Real Stories of Restoration and Miraculous Healing

★★★★★ Another Answered Prayer ~ Tonia in Texas

Since childhood, I struggled with my skin. Around age 10, I developed a terrible rash—worse than the chicken pox—and was also diagnosed with depression. Doctors told me I was allergic to gluten and placed me on a strict gluten-free diet. I remember praying often, asking God to let me eat normally again. After two years, I was suddenly able to eat gluten with no reaction! We thought I had outgrown the allergy.

Yet, I continued to battle sensitive skin, acne, depression, and later, health complications during my pregnancies. Last year, when my EH and I separated, I developed a rash on my face. I prayed for healing and shared how God answered in a previous praise report titled “God Answers Prayer.”

Eventually, I saw a Celiac specialist. My bloodwork showed I had the Celiac gene, but my intestinal biopsy—where damage from Celiac usually appears—came back negative. Praise the Lord! I know He guided me through that journey, and I will continue to seek Him first before pursuing any further specialists.

★★★★★Above All Sickness ~ Ama

“God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me.” —Genesis 21:6 NKJV

That’s exactly what happened when I noticed my son’s eczema had completely disappeared! When he was one year old, he developed severe eczema on his face, wrists, and elbows. It leaked and made him itch all night. The doctor told me it was incurable—that we could only manage it with medication, but it would always be part of his life.

I refused to believe that. Our perfect and loving Father can heal!

After six months of medicine and prayer, the eczema vanished from his face and hands but appeared on his feet. Since it was hidden and manageable with salt water, I got comfortable and stopped asking for healing. But then, it flared up again—and this time the salt water didn’t work. He was scratching and crying through the night. I was frustrated and cried out to Jesus.

He whispered something that shook me: “I had to get your attention. I want to heal him completely, but you need to ask and believe.”

So, together my son and I began praising Jesus. We declared Him our Victor and trusted Him above eczema. Each day the eczema faded until it was completely gone. Today, there is no trace it was ever there. He made me laugh with joy and filled my heart with peace.

“I want to give Him all the glory, praise, and worship. I want to give Him my heart—and the heart of my son—again and again.”

“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.” —1 Peter 2:24 NIV

★★★★★ Eczema Healed ~ Nicki in the United Kingdom

After reading a praise report about eczema, I shared it with my daughter who was also suffering from it. We prayed together and thanked God for her healing. Just a few days later, her itchy skin cleared completely!

That was a moment for her to witness firsthand the power of our Heavenly Father.

“‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’” —Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV

God is amazing. He hears. He heals. He uses what was meant for harm and turns it for good. I’ve seen it again and again on this journey, and it leaves me in awe.

★★★★★ Migraine Relieved ~ Tiffany in Canada

Today, I was hit with a debilitating migraine—so severe I couldn’t do anything but lie down. I realized I had run out of painkillers, and the ones I did find weren’t working. Helpless, I turned to Him in prayer.

Within the hour, the pain began to ease—enough for me to get up and continue my day.

“I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”
—Psalm 34:4 (KJV)

He is always faithful. Even when the world has nothing to offer, He steps in with mercy, compassion, and healing.

★★★★★ God’s Got This ~ Shantel in New Mexico

As I sit in bed writing this, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for what the Lord has done for my mom. Against all odds, she is a living testimony of His faithfulness!

In April, she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. By June, we learned it had spread to her breastbone and lymph nodes. But her response stunned the doctors: “God’s got this!” she told them boldly, refusing to let anything steal her peace. No matter what she heard, she clung to her faith and never gave up.

I believe God brought her to live with me during that time because I needed her. She is a woman of faith, and her presence helped anchor me in my own walk.

When she went in for surgery—removing her left breast, part of her breastbone, and all the lymph nodes on that side—it was the longest seven hours of my life. But God never left me. His peace surrounded me like a blanket.

Finally, the lead surgeon came out and said with tears in her eyes, “It’s a miracle! We believe we got it all!”

All I could do was praise Him.

Later, when I visited my mom in recovery, she smiled and said, “I told you, God’s got this.”

Yes, He does! He always has.

★★★★★ Would I? ~ Phyllis in Vermont I'm RESTORED

“‘Phyllis, Phyllis, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat.’”
This month, I was sifted like never before.

