Eleven Surgeries, One Prayer, And A Whole Lot Of Hope
What if healing begins the moment hope returns to your face? Pastor Linda Budd, from Rivergate Church in Tulsa, opens up about a lifetime of praying for the sick and the many quiet breakthroughs she’s witnessed—some immediate, others unfolding step by step. We walk through a raw, honest testimony of a woman worn down by eleven surgeries and a crumbling marriage, and the moment a simple, specific prayer sparked a visible lift in her spirit. It’s not a sales pitch for quick fixes. It’s a grounded look at how faith and persistence can move both the heart and the body toward recovery.
We explore how practical, scripture-centered habits—reading, applying, and declaring promises from Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24—help listeners reframe identity from being defined by pain to living as people in recovery. Linda shares why she asks boldly for “new knees” or “a new hip,” and how naming the need focuses hope and invites measurable progress. You’ll hear why “grab a hold” is more than a catchphrase; it’s an active way to show up for prayer, stay connected to community, and take steps that align with what you believe about healing. The tone is candid and compassionate, balancing faith-filled expectation with respect for the process and the person.
If you’ve ever wondered whether persistent prayer matters, or how to engage scripture when your body hurts and your heart is tired, this conversation offers both courage and clarity. We aim to help you anchor your healing journey in simple, repeatable practices that build resilience over time. If the story resonates, share it with someone who needs hope today, and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and tell us how you’re grabbing hold of healing this week.
