it to happen. I stayed positive and expectant no matter what they said and despite the bemused looks on their faces.
Many weeks later I noticed that I had a slight temperature which lasted from one day into the next and then was gone. I thought nothing of it until I slowly began to realise that I was doing more than I used to and not noticing it. I was feeling normal and capable once more. I consciously tested myself and suddenly smiled as I realised I was better. My illness had gone and I was well once more God had kept his word and healed me.
Unless you have suffered from poor health you can not know how marvellous a gift it is to have it restored and this is the gift I thank God for.