It began with a severe cold that left me barely able to breathe. My supervisor at work began belittling me, and in the middle of it all, I cried out to my Heavenly Husband, desperate for healing. Yet it felt like heaven was silent.

One night, I nearly drove myself to the ER. The next day, urgent care told me it was a virus and I’d just have to wait it out. No medication. No quick fix. I cried out, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Still, the symptoms remained.

Eventually, He began to heal me—but just as I started feeling better, my 4½-year-old son got sick. His temperature spiked to 103°F. The rollercoaster of trying to break his fever was emotionally exhausting. The pediatrician diagnosed him with the flu, and the medicine they gave him caused terrible side effects. He broke out in hives, became hyperactive, and moody. But within a few days, he improved, and at the follow-up visit, the doctor couldn’t believe how well he was doing. All praise to my HH!

And then came another trial—I noticed a painful knot on my forehead that caused constant headaches. Nothing helped. Again, I cried out to the Lord, and He led me to the solution. The pain disappeared, and the knot eventually went away. He had been with me all along.

As I reflect, I realize He needed me to go through this—not just emotionally, but physically—to test whether I would still praise Him. Would I run to man, or would I run to Him? Would I give Him my firsts, or just my leftovers?

I praise my HH that “my troubles turned out all for the best. They forced me to learn from Your textbook. Truth from Your mouth means more to me than striking it rich in a gold mine.”

★★★★★ Going Through Chemo Radiantly ~ Jodi in Australia

I never thought I’d say this—but today, I praise the Lord for allowing me to walk through chemo, radiation, and surgery.

It’s been a year full of challenges, but even more full of His love. From the beginning, I didn’t see this diagnosis as unfair or cruel. I believed—deep in my heart—that God was using it to teach me something. And oh, how He has.

Today, I am not the same woman I was a year ago. I’ve become someone who knows what it means to be fully dependent on the Lord. I’ve come to love Him with all my heart and have discovered what it means to have the best relationship of my life—one with Him.

Though the treatment was known to be grueling, the Lord made it easy for me. I didn’t suffer the extreme side effects that others around me faced. I didn’t lose weight as expected. I didn’t fall into depression, even though the doctors warned I might. Instead, I became radiant. My friends and family say I didn’t even look like someone walking through cancer. “Radiant” was the word they used—and I know why. It was His presence shining through me.

I held His hand through the valley of the shadow of death, and He led me every step. He wasn’t punishing me—He was pursuing me. And I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything because it gave me Him.

If you're walking through something painful right now, let me tell you—He will carry you. He will turn your pain into praise. Trust Him, fast, pray, and press in. He’s not just nearby—He’s with you, and He is your victory!

“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called…”
—1 Timothy 6:12

“Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”
—Psalm 34:5

“I will bring health and healing… I will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.”
—Jeremiah 33:6

★★★★★ Love Healed Her ~ Sally in Spain

Not long ago, my mom had a stroke—and yet, so much good came from it!

She’s a widow in her late 70s, living alone two hours from me. Just days before her stroke, I felt a strong prompting to go visit her. I now know that nudge came from the Lord. If I hadn’t gone, she would have been completely alone when she collapsed.

When it happened, she lost part of her vision, her facial muscles became numb, and she was so confused she couldn’t even remember our names. But through it all, the peace of the Lord filled the room. There was no panic—only calm, gentle care.

I called my sister, and together we lovingly dressed her, fixed her hair, and drove her 40 minutes to the hospital. On the way, something miraculous happened—her vision returned, and so did her memory. One by one, she named all eight of her children and grandchildren! I sat in the back seat, crying and praising God for His mercy and timing.

Later, doctors confirmed that yes, she had a stroke, and yes, she was fully healed.

I’m convinced the healing came not through panic or emergency intervention—but through LOVE. God’s love that sent me to her just in time. Our love as we cared for her without fear. And the love of our Heavenly Father, who healed her in His perfect way.

“As for God, His way is perfect… He shields all who take refuge in Him.”
—Psalm 18:30

“I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”
—Psalm 91:2

He is trustworthy. He is our shield. He is our healer. And He is always right on time.
