 Dear
Ve. Z,
Here is how prayer
helped me.
I was scared,
crying and in lots of pain. The doctor in accident and emergency
said I had appendicitis and needed an emergency operation.
My family had
recently accepted Jesus Christ and we were going to a
Seventh-day Adventist church. It was 2 o’clock in the morning.
Dad called our Pastor and asked him to pray for me.
The doctor decided
to put me on a drip and take a blood test to confirm it
was appendicitis. He told me to get ready for the operation.
I didn’t
want an operation and dad didn’t have the money to
pay for it. I prayed to the Lord to heal me. Mom and dad
and my younger sister Emma-Mary prayed with me. Then we
started reading Psalms 23 and 91 and 100 and others. It
helped me become calmer and I knew Jesus was with me. The
pain went away and I stopped crying and feeling scared.
No matter what happened, I could trust Jesus to take care
of me.
For the next
hour while we waited for the test results, we prayed,
read the Bible and sang Bible songs.
The doctor came
back with the results. He was amazed and puzzled. He told
me the blood test was negative but that I had all the right
symptoms for appendicitis.
I didn’t
need an operation! I was so happy and relieved. The doctor
decided to give me an entire saline bag drip before sending
me home at 5.30am.
Praise God for
healing me and the power of prayer. We all gave thanks to
God for such a healing miracle.

into the Adventist Church in Malaysia and I am now 9.)
