HOW GOD HELPED US!

When I was seven, I had a tummy ache and a cramp in my back. It kept happening over a few days. One day at school during recess, I was playing with my friends on the playground. We were playing knights and dragons. I was the knight, and my friend was the dragon.

All of a sudden I felt the pain again. Then I remembered something I had read in the Bible. It was about putting on the armour of God (Ephesians 6:11). And I thought that the pain was like the dragon. And I was the knight wearing the armour of Love. It protects me from anything bad.

The pain went away all of a sudden and never came back. I felt happy because this was the first time I prayed for myself and had a healing.
