A prayer was answered June 25 2024
I have struggled with hearing loss for most of my adult life. About a month ago I had surgery on my left ear with the hope of restoring some of my hearing which had declined to almost nothing in both ears.
Two weeks after surgery I had the bandages and packing removed. Then the test! With no hearing aids the surgeon banged the tuning fork on his hand beside my left ear. I heard it LOAD and CLEAR! Words cannot explain how I felt. Decades of prayers had been answered with a God-gifted surgeon and the latest technology. Sometimes God makes us wait. I don’t know why, but he knows the right time.
The story doesn’t end there. The next few days I could hear at night with no hearing aids. It seems like a lifetime since I could do that. My wife and I were both trying to comprehend what was happening. At the same time, I started on antibiotic ear drops. In a few days, my newfound hearing was gone again!
Why I asked God, did I do something to ruin your precious gift to me? A few days passed and it wasn’t getting any better. I called the hospital to see if this was normal but didn’t get a straight answer. It probably was and just wait for a while to let it heal. Another week went by and my wife said try sleeping on your left side to see if it makes any difference. The first attempt was painful so I was a bit nervous to do it again. Last night I decided to try again. I prayed, Lord have your Angel touch my ear and bring back my hearing and then went to sleep.
In the morning I touched my left ear and it was wet. Fluid had discharged from my ear and my hearing was coming back! Thank you Lord for sending your Angel to touch my ear ably assisted by my wife’s suggestion.
Sometimes God doesn’t make you wait!
