I have a progressive hearing loss and am profoundly deaf now. Deafness separates you from people, and I have missed spending good time with my friends. I look at every situation via the "will I be able to hear" lens.
My hearing took a sharp turn south about 6 weeks ago, and the doctor suggested I might be a candidate for a cochlear implant. One small problem...my insurance doesn't cover it--they said so when I asked.
So I told a few of my friends. The gals in my Bible study. A prayer group I belong to. My BFFs from college. My best friend. Most of
them don't know each other...but they have one thing in common: they pray.

My friends prayed for me. They prayed for the insurance company to approve this very expensive procedure. When they said they would pray, I figured it was a lost cause because, let's face it, insurance companies do whatever they want.
Today the doctor called to let us know the procedure was approved. My head is spinning--I'm in shock! I have seen God move--I have seen Him perform miracles for others...but not really for me--nothing of this magnitude. I am in awe.

I shouldn't be surprised. After all, God said in Jer. 32:27 “I am the LORD, the God of all people. Nothing is too difficult for me."
I am praising God today for his mercy and provision, but mostly, for my friends.
