Deliverance from Severe Pain

The Story of Gocha Tsurtsumia · Tbilisi, Georgia

While passing a kidney stone, I experienced extremely severe pain.

Because of intense spasms, I lost control of my arms and legs.

Although I had never personally known Saint Gabriel Urgebadze, I firmly believed that the Lord could grant help through the saint’s prayers.

I asked for a little oil blessed at his resting place.

After praying, I took it with faith.

Soon, my condition changed dramatically.

The stone passed without agonising pain, and I was able to stand on my feet without assistance.

For me, this became a great consolation and testimony to God’s mercy.

“In every trial, a person is strengthened by hope in the Lord.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Gocha Tsurtsumia. Tbilisi.
