During the prayer time for healing - I joined in to pray for the lady in the blue and white sweater. As she described her need for healing (pain in her right hip), I knew exactly how to pray for her because I have had the very same for almost the past year. The pain has been constant in varying degrees, affecting walking, going up and downstairs, even during sleep. I came to accept it as just a normal process of aging. BUT, after we prayed for Janet, I thought I should have the boldness to ask for them to pray for me too!

It couldn't be a coincidence that we had the same thing. SO - they also prayed for healing the pain in my hip.... afterward, I "tested" it out by making various movements (up, down, twisting, weight on the right side, etc). The young daughter of the physical therapist in our prayer group asked me if I felt anything. I said, the amazing thing is I don't feel anything!! Which was so wonderful NOT to feel any pain.

In the days that followed, I kept wondering if it would come back. It is 9 days later and every day I PRAISE GOD for healing me 100%. It hasn't come back! I am now able to walk up and down the stairs, walk, sleep - without any pain whatsoever.

I try to look for Janet as we come and go to church, I do hope and pray she received her healing too!! God is so good. I always know that when we extend our faith to pray for others, it is an encouragement to increase our faith and to be a part of what God wants to do for them, for us.
