THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR ME

I know it been a while since I posted anything. I have been so so so in awe of what God has been doing in my life. My heart is so full. My eyes are swelled with happy tears. I have no words to express how good God has been to me.

I have had many posts about God being silent, my failing health condition and when prayers are unanswered. But this post is going to be about God who actually answers prayers. Yes, I have never experienced God so real in my life. He actually hears every single prayer and He answers in His time and according to His will.

As some of you know that we have been praying for months together for my ill health. I had been to the hospital several times with bad reports but this time, the doctor said I'm perfectly fine! God miraculously answered my prayers. When God does it, He does so perfectly. To Him be all glory!

After I shared it with few of my family members and friends, they told me how much they prayed for my health condition.

Here is the list I made about a few people who told me they prayed for me:

- My dad and mom - Dad's every day constant prayer
- Solo - He kept congratulating me that my health was fine even before I got the health report
- Glory - She told me I will get a breakthrough before she gets married (it actually happened)
- My fil & mil - My fil was constantly praying for me and my mil too went for a retreat and prayed.
- Serah - She told me that she had a dream that my breakthrough will happen on 25th December
- Sushma Akka - She was more confident than I was that my prayers will be answered.
- Persis & Vittal - They called and prayed over the phone for me on the last day of fasting.
- Freeda & Charles - They told me they were praying for me in their family prayer
- Hannah - Was constantly praying for my health condition
- Bency - Was constantly praying for my health condition
- Ravi uncle & aunty - They said there were fervently praying for my health
- Sangee & aunty - They said there were fervently praying for me
- Rosy aunty - She said she was praying for my health
- Sukanya aunty - She said she was praying for my health
- Pinky Akka - She said she was praying for my health
- Dodamma (Mom's sister) - She said she was praying for my health
- Jeeva aunty - She said she was praying for my health
- Abi - He said he was praying for my health
-Many unnamed friends...
- And so many of my friends who said, "Grace, I really wish you get well." or "I have been praying for you"

I am so thankful that so many people prayed for me. Dedicating this wonderful song called "Somebody's Praying For Me"  by Don Moen!

I was lost in a desert land 
So dry and thirsty 
But God was there where He’d always been 
Giving grace and mercy

So hard to sing and hard to pray 
Yet I knew His Word was true 
And then one day my faith returned 
And suddenly I knew

Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door 
Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord 
I knew it had to be 
Somebody down on their knees 
Somebody praying for me

I’ve been spared by so many prayers 
How many times I could not say 
What a difference a prayer can make 
When it’s offered up in faith

God has always made a way 
When I didn’t know what to do 
Just when I needed a miracle 
That’s when your prayers broke through

Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door 
Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord 
Well I knew it had to be 
Somebody down on their knees 
Somebody praying for me

Now I know that friend was you 
You were the gift God gave me 
’Cuz when you prayed His love broke through 
It was your prayer that saved me

Thank you for praying for me 
Thank you for knocking on Heaven’s door 
Thank you for praying for me 
Thank you for lifting me up to the Lord 
Now I can clearly see 
That you were the one on your knees 
So thank you for praying for me

Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s knocking on Heaven’s door 
Somebody’s praying for me 
Somebody’s lifting me up to the Lord 
Well I knew it had to be 
Somebody down on their knees 
Somebody praying for me

MIRACLES HAPPEN

I prayed for you
Yes I cried my lungs out
Nights after nights
Days after days
Weeks after weeks
Months after months
I was desperate for you
Persevered
Hoped when everything failed
Hung on to faith
Sank in tears
You were my only wish
I longed for you
As hungry as I was
Went through suffering
Shame and insult
When suddenly
God stepped in
Unexpected
You arrived
You finally did
When least expected
Should I cry
Should I dance
What should I do
I’m unable to react
What state of mind is this
No one thought me in school
I’m emotionless
Where did pain go
I had it so long
I feel light
It still can’t sink in
You are here
It’s real
Dreams come true
Miracles happen

SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN

What I used to be
Somewhere in between
What I am
Somewhere in between
What I want to be
Somewhere in between

What is past
Somewhere in between
What is present
Somewhere in between
What is the future
Somewhere in between

What is real
Somewhere in between
What is happening
Somewhere in between
What is a dream
Somewhere in between
