Unexpected Improvement After a Serious Illness

The Story of Tamaz Chochia · Samtredia, Georgia

After treatment for a serious illness of the larynx, my condition remained extremely grave.

Numerous examinations showed severe changes in the tissues.

The doctors continued to monitor me, carried out the necessary tests, and did not conceal the seriousness of the situation.

During this time, with deep faith, I began turning to the Lord through the prayers of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze and reverently using oil blessed at his resting place.

After some time, another examination was carried out.

To the doctors’ astonishment, my condition had changed considerably.

There was clear positive progress.

Many of the previous pathological changes could no longer be found.

Experienced specialists were invited for consultation, and they too noted the unexpected improvement.

For me and my family, this became a great spiritual consolation and a strengthening of faith in God’s mercy.

“The Lord knows the measure of every trial and, according to His holy will, grants help and consolation to each person.”

Glory to God for all things!

From the testimony of Tamaz Chochia. Samtredia.
