A Blood Clot

I had been having trouble with my ankle. Actually, only in the early morning hours did I feel the dull pain.

One night though, I was awakened by such intense pain. It began in my ankle and radiated up my entire leg. It became unbearable. I had no idea why, what was causing it. I was reduced to tears! It was then that the Lord spoke to me. "You have a blood clot, pray!" What? "You have a bloodclot, pray!" Oh my. Should I call an ambulance? My neighbors a nurse! At almost 3 am who should I call? The pain! It kept intensifying, I didn't know what to do! "You have a blood clot, pray! Pray now!" The pain was traveling up my leg - I didn't know anything about a bloodclot. I was beside myself and it kept getting worse. "Pray, pray now!" And pray I did. I found myself praying as I have never prayed. Sweat was pouring out, as the tears flowed down my cheeks. As the pain continued to increase so did my prayers. "Dear Lord... " Everything I was able to put into my prayers I did. As it seemed my prayers were reaching the rafters, I felt a change, it seemed like my leg began to dissolve and with it the pain. It wasn't fast, but it seemed purposeful (I don't know how to explain that!). Then I began to feel relief and praised the Lord for His healing power.

At first I questioned the validity of all of this, yet the questions didn't linger long. I know that our Lord had spoken and I know that He had healed me!

Believe in Him! Trust in Him! For He is all power and glory!
