Today we’re bringing you a story from Sister Adel Connor-Smith that features a heaven-sent messenger.

A few years ago, I began to develop a severe pain in my right foot between my ankle and heel. It got increasingly worse over time until it became unbearable. I was taking pain medication and scheduled an appointment to see a doctor. But my first thought was to go to God in prayer, which I did, asking my brothers and sisters to remember me in their prayers also. I was anointed twice, but the pain kept getting worse. 

My prayers got more and more persistent, but nothing changed. 

Then, one day I was about to walk out of a neighborhood grocery store and the pain became so unbearable that I could hardly walk. A young man, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, came up to me and asked if I was in pain. I said yes, and he asked if he could pray for me. Normally, I would be very suspicious and probably say no, but something inside of me said to let him do it. So, I said yes. 

He asked me where I was experiencing the pain and what was wrong. I told him. He asked me to remove the brace, and then he bent down and began praying. While he was praying, I felt a burning sensation in that area. Then, he got up and said thank you, then I said thank you, and he walked toward the store. I looked away for a minute, and he was gone. 

Afterwards, I began to put the brace back on and realized the pain was gone, and I suddenly knew that man was sent by God as an answer to prayer. 

After that day, I never experienced pain like that again. (Even though I did find out I had something wrong, the severe pain never returned.) God is truly good!
