God saved my life by literally healing me. Was told I had metastatic cancer but turned out to be a blockage in my kidney. Kidney removed blockage gone. Kidney function better now than when I had 2! Praise His name.
God brought me out of a toxic work environment & into the company of my dreams. He gave me a new opportunity to grow in my skills & a few new colleagues who are becoming dear friends.
Courtney, thanks for sharing this! It's just like Jesus to use a bad situation and turn it around for good. Love that you're now thriving in your new work environment with people who feel dear to you. How good of the Lord!
I was going to nursing school and my application got rejected despite all As and Bs. I never found out why, but by applying for a new program, it let me live closer to family and get my education almost entirely paid off by the time I graduated. God is So Good!
Wow—what a beautiful example of God redirecting your steps for your good. I’m so grateful He opened the door to a program that blessed you in ways you couldn’t have planned yourself!
We were in Spain on our 40th anniversary trip in September and were hiking up a mountain on a very narrow path. My husband was in front of me and said just grab onto the tree limbs and stay close to the inside. A tree branch that I was grabbing for broke and I begin sliding down a mountain. I could see the fear in my husband's eyes as he grabbed me and literally dragged me up before I continued down the mountain. I saw my life pass before my eyes. I was pretty banged up but nothing serious; luckily this was at the end of our month long trip. A few years ago I had my hip replaced and was nervous that I had damaged the hip replacement. I went to the doctor when we arrived back home and everything was fine. God truly protected me.
This gave me chills. I can only imagine how scary that slip must have been for both of you. I’m praising God for His protection over your life, Rebecca, and so glad your hip and your health were spared. How good of the Lord!
I Remember I walked into 2025 with so much fear but my heart always had a yes and was open to do what the Lord wanted me to step into, through His word and daily renewal of the mind through prayer He spoke a spirit of boldness into me, and by His grace I was able to step into being a doer of the Word and not just a hearer: going on a mission trip, sharing the gospel boldly, evangelizing to a lost world, praying with and for other believers, and shift of character development. This verse lately has reminded me of His goodness 2 Corinthians 4:3 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
Lina, what a powerful testimony of saying “yes” to Jesus even when fear tried to hold you back. I’m celebrating how He’s formed boldness in you this year—truly His strength in our jars of clay.
Your reminder to stay grateful is really timely. Hearing your children remember God’s protection shows how testimony can strengthen faith. I’ve seen His hand in daily provision, even in small ways. Psalm 23:1 (NIV) says, “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” May we all notice His care in the little things each day.
Yes, testimony really does strengthen faith, doesn’t it? I love how you’re noticing God’s daily provision in the little things. Psalm 23:1 is such a beautiful reminder that He truly is our Shepherd and we lack nothing.
My daughter had a miscarriage of our first grandchild in September of 2024. In April
Of 2025, while I was in a mission trip in Guatemala, she had another miscarriage. I was so sad being so far away and asked the ladies with me to pray, but she still lost the baby. A pastor’s wife there prayed in Spanish and she got pregnant a few months later! She is now entering her third trimester and the baby will be born this February! Praise God!
My heart aches for the sorrow of those miscarriages, especially while you were so far away. And yet I’m celebrating the incredible joy of this new little life growing strong—what a kind mercy from God after so many tears. Praising Him with you as February draws near.
I prayed like king Salmon for God to search my heart and and He lead me to a very dark place where I understood that I’m not just a victim, I’m a sinner guilty of hurting others as well. As much as this doesn’t sound nice and cheery , this was a very important moment to let go of my bitterness towards my mom . The freedom in healing is the most amazing thing that happened this year and comes from God !
This is such a brave and powerful testimony, Agata. Inviting God to search your heart, even into painful places, is never easy, but look at the freedom He’s brought as you released bitterness and received His healing. Praising God with you for the deep work He’s done this year.
My 16 year old daughter had 3 severe anaphylactic reactions that sent her to the hospital in a 3-week window this fall. God has been faithful to provide amazing teachers at school that helped her navigate these life threatening crisis until my husband and I could get to the hospital and great doctors who used their knowledge to stabilize her and an allergist who advocated with insurance to get a life saving (and very expensive drug) approved. My work has also allowed me to avoid travel until she is better and given me the time and space to help her. Our church family has prayed for us and loved us well too.
Oh Susan, what a terrifying stretch that must have been. I’m so grateful for the teachers, doctors, and church family who surrounded your daughter with care—such a clear picture of God’s faithfulness in crisis.
It was God and only God who carried me through the last year when three family members died within five months. They were all at various stages of life and in different circumstances, so the grieving process was unique for each. But God (favorite words!) delivered me through to a place of peace and deeper intimacy with Him.
What a heartbreaking year that must have been... losing three loved ones in such a short time is so heavy. And yet your testimony of how God met you in each unique grief and carried you to a place of peace is so moving. I’m grateful for His nearness to you.
What a beautiful testimony of God’s nearness in your grief. I’m praising Him with you for the healing He’s brought and the promise that He never leaves us. Hallelujah indeed.
I had a job I really liked, but new management started to make changes I wasn’t really comfortable with. I have a new job now at a new Christian school that I absolutely love!
This year is not easy year for me and my family, my lovely granny passed away on april 2025 and my family lose their business. This week is first advent week, we have a Hope in jesus. Jesus bring is a Hope to me and my family as well.
I’m so sorry this has been such a heavy year for you and your family, Yenny. Losing your grandmother and your family’s business is such deep grief. I’m grateful you’re holding onto the Hope we have in Jesus this Advent. Psalm 31:24 is a beautiful reminder that He strengthens our hearts as we wait on Him.
God helped me survive, I got thru losing my wife and my mother within 6 months of each other. 2 of the most important people in my life, gone, and I'm left 'holding the reins' with everyone expecting me to keep going full speed when I'm barely on fumes. The sole reason I've done as well as I have is simple, 1,000,000% God and His Hands holding me, protecting me, and most importantly, guiding me in my decisions...
What an incredibly heavy season this has been for you. I’m thankful you’ve sensed God’s hands steadying and guiding you when you’ve been running on fumes, Kyle. He truly is near to the brokenhearted. Praying He continues to carry you with tenderness in the months ahead.
Thank you Asheritah...you know, I had thought that the biggest challenge in my life was in my recovery from a bad car wreck, left for dead but managed to survive...my then girlfriend Jennifer was the sole fatality. That was 1992, 33 yrs ago...but now I realize, that whole 'experience' was merely a warm up for what I'm dealing with now. I'm needing our Lord more now than I ever have, and am so so thankful that He is, and will be, there for me. Blessings to you, yours, and all the people you help with this forum...
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in November. I see God's hand all over our life together & am full of gratitude. When asked, & it happens frequently, "how did you do it?" I proudly respond, " we got off to a good start...we met in church". Quite often that answer opens the door for a spiritual conversation.
Fifty years—what a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness! I love that your story naturally opens doors for spiritual conversations. What a gift your marriage continues to be, Karen!

God lead me to heal after my brother died. He never left me. What a beautiful promise he has. Hallelujah!
What a beautiful testimony of God’s nearness in your grief. I’m praising Him with you for the healing He’s brought and the promise that He never leaves us. Hallelujah indeed.
I had a job I really liked, but new management started to make changes I wasn’t really comfortable with. I have a new job now at a new Christian school that I absolutely love!
I love this testimony of God’s gentle redirection. Even when change feels uncomfortable, He led you to a school you truly love. What a gift!

When God used a cardiac test to detect the first of several cancer masses that would have been too small to detect with normal mammogram testing.
