Four weeks ago today I had a complete knee replacement of my left knee. For these past four weeks I have struggled through physical therapy, trying to get my “new knee” to bend just as it used to bend. I was not meeting with much success until today. I asked family and friends to pray for my healing, and the Lord answered my prayer. In three (3) days my knee bent from 102 degrees to 106 degrees! I wept when I heard the therapist read the measurement today after my Physical Therapy. Psalm 136 came to mind, especially the words: the steadfast love of God endures forever! What struck me the most was this truth: If God so loves to heal my physical body, imaging how great is His love to heal my soul.
Please do not give up on the Lord, no matter what you are experiencing.
Keep praying and keep trusting the Lord!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
