A child’s prayers heal hearing problem

Inge Bock Phillips

When I was in sixth grade, my school gave me an intelligence test. Afterward, they told me I had the intelligence of a fourth-grader. But because I passed every subject, the school still let me go on to the seventh grade.

After I began seventh grade, my teacher got mad at me. She said I had flunked my spelling test because I wasn’t paying attention. But I had been paying attention; I just couldn’t hear clearly the test words that the teacher read out loud to the class. I missed half of them and felt so frustrated. I didn’t want to tell anyone because I loved my school so much and was afraid I’d have to leave if they knew I couldn’t hear what was going on. So I didn’t tell my mother or my Sunday School teacher. I decided I wanted to pray about this on my own.
