TESTIMONY

The Lord Granted Relief After Long Suffering

The Story of Makvala Davitashvili · Tbilisi, Georgia

For a long time, I suffered from a severe skin condition: psoriasis.

Ulcers covered almost my entire body and caused constant pain. I could not even lie on my back.

One day, a neighbour brought me a small amount of oil blessed at the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze.

With faith, I began turning to the Lord, asking for help through the saint’s prayers, and reverently anointed the affected areas.

After several days, my condition began to improve.

After the fourth anointing, my skin had cleared completely.

For me, this became a great joy and yet another testimony to God’s mercy.

“The Lord never abandons a person who turns to Him in prayer with hope.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Makvala Davitashvili. Tbilisi.
