Carla's Story

Episode 003: The Miracle of Healing

In May of 2022, Carla came down with Covid. She got over it in the typical 2 weeks time span. But some of the symptoms persisted. Fatigue and brain fog were continually hanging over her. She eventually found out this was called “long haul” covid.
She was always very tired. She could make it through work and basic daily activities but had hardly any energy left over or mental strength to do paperwork or anything else that required a lot of focus.

For several weeks now, the family would get together most nights, spending their time in prayer and worship.
On New Year’s Eve, the family specifically spent that evening seeking the Lord for healing. Not just for Carla, but other family members as well.

After going to bed, Carla was awakened at about 1:30am by a gentle tingling sensation that covered her body. It lasted about a minute or so then ended.
She asked the Lord, “Is this a healing?” and she heard Him say, “Yes.” She had a sense that this was a healing of the long haul covid, as opposed to other physical ailments she had been praying for as well.

The next morning, as she was getting ready, Carla continued to process with God.

A few days prior to this, Carla had started taking herbal supplements that were supposed to help with the symptoms. This would usually take about 2 weeks to start working. As she was taking her morning vitamins she began taking these herbs. But the Lord interrupted her saying, “You don’t need that anymore.”

So Carla stopped taking them right then and there. She thought, “I am just going to believe and trust what He said.”

Over the next few days and weeks, Carla had some things added to her plate that demanded more of her, but she wasn’t feeling as tired as she was expecting to. Carla began to suspect that she could handle more because of this uptick in energy. To verify this, she asked her family. They all agreed that she was able to take on a lot more than the previous months had allowed.

The true test came when Carla needed to tackle some paperwork she had been putting off due to the persistent mental fatigue. As she finished the form, she thought, “I made it through… my brain fog is gone!”

Since then, Carla and her family have been praising God and rejoicing in the fact that He healed her. There are still some miracles of healing they’re seeking for within their family, but they are choosing to learn of God’s sovereignty as they await His perfect timing.
