PRAISE REPORT

[Leah B.]

A while back I put in a long prayer request. Will try to briefly summarize: I have four conditions that are affecting my breathing: COPD, GERD, LPR and a deviated nasal septum. I have literally been sick since December 4, 2025. Also I had a CAT scan at VA that revealed a new 6.4 mm solid nodule in my lung that is irregularly shaped. Unfortunately, I can't get a PET scan to rule out lung cancer until the first week of May. Also my main issue is the lack of promptness of care. I have been waiting over three months to see a surgeon about TIF procedure with hernia repair. That appointment is in two weeks. I have had to wait a long time to see an ENT as well. That appointment will finally take place a few days after the one with the surgeon. My final issue is that because the PET scan is so far out, it could throw a monkey wrench into my surgical plans. Why? Because post-surgical inflammation could give me a false positive on the CAT scan, meaning I would either have to schedule the surgery for after the CAT scan or else postpone the CAT scan to check for the cancer even longer, at a minimum of three months after TIF procedure. Anyway, all this being said, here's why this is a praise report: Today I really feel well. I did my stair climbing, 28 steps ten times. [I get very out of breath and have to stop a minute after each climb, but that's good for a person with COPD to be able to do regardless.] I did an hour on my recumbent bike. All I have is some postnasal drip and a little throat mucus. This is a HUGE improvement! I mean, yesterday I could hardly breathe after I ate. I am deeply grateful to God for this respite. I called up my dad and told him I can't wait to see him on Friday. I'm hopeful I can resume some kind of a normal life, maybe make and keep plans with my friend I haven't seen in a long time. This being said, please pray in Jesus's name this improvement lasts and that I can start sleeping better. Okay. Next up: I did some research. I found out that there is only a 15% chance this nodule is cancerous. I also found out that if they catch it early, they would just take the nodule out of my lung. I wouldn't even need radiation. My chances of total cure are excellent. My point? As I said to my dad, I have way more to fear from worsening COPD than I do from a very early stage cancerous nodule in my lung. I'm doing anything and everything to stay healthy including staying away from cigarettes for nearly 19 years now, exercising, watching my weight and eating a healthy diet. I have to let go and leave this all to God. In Jesus's name, please pray I can do just that, have some kind of peace of soul. Also please understand-- Because of the GERD/LPR, I really do suffer. Any other condition that affects your breathing when you already have an underlying lung disease is going to hit you way harder than a person with no lung disease. I have tried to be brave when my breathing was so bad, I couldn't lay down or walk two feet without getting winded and panting. It's only through the grace of God that I was able to get through these terrifying bouts and also to understand it's not my lungs getting way worse that are causing these asthma-like attacks. Anyway, for these insights and for the fact that I actually feel pretty good right now, I am very grateful to God and to all who prayed for me.

We rejoice with you in this season of improvement and are deeply encouraged by your praise report! It is a testament to God’s faithfulness that you can climb stairs, ride your bike, and experience relief from the overwhelming symptoms that have plagued you for so long. Your gratitude is a sweet aroma before the Lord, and we join you in thanking Him for this respite. The psalmist declares, *"Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases"* (Psalm 103:2-3). Indeed, healing is His nature, and we stand in agreement with you for sustained wellness.

We also recognize the weight of the uncertainties you face—the waiting, the medical delays, and the shadow of the lung nodule. Yet your perspective is anchored in truth: the odds are in your favor, and early detection offers hope. Your discipline in caring for your body—abstaining from cigarettes, exercising, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle—reflects wisdom and honors the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray that this discipline would continue to bear fruit, even as you surrender the outcomes to God. Jesus reminds us, *"Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’... Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:31, 33). Let this truth quiet your heart as you wait.

The delays in care are frustrating, but we trust that God is ordering your steps even in the waiting. Proverbs 16:9 says, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."* We pray that the upcoming appointments with the surgeon and ENT would be divinely timed, that the PET scan would provide clarity without complication, and that the TIF procedure would proceed smoothly. If the Lord wills, may the nodule be benign, and may your breathing continue to improve. We also lift up your sleep, asking the Lord to grant you restorative rest, for *"He grants sleep to those he loves"* (Psalm 127:2).

Your courage in the face of terrifying symptoms has not gone unnoticed. The enemy would love to steal your peace, but we rebuke fear in Jesus’ name. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that your mind and emotions would be guarded by the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). You are not alone in this battle—Jesus bore your infirmities on the cross (Isaiah 53:4-5), and His strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Lastly, we encourage you to continue leaning on community. Your excitement to see your dad and reconnect with your friend is a gift from God. Isolation can magnify suffering, but fellowship brings comfort and joy. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). May these relationships be a source of encouragement and laughter as you navigate this season.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the improvement You’ve granted our brother. We thank You for the strength to climb stairs, the endurance to ride his bike, and the relief from suffocating symptoms. Lord, we ask that this respite would not be temporary but a turning point toward lasting healing. Sustain his breathing, ease his GERD and LPR, and grant him restful sleep. We declare that the power of the Holy Spirit is at work in his body, bringing restoration and wholeness.

Father, we also lift up the lung nodule. We ask that You would guide the hands of the doctors, that the PET scan would reveal no cause for alarm, and that any necessary treatment would be swift and effective. Give him wisdom as he navigates the timing of procedures and scans, and let Your peace rule in his heart. We rebuke fear, anxiety, and every spirit of infirmity in Jesus’ name. Fill him with Your perfect peace, knowing that You hold his future.

Lord, we pray for patience in the waiting. The delays have been long, but we trust that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). May he feel Your presence in tangible ways—through the love of family and friends, through moments of joy, and through the assurance that You are with him. Strengthen his faith to surrender control and trust You fully.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Great Physician, who heals the sick and binds up the brokenhearted. Amen.
