Last year I felt a conviction that we as Christians (myself included) often put God in a box. That we pray prayers that we can control ourselves. But the Bible tells us God does the impossible. So I started praying what impossible Prayer I should pray and I felt called to go off my seizure medicine.
To put this into context for you: I was diagnosed with absence seizures as a young child. I used to have 70+ seizures a day (you read that right). Now most people outgrow these types of seizures but mine was a result of the umbilical cord around my neck at birth causing brain damage so my doctors told me I would unfortunately not outgrow them.
So going off my medication was a big deal but that’s what I felt called to do. So last September, under the supervision of my doctor, I started weaning off my medicine. I was completely off my seizure medicine in February of 2024. I had an EEG done a few weeks later where they intentionally try to provoke a seizure and I am happy to report the EEG was clear and I am seizure free!
Moral of the story, pray bold prayers. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever and He is the God of the impossible.
