After Many Years of Waiting, the Lord Heard Our Prayers

For a long time, my husband and I dreamed of becoming parents.

However, because of serious health problems, I was unable to become pregnant.

When a fragrant icon of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze was brought to Kursk, I learned of it entirely by chance.

Every day, I went to the church, venerated the holy icon, and prayed to the Lord with tears, asking Him through Saint Gabriel’s prayers to grant our family a child.

By God’s mercy, a true miracle occurred that very month: I learned that I was expecting a baby.

For our family, this was an immense joy and the answer to many years of prayer.

Today, with gratitude to the Lord, we await the birth of our son and glorify Him every day for the mercy He has shown us.

“Nothing is impossible for God when a person prays with sincere faith and hope.”

Glory to God for all things!
