No ‘waiting’ for a healing
Over a span of many productive years, I have experienced more instantaneous healings than I can recall. My own most recent and significant one occurred last fall after I had been raking up some wet leaves for pick up by the waste management truck. Since I have such a large number of 40-year-old trees growing on my lawn, this is a four-week project for filling more than 50 large leaf bags.
It was near the end of the four weeks, and there had been a lot of rain the previous night, and I was using a long handled shovel. At one point, not using the recommended procedure for lifting such weight, as I was lifting the leaves I injured my back. I was suddenly in extreme pain.
Living alone in the house, I was able to hobble inside and discovered that the pain went away only if I was standing upright or lying straight on my back. Lying down turned out to be a comfortable position in which I could pray. I didn’t make a phone call. I have grown so used to praying, and healing myself through those prayers alone, that I felt no need to call for assistance. I was able to pray without moving until I fell asleep that night, and then woke up early the next morning.
