Last year I was diagnosed with kidney stones. The pain was nearly unbearable. I prayed they’d dissolve, but they didn’t. I prayed I wouldn’t have to have surgery, but I did. I was hoping the surgeon could remove the stones during surgery. Again, I felt defeated when I found out that the surgeon couldn’t risk removing the stone & placed a stent instead. I had the stent for 2 weeks. Even with the stent, the stones were stubbornly staying put. I cried & begged God to make the stones pass, but nothing. My husband called COTM and asked for a pastor to pray over the phone for me, which he graciously did. I listened to Pastor’s podcasts on healing during this whole ordeal - what a blessing his words were to me. However, one day I had a “melt-down”. Later that night after I calmed down, I decided to praise God in the midst of the storm. When I calmed my rowdy self down and quit questioning God, the stones passed within 5 minutes! He walked with me through the valley every step of the way!
