An inspiring true story of faith, hope, and God's love.

As I held my infant son in my arms, I began to ponder some deep questions regarding LDS priesthood blessings. If his life ever became threatened by illness or accident and I needed to administer a priesthood blessing, how could I possibly know what to say? How could I know whether my feelings were from inspiration or from my own desires? If my duty was to tune into the frequency of the â€œStill, Small Voiceâ€ prompting me, then how could I possibly tune out the fatherly instincts screaming inside my head?

I also began to wonder about other blessings that were not meant for the healing of the sick and afflictedâ€”blessings of comfort and guidance. If I were facing a tough decision, what did it matter if I had someone give me a blessing? If my faith and obedience was the key to receiving Godâ€™s blessings, wouldnâ€™t it be just as beneficial to only fast and pray?

In searching for answers to these (and other) questions, I spent a lot of time with my nose in the scriptures, listening to LDS General Conference talks, reading blogs, and devouring good books. It seemed like the majority of what I read on the subject of priesthood blessings was dedicated to miraclesâ€”the kind where people were able to â€œarise and walkâ€ after being near death, etc. Many of them said something like, â€œThe power of priesthood blessings is real. Let me tell you about a miracle I witnessed as a result of a priesthood blessing.â€

I wholeheartedly believe in God showing his divine power by healing people in miraculous ways, but those stories are considered miraculous and special for a reasonâ€”theyâ€™re not how things typically go. It would be easy to have faith in priesthood blessings if everyone were healed instantly every time a blessing was pronounced, but faith is not always that easy.

Often times, and definitely so in my case, we learn best by experience. Answers to my questions did not become clear to me until I found myself in one of those dire and scary situationsâ€”the kind that terrified me and tried my soul to the highest level.

This book is a true story. It purposefully does not contain any â€œarise and walkâ€ type of miracles, but as you follow the inspiring journey of how I found answers to my own questions, your faith and testimony surrounding priesthood blessings and Godâ€™s love will grow.
