The Incredible Power of Prayer

I have always believed in the power of prayer. I know and I have seen what God can do when you believe, but I have to tell you that after yesterday if you weren't a believer you would have to be now. On Sunday Angelica had a possible broken neck, a bleed in her brain that they thought was going to cause brain damage and broken ankles. On Monday after the incredible amount of people prayed on Sunday and into Monday she has 2 crushed ankles. That. Is. It. The bleed in gone, they can't find it anywhere in her brain, her neck is fine and she was asking for McDonald's sweet tea. How awesome is that!!! She has a long road ahead of her, they have done 2 surgeries on her so far and she may be in for more on her ankles. We now know more about what happened. She was drunk for one thing, she had been at a party with her friends and was on her way home. The car behind, that literally saved her life, saw the whole accident. He said her car hit the guard rail, went air born, the door came open and she flew out. They think she landed on her feet because of the damage done to her ankles. She is going to have to have skin grafts on her one leg, the skin was literally peeled off to the tendons. When the angel in the car behind her stopped, he called 911, went to her and she wasn't breathing. He performed CPR and got her breathing again. He has been to the hospital to check on her, so her parents have gotten the chance to meet him and thank him. He is a recovering alcoholic, he's been sober for 6 years. Thank God he was behind her. While he was on the side of the road, performing CPR,(he'd had to pull her out of the road) cars were just flying by. No one else stopped. He truly is an angel on earth. Please keep praying, the family needs it right now.

Wow, that's wonderful news! She still has a long recovery with the ankles, but what a relief about the neck and brain.

Wow. It is humbling to think of all that will be touched because of this one mans kindness. Can you imagine the blessings that he feels as he thinks about what happened? Donna said it best."Thank God and His angels".

We will continue to keep all involved in our prayers. Sounds like you guys are witness to a real miracle. Prayer really is powerful.

Praise God! What an incredible story. I would just bet that God put that man exactly where he was at just the right time. What a redeeming (well small "r" anyway)and life changing moment for him as well as for Angelica. God's goodness is and wisdom are such that words just don't do justice.

thanks for that incredibly touching story of miraculous recovery...

now. wtf? did every one of you forget the drunk driving part of this account? an UNDER AGE drunk driver? why does that fact seem to just fade into the background. why is it so readily just swept under the rug? it's tragic, sure, but she got exactly what she deserved. hopefully, god having saved her life, she won't put everyone else in danger by pulling this kind of garbage again!
