Praise God For Mending My Heart

Today, I thought that I would do something a little bit different than what I usually do, and just praise and thank God for a great blessing and miracle that He has performed in my life recently.

God mended my heart, literally. I know that I have told this story in my blog before, but this time, I have an ending. A couple of months ago, I went to the doctor with a minor illness, and the doctor found that I had a heart murmur. It completely freaked me out because I knew that heart murmurs could be minor, but yet again, they could be the sign of something much more dangerous. So the next day, I kept thinking about it and thinking about it, and it set some serious anxiety up in my mind, landing me in the hospital. I felt like I was having a heart attack, when in reality, it was my mind playing tricks on me. Still yet, the doctors wanted me to see a cardiologist since a heart murmur had been found, so they scheduled an echo cardiogram for a month later.

Throughout the time until my test, I was experiencing a lot more anxiety, and it set up some depression in my life. I was worrying constantly, and it was physically making me feel sick. Just the thought of something being wrong with my health, made me feel completely hopeless, and negativity took over my mind.

So a month later, which was last week, I finally had an echo cardiogram done. I went into the test scared out of my mind. There was really nothing to the test, but the thoughts of what it could show about my health just send my mind into a frenzy. For the doctor to read the test results of my echo cardiogram, I went back to the doctor today. I sit anxiously awaiting the doctor to come into the room with the results, and my mind kept telling me to be prepared for the worst, because in that moment, that was what I was expecting.

The doctor finally came in, and was asking me all of these questions, which made me think that there was something wrong. Finally, he looked at me, and said, "We found nothing wrong at all." I was relieved beyond belief. The doctor didn't even find a heart murmur anymore. God had healed me.

I cannot thank God enough for the work that He has done, and I am so thankful for the people that I have praying for me in my life. I am so blessed to have such a Godly family, Godly group of friends, and a Godly church family. This is proof that God works, and prayer is not in vain. God mended my heart, spiritually, 5 years ago, and physically, today. I couldn't think of anyone else I would rather praise and worship than my almighty God.
