Infection Healed by Prayer

July 10,2017 I had a bad bladder infection.  It was too late in the day and week to see the doctor; and I really did not have the money for an office call.  I knew God can heal, so I prayed.

I prayed for God to take notice of my predicament of health and money. I reminded God of the various times He has healed me in the past.  I claimed Bible promises. I asked forgiveness for my sins, naming all I could remember.  And then I asked God for healing.  Immediately I thanked God for the healing

And I was healed, from that moment on!

Praise God! He is sooo good!

Health and Healing

God heals. Sometimes instantly, sometimes gradually.  Then sometimes God, who sees the future as we do not, does not heal at all.  He simply answers, No.  But always remember, God is too wise to make a mistake and too good to be unkind.
