Prayer and Miracle

Some of you may remember how perhaps a year ago I asked for prayer for a young girl, Anastasia. She lives in Louisville and is the granddaughter of the woman who was teaching me Ukrainian. She had a difficult medical problem, and was not getting any relief. The family had exhausted the medical options-- she was just going to have to live with it.

Ira, my teacher, told me tonight about how Anastasia was healed. The young girl has always been very devout (the family is Ukrainian Orthodox) and had prayed for some time about her condition, but was feeling very discouraged. She had a dream back in the winter; an angel came to her and told her she would receive a gift on her birthday. "What kind of gift?" she asked. "Wait," the angel said.

Her birthday came and her problem was gone. I was very glad to receive the report, and gratified by the power of prayer. It was not just that Anastasia and those closest to her prayed, but so many of you joined with her.
