I Will Praise Him
By: Nicole Goddard
A few years back, my husband experienced debilitating nerve pain. He’s one of those stoic, I’ll just work through my sickness kind of guys, and this pain left him balled up on the bed in tears. It absolutely terrified me. Was it a migraine? Was it the ‘C’ word I couldn’t bring myself to say? An initial cat scan at the ER ruled out anything obviously scary, but we would need to see a neurologist.
I immediately started calling around and faced the reality that I’m sure so many of you reading this have endured – we were told we couldn’t be seen for months. My husband was bedridden and I couldn’t fathom months of this ahead of us. I clung to the Lord, begging him to open doors for us.
After a week of calling the same offices over and over and desperately praying, one office had a cancellation! That appointment confirmed that his condition was caused by a virus and would eventually stop, and he was prescribed medication that helped him function again.
Our Father parted our ‘Red Sea’ that day and very clearly guided our steps through the rest of that chapter. I’ll never forget how he placed the right people and the right physicians in our path until he delivered my husband from this pain. I will forever praise him just as the Israelites after they had crossed the Red Sea:
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him. Exodus 15:2.
