Prayers do get answered

A couple of years ago, I received a phone call from my uncle, telling me Grandma was very sick. He told me that she only had a hour to 24 hours to live. Craig and I were recently engaged and where trying to plan for our wedding, this wasn’t a good time for Grandma to be so ill. It scared us, I just knew I needed to get home immediately. I felt she didn’t have long.

Grandma had hip surgery and was staying in a care facility they did not monitor her blood thinners or her blood sugars correctly and she had pressure sores which where bleeding. When they finally got her to the Hospital her body was shooting down, her kidneys had already stopped working, so her body was slowly poisoning her body. She was unresponsive when she when my uncle had called me. My aunt had flew out to and Craig and I had rushed at the first thing in the morning. At the time Craig was living 1 1/2 hours away from me. It was horrible. I begin to pray that Grandma would pull through till we got there so we could say our good byes, and prayed that G-d would Touch her.

I am close to my Grandma, and I have to say it will never be a good time for her to go. I am selfish I want to keep her with me forever. We speed the Whole way from Minnesota to Illinois and I think we we only made 2 stops, we where there in time for lunch. I didn’t feel much like eating.

My aunt and I first went in to see grandma, after talking to the doctor. He said she was unresponsive. It hurt to hear that, even though I knew it already. He told us what was happening to her. They had her on dialyzes which wasn’t working very well. Grandma was growing more fragile and the outlook wasn’t good. Grandma realized we where there but barely could talk. It was hard. After a while my aunt decided to have my soon to be hubby come in the room with me.

Grandma got a little more energy. We had talked for a little while. I wanted to ask her if we could pray for her for the longest time but was scared she say no as she has done many times before. I finally asked her if Craig and I could pray for her. I was shocked when she just about jumped out of her bed, and grabbed my hand and Craig’s elbow rather tightly and said Yes. I was shocked because I didn’t think Grandma had that much physical strength in her any longer. Don’t get me wrong she’s a strong little lady but she was so weak. I had never seen her this week.

Craig and I prayed for Grandma. We asked the L-rd to heal her, to stop her bleeding and to cause her blood to be okay. I don’t even remember what all we prayed. We believed G-d would do something for Grandma. My Grandma before we started praying was bleeding from every whole in her body, she was a messy. Within 10 minutes of the prayer we noticed the bleeding had started to slow. within 45 minutes the doctor said that her bleeding was stopping.

We didn’t tell the doctor anything. A few hours later we found out one of Grandma kidney’s started functioning. Wow, she starting to get better, within a few days she was pretty much out of the wood. I know G-d heard and answered this prayer because with out HIM there is no way my grandma would still be a live.

We were talking to my grandma some about how sick she really was, and I told her a lot of it had to do with the prayers we said. My grandma received the prayer from us, she didn’t give her usual line only a priest or Mary, or one of the Saints can pray for me. She allowed us to pray, and let me tell you Mary and the Saints well aren’t as good as people who believe who are with you. I do not pray to anyone other then G-d or Yeshua, which is how it should be. We are to communicate with HIM Yeshua is our Mediator so we do not need anyone else to go to G-d for us. We are to pray one for another.

I have always been someone who enjoys praying for others, or just simply praying. Sometimes it hard to pray because I know G-d knows everything any how and why pray, Well I think we pray for ourselves so we can have a closer relationship with G-d. Prayer is just talking and communicating, which we do with our friends daily.
