Thanks! praying for you, Paul @heidi Thank you Heidi, Terry, Kent and everyone! I slept well and feel better than yesterday. Your prayers and care are much appreciated. Our God is good! Hi Paul, I hope you are feeling better. Hello siblings, I want to say thank you all for your contributions to the forum, for praying for each other. For the moderators, thank you for keeping Ritan a safe place for us to fellowship and be with our brothers and sisters. It has been a place of refugee and support for a very long time. thank you everybody. @heidi Thanks for asking Heidi, I'm feeling better indeed. As a parting gift this mystery virus also gave me a dose of laryngitis, which I've never had before. After a week, I'm just starting to get my voice back now. Crazy! My sincere thanks for all your prayers. @paulr I was wondering. Glad to hear you’re on the upswing. I’ll keep praying for an all clear. Good that you are getting your voice back! Must be hard not being able to communicate properly. Hello family, can you please say a prayer for me? my job is overwhelming. I don't have the strength to look for other work and my health has been deteriorating. I also feel anxious and have problems especially at night. thank you @heidi Hang on, girlfriend. It sounds like we're rounding the far turn and heading into the home stretch. Meanwhile, Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives. Please guide our path through life and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family, at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on. Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return. @heidi Lord, surround Heidi by your Angels to protect her. Cause work and distractions to fade from her view. Bring her friends along side her for support. Shine your Peace on her as a welcome surprise. Remind her that your Holy Spirit is right there in her heart whenever she needs help, in every moment. In Jesus name I pray. I prayed a silent prayer for you Heidi. TESTIMONY Some of you will remember a while back I asked for agreement in prayer to be healed of a particularly vicious flu-type virus. It also came with laryngitis. I completely recovered from the flu, but my voice was still missing. Yesterday, after more than a month, friends and family convinced me to go and see a specialist. The doctor threaded a fibre-optic camera through my nose to inspect my vocal chords. When he was done he sat me down and looked me in the eye and said my left vocal chord is completely and permanently paralyzed and I will never speak properly again. PLUS, he said there is a "very good chance" that the nerve damage was caused by cancer somewhere in my upper body. He recommended a (very expensive) CT scan. It would be stupid to say I was speechless, because I already was that. But it felt like somebody had kicked me in the gut. I came home and told the Lord I believe Him more than I believe the doctor, but honestly, I was devastated. After a while I kind-of regained my composure and told the Lord I just hand the entire situation over to Him. This morning I discovered my voice is back! Almost by accident I said a few words and realized that I can talk louder than a whisper for the first time. The words and the sounds are perfect! I would say the volume is about 50% right now, but I'm confident it will be fully recovered soon. In fact, I haven't tried to talk very loudly yet -- I think I'll just give it some time. I'm not going to do that scan. This is to thank you all for standing with me, and most of all to thank our loving Father in heaven for His faithfulness and His love. I praise You with all my heart Lord! ALL the credit and the honor and the glory belongs to You, my Lord. @paulr Paul, that is so amazing. I am so happy that you are OK. You reminded me of a situation I was in years ago. there was nothing I can do about it and there was only one bad outcome ahead for me. I was very scared, however, when I got home I told Jesus: I will hand this over to you. I know you will take care of it. the bad outcome that was going to happen, didn't happen. the situation was resolved. I needed that today, because I am in such a bad place and I can't take it anymore. I am going to say the same thing to Jesus. that he is going to take over. please pray in agreement with me. Jesus is Lord Paul and Heidi, I will put you both in my prayers tonight. I’ll keep you both on my list. Please keep giving us updates. I am hoping we go home soon. By all indications, it just seems that it’s time Please pray for my health issues. They are mostly just age related. Still difficult. Love to all. Hope to see you soon.
