Healing is the Children's Bread

Calvin Ang thanks God for healing his back pain.

Several months ago, I began experiencing persistent pain in my back, specifically around my right scapula. The pain radiated to my neck, shoulders, and forearm. Its intensity fluctuated and moved, often leaving me in discomfort and uncertainty.

Despite recommendations from kind friends to seek treatment such as physiotherapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), or chiropractic care, I chose to press into prayer for healing, standing firmly on God’s promises.

During this time, I often declared, “Jesus paid a high price for my healing. Healing is the children’s bread,” and I committed to regular communion as an act of faith. However, the pain lingered for many weeks, testing my faith and perseverance.

In late November while I was traveling to Dubai, the pain intensified and severely affected my sleep. I would wake up every hour, overwhelmed by discomfort. Upon returning, I visited a general practitioner, seeking relief and advice before my family trip to Japan. The doctor suggested I might have a pinched nerve and recommended an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. He also prescribed painkillers to help me manage the pain during my trip.

During my trip to Japan, the intensity of my pain fluctuated, though it was not as debilitating as before. Throughout this period, I continued to pray, declaring God’s promises and believing Him for healing, even as I wrestled with moments of doubt about pursuing medical intervention.

Then, on the morning of December 29th when I was back in Singapore, I woke up completely pain-free! The sharp, reverberating pain that had troubled me for two months was gone. All that remained was a slight tightness in my muscles, which eased with simple stretching.

I am confident and grateful that Jesus has healed me! This healing reminds me of the power of faith, perseverance, and God’s promises. As I reflect on this journey, I see how God sustained me even in the waiting, and that fills me with praise and gratitude.

Praise the Lord! Jesus is faithful, and His healing power is real. To Him be all the glory!
