Have you ever walked through a season where you did everything you could ā and nothing seemed to help?
For the last three years, thatās been my story. Itās been a journey through sickness, searching, and surrender. But itās also been a journey back to Jesus.
I want to share how God met me in the middle of my weakness, healed me in His perfect timing, and reminded me that Heās still the Great Physician.
My Story
Over the last three years, Iāve faced some very serious health struggles ā the kind that leave you exhausted and searching for answers.
The doctors did their best, but they were puzzled. Nothing seemed to help.
During that time, I realized something important: I couldnāt do life on my own anymore.
I had tried for so long to handle things myself, thinking I had it all figured out.
But out of sheer desperationā¦ I turned back to Jesus.
As my physical health continued to decline, something unexpected began to happen ā my spiritual health started to grow.
I began spending my mornings in the Word, praying, and journaling what God was showing me.
And that became my favorite part of the day.
Finding a Church Home
When my husband and I came to Marlbrook, we were searching for a church home.
We hadnāt had one in a very long time, and honestly, we were nervous.
But the moment Pastor John started preaching ā straight from the Bible, not opinion, but truth ā we both knew this was where God wanted us.
This past year, Iāve been learning how to care for my health more naturally and, more importantly, how to trust God completely in the process.
Then, on October 25th 20205, I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me ā clearly ā telling me not to take one of my medications.
I hesitated. I argued a little. But the peace in my heart was undeniableā¦ so I obeyed.
The very next day, we came to Communion.
I was so tired I almost didnāt go ā but something told me I needed to be there.
During the service, as Pastor John spoke, I reflected on how my pride had once driven a wedge between me and God.
And I prayed ā āLord, if You think Iām ready, please heal me. But above all, let Your will be done.ā
Immediately after taking Communion, I felt something change.
My exhaustion lifted.
The fog in my mind cleared.
The pain that had been constant for yearsā¦ was gone.
A Week Later
Itās now been a week ā and Iām still free of that pain and fatigue.
I truly believe Jesus healed me.
I give Him all the glory ā for the healing, for the growth, and for bringing me closer to Him through it all.
He has been so faithful.
āBut He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.ā
ā Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)
Walking Forward in Faith
This experience reminded me that healing doesnāt always come the way we expect it ā but it always comes from the same source: Jesus.
He meets us where we are, even when weāre weary, and He restores what only He can.
If youāre walking through your own season of pain or uncertainty, I want to encourage you ā donāt stop seeking Him.
He still heals. He still restores. And He still answers prayer.
This testimony has deepened my faith and inspired me to keep writing about the connection between spiritual healing and physical renewal. Itās also part of what led me to create the 40 Days of Health and Healing Journal ā a devotional journey through Scripture, prayer, and reflection to strengthen your walk with Jesus in difficult seasons.
If this post blessed you, Iād love to hear your story, too.
