Welcome to another episode of Testified, where faith meets the impossible and triumph rises from the depths of despair.
Today’s story is one that will resonate deeply with every parent. Imagine the panic, the helplessness—your child, thousands of miles away, battling a life-threatening illness during the most isolating time in recent history: the COVID-19 pandemic.
Laura, a mother clinging to hope, watched helplessly from afar as her son struggled with a severe sickle cell crisis in the USA. Separated by distance, her family was trapped in the uncertainty of a global lockdown while her son’s condition worsened. In the midst of it all, Laura and her husband held fast to God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” But how do you hold onto hope when your child is suffering, and you can’t be by his side?
Even after Laura’s husband traveled to America, they still couldn’t be with their son due to strict hospital protocols. Days of silence passed, filled with fear and uncertainty. They had no idea what was happening inside those hospital walls. All they could do was pray—and pray they did, through the deafening quiet, the fear, and the doubt that whispered whether God would come through. And then, in the most extraordinary way, a health care worker reached out, bridging the gap when it seemed impossible. In a time when the world stood still, God moved with unmatched precision.
How do you keep believing in the God of the impossible when everything seems lost? When the host asked Laura how she and her husband kept their faith during such a terrifying ordeal, her answer became a powerful reminder to every believer who has ever faced their own impossible moment. She shares a lesson in unwavering faith, a testimony to trusting God’s promises, even in the midst of life’s darkest storms.
