James 5:13-16
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them
pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you
sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them
with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make
the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they
will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful
and effective.
Psalm 9:10
And those who know your name
put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
My story is that God has
blessed me by, saving my life from a hydrocephalus in 2001 and no complications
today since it was removed. For anyone who may not know hydrocephalus is a condition
where water builds up on the brain, this causes intracranial pressure inside
the skull and progressive enlargement of the head, convulsion, tunnel vision,
and mental disability. Hydrocephalus can also cause death. It is more common in
infants, although it can and obviously does occur in older adults as well.
In order to correct this problem
cerebral shunts are placed in the cerebral ventricles to bypass the blockage and
allow the flow of the cerebral fluids, or depending on the location of the blockage
it can be removed to restore the flow. I realized during all this that by surrendering to him all my fears, and concerns He will answer prayers in His timing not mine, and this is how I keep my faith, for without faith, what's left? Despair and hopelessness, and I don't want that in my life.
Thank you for letting me
share my story.
