After a couple doctor’s visits, I went in for a follow up scan for a lump that I felt in my breast. The doctor told me they’d need to do a biopsy to be sure it wasn’t cancer. I was informed that I wouldn’t get results for what felt like the longest 2 weeks of my life. The level of anxiety I felt during those two weeks was crippling.
I had just given birth to my daughter, 2 months prior and I also had another baby that had just turned 2. All I could do was pray. I was waking up, shaking from fear and all I could think to do was pray. I honestly became somewhat surprised at how my prayers helped calm my anxiety. When I felt fear trying to take complete control, I would hear, “keep praying”.
This was the most scared I have been in my entire life. I was looking at my partner and my children through different eyes, crying at the thought of losing them and missing life. I came across “the miracle prayer” and I had a lot of heart felt, conversations with God.
I don’t come from a religious family at all but somehow, I knew I was blessed enough to have always had God in my life, and I heard Him. I remember thinking how difficult times in life can bring us closer to God and I told myself that, that would need to change. If I managed to get through this trying time, I promised to bring my family to God. I would teach my girls who God is and I would open those doors with my partner. For the first time ever, my partner and I were praying together. We agreed to raise our girls in a way where they would know who God is.
I’m happy to report that my biopsy came back benign. Do not ever underestimate the power of prayer. Similar to myself, my partner didn’t grow up in a religious or Christian home, but we kept our prayers real. God knows who you are, and you can be yourself with Him. Talk to him about everything. I’m so thankful that I’m able to do so today without fear.
