Answered Prayer #25809

I was very new to my faith in Jesus and was struggling with a relapse of a 20-year-long eating disorder that was wrecking my relationship, making my practical life incredibly difficult and destroying my hope. In my desperation I called out to Jesus to help me heal – not even to take the disorder away but just help me get enough control to be able to function in everyday life and repair my relationship. He heard my prayers and did better than that. Within mere days, I felt a peace around food and my body image that I hadn’t felt since childhood. My Lord and Saviour did in days what years of various therapies had never done. I recovered incredibly quickly. That was just months ago now, and the change in me was so significant that my then-partner quickly also came to faith in Jesus, as he could see the amazing work God had done in my life. We have since both been baptised and married – so he is now my husband and we are living a Christ-centred life. I would still love Jesus just as much if I had needed to wait on this prayer, and my faith in Him isn’t purely based on this testimony, but I do feel incredibly blessed and grateful to be free of an affliction that I thought I would always live with. God is so good and I am His, for all his mercy and grace.
