How God’s Healing Power Rescued Me When My Body Was Failing

I went to bed broken, and I woke up reminded that God’s healing power is not too short to save. After years of exhaustion and a body that was failing, the Lord met me in the quiet—while I slept. This is a testimony of mercy, restoration, and one more day given by the Father. 🙏

Today’s short testimony is brought to you by our Heavenly Father.

I was having a hard time coming up with a testimony that would be encouraging and obedient. After praying about it, I felt encouraged to share a victory with you. After all, we are supposed to share in each other’s victories—and this one is only possible because of God’s healing power.

For almost two years, I got such little sleep that my body was starting to shut down. The sleep apnea I developed came after a bout with Covid. I just could not sleep, and at first I felt like I could power through it until it got better. Fast forward two years, and it was now killing me. The frustration was so bad that I felt the release of death sounded okay. In that darkness, I couldn’t see it yet, but God’s healing power had not left me.

I finally went to the doctor after my sleep apnea developed tachycardia, and I ended up in the hospital. Seeing my wife crying and knowing I couldn’t comfort her changed something inside me. I needed to get healthy. The Lord, in His mercy and healing power, offered me another chance.

Multiple cardiologist and general doctor visits later, I was on the path to getting a sleep machine. Each step forward was slow, but it was guided by God’s healing power, restoring what I could not fix on my own.

Fast forward to this past weekend.

I slept over eight hours each night!!

I can’t remember a night I slept over eight hours—ever!

Victory!!

My Father snatched me out of the claws of the grave and is slowly restoring my body through His healing power. The Lord’s arm is not too short to save!

I praise God and thank Him for finding something worth saving in this lowly mechanic. God’s healing power reached me when my strength was gone.

Thank You, Father, for one more day.

Amen.
