When you totally gave up..
Totally against the odds...
Not expected at all...
Didn't realise then, but totally appreciate it now...
When it just can't be real....
Not necessarily religion related (of course it can be too)

Please share your story, in this cold dark evening and the war is looming. So we know there is always hope...

@weegiemum

I developed sepsis from a skin infection in my leg.

I have no memory of a whole week, but my kidney function dropped to 5%, I was totally away with the fairies and they were preparing me for itu where I'd have dialysis. None of the antibiotics were working,

That evening my dh emailed the members of our very small church and they prayed for me while dh was at home, wondering how to tell our 3 young children how ill I was.

Next morning I was up, bright and chirpy and ready to eat breakfast. I had had a very vivid dream which I think was a near death experience, and the fancy antibiotic had kicked in. It was against all the odds and as dh is a doctor he knew just how poor my chances were.

So I'm my miracle.

Forgive me if I'm crossing a line...Would you be willing to share your near death experience? I understand if you don't. Smile I'm fascinated by NDE's and read up on them lots.

We had a similar experience with my DM, we were called to her bedside to say our goodbyes as she wasn't expected to live with 2 very serious infections & a list of health problems that made that really dangerous. My cousin is a "witch". Her coven "prayed" & projected remote healing for my DM too. My cousin text me her ward in detail, despite only knowing the hospital she was in. I joined them with the healing. My DM who had been comatose for weeks sat up. She asked me "how do you do that" why is cousins name here, who are those other beautiful women with golden wings" she fell asleep again. Next day she was up & talking & the infections had gone & her sats were all normal again, even her diabetes levelled out. The doctors said it was miraculous as they didn't see how she could survive, but she did. Sadly she died a week later of hospital acquired pneumonia, but in that week I got to understand that she was ready to go & wasn't so happy that she was pulled back. She said she had been with her mum, sister & dad & wanted to go with them as she wasn't I'll anymore when she was with them. Never easy, but definitely much easier knowing it was what she wanted really

@ABCeasyasdohrayme

I'm just surprised. Why not ask Satan to help in your hour of need, then? Why ask God in all his forms?

Do you think Satanists are all devil worshipers? 🤣 How embarrassing for you.

Why don't you do a little research, keep your offensive "I'm just surprised" and conversion tactics to yourself.

How disgustingly low do you have to be to use the near death of my child to tell me I should convert. I explained already why I did what I did.

I didn't mention devil worship. How weird your reaction is. I'm not leveraging your child's illness - it was the example you gave. Why such fury?

I have faith that this situation in Ukraine will be another miracle, if we genuinely pray for Ukraine and don't just post pictures on social media with the hashtag #prayforUkraine but don't actually do it.

I sincerely hope that you will be shown to be right on this. I find these sorts of prayers are very hard. It's very difficult to be thankful for something like that because this is the will of God, but that it will come out well in the end.

I’m broadly Christian, but would pray to anything and everything in that poster’s situation. As she prayed to every deity going, which specific religion “won”? Which religion should she ‘obviously’ convert to?

I had 9 rounds of IVF 7 resulted in pregnancy and I lost them all.
We got to the point where we decided to carry on with our life and 6 months after last loss I became pregnant with a little boy who will be 4 at the end of the month.
That’s my miracle.

We tried for a baby for 8 years, did ivf 6 years ago which ended in miscarriage. Started practicing the law of attraction (call it airy fairy if you will). I was a very logical thinker but I thought I'd absolutely nothing to lose, friends had suggested it to me for years. Two months later I found out I was pregnant.

Just a few weeks ago I was looking for paper to write a thank you note for my baby daughters gift. Saw my little LOA book and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. It'd written a letter to the universe thanking it for my baby girl Maeve, that was in Jan '21. But I didn't even conceive her til one month later. Now I believe we don't know everything about everything, everytime I feel negative I just look at my beautiful daughter or I read my little LOA book because I wrote my future before it happened Wink

My DH had a sudden cardiac arrest at a festival some years ago. Usually 8 out of 10 people don't survive and those that do often have a life changing outcome due to brain damage after oxygen deprivation.

He was with a group of medical colleagues, next door to the St John's Ambulance tent with the defibrillator. They literally started cardiac massage as he slid off the chair. He made a full recovery with no cognitive impairment at all.
He was living on his own at the time and had the cardiac arrest happened at any other point, he probably wouldn't be here at all and even if he survived, his life could have looked very different.

I try not to think about it too much because the randomness of it is quite scary but I do feel someone was looking after me that day. He thinks that's a romantic view because he's completely atheist.

I'm praying for a miracle baby x

One December night around midnight I had a hankering to go for a walk. DH came too. I persuaded him it would be fun to climb over the gate and walk through the park, which is not like me - I'm usually boringly law-abiding.

There were very faint occasional splashes on the inaccessible far side of the shallow lake. I was determined to know what it was. DH wasn't too interested, saying it was probably a swan. I behaved like a toddler, insisting I wanted to SEE the swan and refusing to leave. We stared across the lake into the darkness for some time. It was hard to make out, but didn't seem the right shape for a swan. Finally DH declared that maybe it could be a person, and waded in to find out.

It was an elderly woman, face down in the water, nearly unconscious and making a last few feeble movements as she prepared to drown. We pulled her out, tipped the water out of her, and she came round.

Honestly the covid vaccine.

Scientists plugging away for years on different viruses who could never have known what their decades of research would mean.

My dm got overheated in her garden and fainted. My ddad called an ambulance and she was taken to a&e. There she was seen by a very thorough doctor who listened to her chest (heavy smoker and had copd) and decided to do a scan. Found a lump which turned out to be cancer it diagnosed extremely early and with treatment she had several more good years with us including attending my wedding. Her doctor said the fainting was completely unrelated.

When I was 17 a friend and I went to turkey (over 20 years ago) got drunk and ended up at a house party miles away from holiday resort. It soon became clear it was expected we would be having sex (yes we should have known) we climbed out of a window and ran away. It was a village no traffic/taxis. We saw a bus stop as we reached it a bus going into the centre pulled up. It was about 11pm and mobiles were not a thing back then.

I love this story. I believe in a few centuries time we'll know more about instinct and will understand how you picked up on that signal for help.
