Prayer Changes Things

Glen Nathan is grateful he is alive to see his youngest daughter graduate. She was the one he had called when he heard the difficult news that he had cancer. His faith gave him strength, but he dreaded telling his children. Glen wasn’t surprised when she took the news pretty badly.

Ready to move forward though he underwent surgery and all the cancer was removed. But, three days later, his doctor noticed a warning sign that again gave him concern. His kidneys were shutting down. In the short time before the nurses wheeled him up to the operating room, he only had time to call one person and ask for special prayer.

“Dad, you’re going to be okay,” his 15 year-old daughter from Idaho said. Taking the unexpected news like a trooper this time she promised to start a prayer chain for him. Glen felt comfort in knowing she, and his church family, was praying on his behalf.

Once in the operating room, the doctor began reassessing the progress of his life threatening problem. Glen noticed a perplexed look on the doctor’s face as he finished his preoperation exam. He was shocked to find his patient had totally recovered…somewhere between the phone call Glen made to his daughter, and the gurney ride to the operating room The Lord healed him.
