Testimony of protection
My grandmother was not a religious person out right. She was a Christian Scientist and her prayers were always personal and silent. But I remember one of the things she did religiously was pray everyday for each and everyone of the family and her friends. The prayer she said every day was the 91st Psalm, first she would say the names of each person she was thinking about and then read the Psalm out of the Kings James Bible.
Our family was normal and had from time to time difficulties, there are too many to mention here, sometimes the problems would just melt away like they were never there.
My brother was in the service, the army stationed in Viet Nam, facing harms way everyday, I am sure the prayers of my Grandmother help to bring him home safely and also helped the cause of peace in a planetary way.
I remember her with love and give thanks for her loving prayers,

Testimony of Lump in breast

Here is my healing experience for your site.
Having fibrocystic breast disease it was not unusual for me to feel "lumps," however this latest development was definately different as there was no pain and it did not go away with my cycle. My "intuition" was to not be too concerned, I waited a few months before feeling maybe I should have it checked.
The doctor felt it was a benign fibroadenoma but sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound. The U/S tech said it was a cyst as there was fluid present. The Dr's nurse called to set me up for an appt. to see a general/breast surgeon, which I felt was unnecessary after what the U/S tech had said. The nurse read the U/S report which indicated the lump to be a cyst, however not a simple cyst, containing a .5 mm. nodule, category-4 out of 5 suspicion for cancer. I would have to wait 2-1/2 weeks for my appt. with the surgeon. Waiting was at times very difficult as the fear would creep in. At
those times I reached out to very supportive friends and family who helped me to get back to center. I mediatated with imagery, prayed and worked a 4th step inventory. One of my 1st meditations was seeing Jesus holding out his hands which had white balls of healing light....he walked over to me and put his hands on my breast. It was so clear and powerful that I tried to bring it up in future meditations, however it was never so easy and clear. A friend had loaned me a book of prayer, "Your Needs Met", I had 2
special prayers that I made sure I read at least once daily which brought me great comfort. I read from "Science of Mind" which showed me the power of prayer. All these techniques were very helpful and got me thru that grueling 2-1/2 wks. At the appt. the tech was ultrasounding looking for the area in question. I could see she was a bit puzzled, stopping to look at my chart a couple times.
The Dr came in she said to him, "you wouldn't believe how they over-exxaggerated this one." I felt relief. She then said, "who read this one, anyway?" as she again looked at my chart. At that point she told me the ".5 mm. nodule" was a "thickening" of the wall of the cyst. They biopsied it which aspirated the fluid and collapsed the cyst.
The lab results came back consistent with a normal benign cyst. I felt tremendous weights lifted from my shoulders! Once I began thinking about the whole scenario, I began wondering if because of all the work I and friends had done with prayer, if instead of being misread, perhaps the nodule had indeed
shrunk.
This is what I believe happened as there is a difference between a definate .5 mm. size and a "thickening." I feel I was healed by the power of God, prayer and keeping a positive mind as much as possible. I am truly blessed.
