Power of Prayer :)



This quote really matches me lately. On Friday I sprained my right ankle, I was extremely sad because there is so much I'm involved in. I realized I wouldn't be able to drive, ballroom dance, or practice my play much for awhile. These were things I didn't want to give up, but I was in so much pain it hurt to stand, it hurt to even move my foot just a bit. So I got down on my knees(the best I could) and I prayed. It took me awhile to get to sleep that night, but my prayer was answered and I got some good sleep. I woke up and it was well enough for me to walk barely. I wanted to go in and get my foot checked but my parents weren't sure that was the best idea at first, they said to just soak it in Redmond clay and Epsom salts. I felt they were right and I should, so I did. The next day, I felt I needed to wear my brace and just continue trying to walk on it. That day was Fast Sunday. So I bore my testimony on the power of prayer and my prayer was answered. I was given a blessing and was promised to be healed. Today, I can walk almost normal on it. Though the pain is still there, it's gotten a lot better. Because I had faith, my prayer was answered. And because my prayer was answered, my faith was strengthened(it's SO cool how that works!) I know that Gordon B. Hinckley was right when he said "If life gets too hard to stand, kneel." In this case I actually couldn't stand, and I kneeled. And because of that, I am walking with almost no pain, and my faith in the power of prayer is greatly built up. I know that if we pray in faith, we will be blessed. Our answer will come, and we will heal from whatever pain we are experiencing. If life gets too hard to stand, kneel! :)
