Disciple of Prayer
Quite a while ago, I posted a prayer to save my father. This is my second post, so you can go find the first one. I tried linking to it, but it wouldn't let me submit the post.
Anyway...
My father's eGFR, a measure of kidney function, was at 1. Values below 15 indicate kidney failure.
This reading seemed to be a combination of UTI and diabetes. The outlook was not good.
But my prayer was answered. A few days later his eGFR was over 60, which normally translates as about 30 years remaining kidney function.
It hasn't been plain sailing. The infection has taken a lot of time to clear because he was being re-infected regularly by residual bacteria in bladder stones. This created a catch 22, where they wouldn't remove the stones while he showed even minor signs of infection, but equally was being reinfected by what little bacteria wasn't cleared through treatments that was surviving inside the bladder stones.
Well it's been a while and we managed to get a period where nothing was detected, and a bladder stone removal operation that had been postponed 6 times actually went ahead and was successful.
So my father is on the mend and much better.
This is God answering prayer, even if he also works through doctors too
So thank You, Lord God!!
I hope this message brings hope and comfort to those who read it. Although God is not just for emergencies, so I pray that whatever event God interacts with in your life, grows a Holy and fruitful relationship of Love and Peace.
