THC W6: There will be an answer

I really wanted to post a private entry from my journal from last October about what God has been doing in my life through prayer, and this is definitely an incident that sticks out in my mind. I hope it blesses you.

"I was listening to the service on Thursday night on the computer because we have not taken Ksena into childcare yet because of her potty training. Arpi was teaching. It was so thoughtful, yet simple. It was an amazing message about John 9 and the “blind man,” as everyone called him since they did not know his name. I just listened to “When the Rain Comes” by Third Day, which is particularly appropriate today because it is raining outside. After the service they had worship and prayer and said they were going to pray for healing for people and anoint them with oil. Since I was not there, I prostrated myself on the floor, a practice I find more and more necessary, and began to pray. As I was praying, I was in pain, crying out to the Lord, crying. One of my tears ran from my eye to my forehead and I thought that God must be anointing me Himself with my tears. All the time my pain growing greater, I kept my position, even though many types of spiritual warfare were directed at me. Not only was I in pain, but I realized that the door to our room was unlocked, and there were people outside talking and I did not recognize their voices. I heard a voice telling me that it was someone coming to hurt my family, but I knew it was not the voice of the Lord, and I refused to leave the position I was in. After about 20 minutes of this intense battle within myself, begging for my faith not to be small, I finally prayed, “God, heal me NOW if it is Your will.” And at that time I felt a touch on my gallbladder that sent a tingling feeling throughout my body. The pain was gone. Since then I have had no more pain in my gallbladder, but have been experiencing pain in my liver, stomach, and kidneys. I decided to stop eating sugar products to see if that helped, and it did. I feel that my body is functioning as if I had no gallbladder. Travis said that maybe God simply shut my gallbladder off. I believe it. Now I must be careful about what I eat so my body does not store extra fats that my gallbladder is not processing. I think that will help with the pain in my other organs. Although I still have pain, it is much more manageable. Praise the Lord of Hosts, that hears and answers our prayers. Amen."
