“The Doctor Said I Should Not Have Lived”
“Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.”

My story is different. On Nov. 2, 2006 I lost my family to a very bad car wreck. Another driver cut across a four lane highway and hit us directly on. My Wife and her Mother were killed instantly. My daughter and I spent three weeks in ICU. I was on Life support not expected to live,and my daughter stomach had been cut in half by the seat belt. She went through major surgeries. I broke every rib in my body and had my right lung collapsed and many other injuries too. I was not expected to live.
Well Praying to me is very important. I now raise my daughter by myself. I would have been married for 12 years this year,and it has not been long since the accident. Praying to God while I was in the hospital is what kept me going and ther is so much more to this story but I am trying to keep it short. I could not talk because of all the tubes going down my throat,but I did not watch TV in the Hospital I just kept praying Lord let me live to take care of my daughter. Well the doctor said I should have never lived but he did not know my God.
Our Lord Jesus can do anything. Well take care and GOD BLESS YOU ALL

My dearly beloved Sean in Christ:
You live in my own ears and eyes ‘The greatest Father here on earth!’
Surely, your solicitude to the Lord’s answer of your prayers: “I just kept praying Lord let me live to take care of my daughter,” must have moved Heaven and earth.
You powerfully inspire and encourage others to pray, when their aims are right, and their cause just. Our Lord and Saviour repeatedly reminds us to “watch and pray” (Mark 14:38). He hears even our unuttered groaning of the soul. For,
“The ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.” (Isaiah 51:11);
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3).
You said it: “Our Lord Jesus can do anything.”
Hallelujah, Amen!
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless you and your Most Precious and Beautiful Princess, infinitely and inestimably;
GODSPEED with your healing and calling, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
