TESTIMONY

When Hope Came Through Prayer

The Story of Lela Tsirekidze · Tbilisi, Georgia

In the spring, doctors diagnosed me with a serious tumour-related illness.

Most specialists strongly recommended urgent surgery.

In distress, I went to the resting place of Saint Gabriel Urgebadze to pray and ask the Lord to show me the right path.

After this visit, I dreamed that Saint Gabriel was standing beside me and looking at me with a kind smile.

This dream strengthened me in faith and filled my heart with peace.

I continued visiting Samtavro regularly, praying to the Lord, and reverently using the blessed oil.

After some time, another examination was carried out.

According to the doctors, no signs of the tumour were found.

What I experienced became a profound spiritual lesson and taught me to entrust everything to God’s will.

“The Lord strengthens a person during life’s most difficult moments and grants hope to those who do not cease praying.”

Glory to God for all things!
