Bless the Lord from Everlasting to Everlasting   "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end"(Lam 3:22)

On the night of 17th April 1998, I was unable to sleep due to severe stomach pain. After a scan we discovered that there was a stone totally blocking the ureter leading from my left kidney to the bladder and hence my left kidney was only partially functioning. After a series of X-rays, I was asked to wait for four weeks before a decision could be made on how best the stone could be removed and the possibility of surgery was not ruled out.
 
From the 23rd to the 26th of April there was a retreat at Bangalore conducted by the Potta priests. I attended the same for some time and handed over a petition to the brothers, who also prayed over me.
 
We placed our trust in Jesus and continued praying more fervently. We had a lot of relatives and friends also interceding for me.
 
However, on the 11th May 1998, to our pleasant surprise, unseen hands pushed out the stone which was around 1 cm. In size.
 
Praise the Lord!- The Lord has indeed answered our prayers and strengthened our faith in his mighty power.
 
Thank you Jesus for covering me with your precious blood and being with us in our times of distress.
  "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever" (Ps 125:1)
