Livin' on a prayer. I can hardly believe it has been two weeks since Einstein's removal. Potentially, two more weeks before I can go back to work.
My life has been more reliant on prayer this year because of Einstein. Searching for answers, for peace, for comfort, for guidance, on behalf of my medical team, for family and friends, for my body.
President Russell M Nelson taught in the October 2005 General Conference, “I recognize that, on occasion, some of our most fervent prayers may seem to go unanswered. We wonder, ‘Why?’ I know that feeling! I know the fears and tears of such moments. But I also know that our prayers are never ignored. Our faith is never unappreciated. I know that an all-wise Heavenly Father’s perspective is much broader than is ours. While we know of our mortal problems and pain, He knows of our immortal progress and potential. If we pray to know His will and submit ourselves to it with patience and courage, heavenly healing can take place in His own way and time.”
My mass did not miraculously disappear overnight. My medical team had studied and trained for a time such as this. They removed Einstein. That in and of itself is miraculous. Cutting into the body to remove what's wrong. And now my body is healing.
God hears and answers prayers. Sometimes it is not in the timeframe or manner that we would hope or expect or think we want. He knows what timeline and answers would help us grow and develop best.
