Prayer..

When I got home that night and my husband and I talked about it, I had decided to just pray everyday for the same thing and believe that it would happen. My prayer was that the insurance would approve it as though they had never seen it. That there wouldn't be any denials, they wouldn't ask for any other paperwork and that they wouldn't drag it out forever. My husband stood in agreement with me on this prayer and today, one month after my consultation, I received my letter of approval.

Isn't that something? No, it is something...it is God. I know this is a LAP-BAND® forum and not a prayer forum, but I just wanted to share my experience.
I too believe in the power of prayer...to God! Thank God for your blessing! I was dealt a blow as well from my insurance company. At the last minute they decided I was not completely approved but was not denied. This made no sense to me whatsoever! I'm scheduled for July 2nd (Monday) and guess what, I'm stepping out on faith and believing that God will see me through! Please pray with and for me that Cigna will pay for the surgery! I'm not turning back now because I know that Satan wants nothing more than for me to loose my zeal and faith in Christ. God is good...ALL OF THE TIME! I cannot financially afford to pay for the surgery as I am a single parent of 1. The power of prayer is powerful.

Many blessings!
