The Great Physician

I've been dealing with some stumbling blocks that the enemy has put in my way lately. I've been having many dizzy spells, blackouts, and moments of chest pain. At first, I was terrified. Terrified of dying and leaving my family that I love so very much. Terrified of the pain I would feel. Terrified of not being 100% ready to leave this world. Terrified that the doctors would not find what is wrong with me and that they may miss it and I would suffer. I was reminded by a dear friend that there is no doctor on this planet that knows my body like my God, my Great Physician. In all my weariness, I forgot that. The enemy did a good job of keeping that masked so that I would freak out and not focus on Him. I thought I was focused, but I wasn't. Praying is only a portion of that focus you should have on Him. Believing with your entire body, mind, and spirit that He can and will heal you, and that He is in complete control, is a great deal of that focus.
Something wonderful happened to me on Thursday night. While I was praying with a friend, I felt that peace of God pass over me, I felt a connection with my God that I have never felt before. I felt it again in church this morning, so much that I became overwhelmed with emotion and sobbed. Many people may call this hokey-pokey emotional mumbo-jumbo....but I know that what I felt was real. It reassured me that He is real and He is there. He will never leave me, and He does have great plans for me. He is going to heal me, regardless of whether or not a doctor can tell me what is wrong. I have peace in knowing my Creator is in control. Whether it is a heart condition, whether it is something in my brain, or whether it is a simple as stress and anxiety, I will be released from this attack of the enemy. I have no doubt. THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR HEALING POWER!
