What Do You Do When the Doctor Says There Is No Hope

The specialist seated across from me raised his eyebrows, “Ovarian cancer is serious,” he said with no emotion, “you have two choices, hysterectomy or death.” 

That’s it? Those two horrible choices? Years of pain and a desperate search for the best doctor had brought me to this renowned specialist. And this was his solution? 

How could he be so insensitive? Anger started to build in me. But his words did not intimidate me. 

Swallowing hard, I said, “I do not accept those choices.” 

His frown framed the fire in his eyes. Had I challenged him? Rising from his chair, he leaned over his desk. He pointed his finger inches from my face.  

“Then, lady, go home. Suffer. And die.” His spit splattered my cheek when he spoke. 

Are You Frustrated and Discouraged When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayer?

Do you know how to pray for miracles?  Maybe you shook your fist at God, or perhaps tears wet your pillow night after night. 

But still, no answers to your prayers.  

Many engage in this exhausting effort, wondering if God will ever answer, whether He's listening or even cares.

Is there a secret on the effective way to pray? No secret, but rather, a sure path to present petitions, to declare what is true and proclaim God's Word that already states the outcome.

I will present my real-life stories to illustrate the powerful way in which God showcases His miracles. You'll learn the difference between passive praying and powerful praying.

You will learn HOW to pray and the KEYS to getting answers. No formulas. 

I was a Christian my whole life; a minister's kid. You would think I would know how to pray. But, like many others, I depended on my Dad's prayers to get me through tough situations. Then, my dad died, and I was kicked out of the 'nest.'

Many of us like to read prayers from books or delve into articles or books written on prayer. There are hundreds. Sometimes, the 'deeper' the book is, the more we believe it will be the answer we are looking for - but God's Word is easy to understand and uncomplicated. 

In each week's post, I share a miracle story of how we can realize the blessings and the miracles that are promised in the Bible. We can stop wondering, struggling, and hoping. 

I was in my twenties when the cancer specialist told me I would die without a complete hysterectomy - I'm still here and never had the surgery. 

Prepare to get excited when you learn how to rejuvenate your prayer life and see miracles happen in your life.
