One Visit, One Prayer, One Act of Love — And I Felt Whole Again

It's almost one week since I got sick. I have been in and out of the hospital, but since three days ago, I have been indoors recovering, taking my medications, sleeping, and resting as much as I can. Today, I feel much better; I feel relieved, as if a burden was lifted up from me.

In the morning, I looked up to God and whispered softly, "I missed my active days," hehehe. I guess God heard me and took action because as of morning, I was extremely weak, walking sluggishly. I never knew I could pick up my phone to type this text here by this time of the day, but here I am.

You know, sometimes we just need to really tell God what we need. Even the Bible said ask and it shall be given unto you. I missed our women's prayers today. Every Thursday, women gather and I pray for their families. I missed it today, and I felt sad about it. I tried to drag myself out to attend, but my flesh was so weak while the spirit was willing.

That was when I told God that I missed my active days. I missed my usual me, lol . I told him that I was supposed to be in the women's prayer meeting worshiping Him and leading in praises, but here I am lying down so weak. I said a short prayer to the Holy Spirit and asked him to strengthen me and restore my health, then I slept off.

A call came in after a few minutes; it was one of our women of faith prayer members. She has been concerned that I haven't been strong for a while now. She came around, helped me to prepare fresh veggies, and I ate.

She also bought me enough food stuff to restock my house. Assisted me in many things and made sure I ate very well. She has been with me since morning. I felt loved, I felt valued, and I was just emotionally lifted. Somehow, I feel that the whole sickness just disappeared. I can't explain how, but I feel so better now, so strong, and above all, I feel happy.

Her visit was another lesson learned today. Be there for others whenever you can; maybe your little smiles, your words of encouragement, your helping hand, or even your prayers can restore a dying soul, just maybe.
