David MillerPrayer and Healing

Dave Miller grew up not knowing anything different than praying when you were sick or injured. “That’s what my parents taught me when I was a child. That’s what I knew and understood. I didn’t know about doctors and hospitals.”

Dave saw many injuries tended and fixed at home. “Mother bandaged my injured and sometimes broken bones and they got better in a few days.”

Still, Dave’s thinking changed over the years and pointed him to regular medical help on numerous occasions. But, not always.

Amy's Story


I have sort of an interesting story of my own. Several years ago, probably 2004, I kept having dreams that I was going to be in an accident.  I told this to somebody, as the dreams really scared me.  I did what she told me to do and that was to pray for what I wanted from the "accident". . . if I must be in that "accident".  So I did.  I prayed for my body to not be mangled and to feel no pain.  I had never been in an accident before and therefore didn't really know what else to pray for. ;-)
