It was summer of 2023. I had been in and out of the ER for what felt like heart attack symptoms for several weeks—heart racing, chest pain, jaw pain, black outs, arrhythmias…I wore a heart monitor even. I thought that maybe I was getting Lupus and it had effected my heart. I was about to go to Rochestor to seek more medical advice on what was going on. I could’t live anymore in this condition; it was agony, day after day, torment to live in a state of this kind of fragility. I was scared and baffled. What was going on?
One week was the absolute worse. I couldn’t sleep. I was being tortured-would I ever have a normal life again? It was a hot July night. I went to sleep alone to not disturb everyone being up all night. I prayed intensely, meditating on Psalm 23 and Psalm 18. Finally in my vulnerability, I gave over my soul to the Abba, ‘Father, I surrender my body over to You.” I prayed over my husband and children. I prayed as though I was going to leave this earth, raying over my family and blessings. Then I ended my prayer by asking the Abba for comfort, “Please send me comfort Father,” I prayed, begging the Abba to at least send me comfort. I felt like all of me was being tortured.
Well, somehow I had fallen asleep, which was very hard to do because my heart would wake me up, but this time I woke because I felt a presence very near to my bed and I woke to see who it was. When I opened my eyes, my light was still on and I saw on the right side of my bed up in the air about 5 feet off the ground was a glowing orb within another glowing orb. It was a white light, very bright, and from this light was emitting peace, a peace so intense. But it’s important to note it was different from the peace of the Holy Wind I had experienced before. It was just peace.
I sat up and reached for it but it moved away. I reached again, it moved again; the 3rd time I reached for it it went through my wall and was gone. It was then I realized the Lord had answered my prayer and sent me comfort as I had asked.
