One morning my 9-year-old daughter, Sara, suddenly began having a violent seizure. At the time, we were on vacation and driving on a road in the middle of nowhere.
We rushed to the nearest emergency room, and within an hour, the doctors confirmed that Sara had experienced a grand mal seizure. We were shocked because she had never had one before.
During the next eight months Sara had five more seizures. Fear and frustration gripped me. All I could do was hold her as tears streamed down my face.
In time, Sara’s medication levels were stabilized, and she had fewer occurrences. I was hopeful the condition was passing. But one night, after nearly a year without any episodes, I went to her room and found her unable to move.
Then I read an article about a woman who had been healed of migraine headaches after suffering for 17 years. She had chosen 34 Bible verses related to healing and the power in Jesus’ name and prayed them constantly, claiming and believing she would be healed.
I copied the verses and took them with us on a long car trip. While my husband drove, I prayed those verses over Sara. A great peace came, and the fear in my heart eased away. I could feel the assurance of God’s love.
That was more than two years ago. Sara has not had another seizure. She is doing well and is being weaned off all medication. Praise God for His healing power and for visible proof He is working on our behalf today.
