I wanted to post a praise report of God’s protection and healing. Saturday night during the 6th inning of our church softball game. I was running to second base when my left leg was hyperextended I then fell and landed on my back. I felt a lot of pain going through my left knee.

To give you a little history, I’m a huge sports fan and I love to play pickup basketball, softball, football and golf. I have played countless games growing up as a kid and as an adult. God has protected me from any broken bones, pulled muscles or anything serious. Back to Saturday while I was on the ground all I could think of is my friend who tore his ACL a couple years ago. I remember watching it happen and it always makes me cringe just thinking about it.

What was different with me was I did not hear any popping noises or any of the things you hear when that sort of injury occurs. I felt like I could get up. So I got up and began walking it off. I could jog with a limp. I figured everything was fine. I drove myself home and it began to swell up a little. The next day I woke up, I was having a hard time putting pressure on it. I made it to church and everyone was telling me to go to the doctor.

Sunday night I called my parents to let them know of my injury. They prayed for me and like everyone else told me to go to the doctor. Monday morning, I went to the doctor to get examined. The doctor checked my knee and confirmed the hyperextension. She told me that I had no tears of any of the ligaments because I had full movement and no swelling but I did have a knee strain. She mentioned that I not play sports for a week and perscribed some anti-inflammatory medicine. All that to say, praise God for His protection and healing touch. I’m relieved and thankful my injury does not require surgery.

If you are feeling pain today pray for God’s healing. God is able to heal you.
