It was the day of my chemistry exam and I didn't feel confident at all. I was nervous, and I thought I was going to fail. My mum knew how nervous I was, so she gave me a small circular golden coin type of thing with the Virgin Mary Imprinted on it from Lourdes (it looked as though it could of been on a necklace). My mum told me to take it with me, so I could have it with me in the exam. At the beginning of the exam I panicked at many questions I didn't think I could answer. But then I felt the coin and suddenly I felt calm. I attempted to answer every question and realized I COULD do it! It turned out that I got an "A" for the exam. It really was a miracle seeing as how I had lacked so much confidence.

It was a week before my grandmother's 87th birthday when she was rushed to the hospital because of difficulty in breathing and a severe cough. Her respiratory system was so weak that she needed to be intubated with an endotracheal tube inserted to sustain her breathing. It was hard for us to see her that way. I felt her agony every time she coughed and released phlegm with the tube in her mouth.

After 4 days of suffering in the hospital, she used hand signals to tell us she wanted to get rid of the tube. She could no longer take the pain and wanted to go home. The Doctor said that because of her diabetes and other complications, there was only a 50/50 chance that she would survive if the endotracheal tube was removed and replaced with an oxygen mask. She seemed close to death and was gasping for air while the endotracheal tube was removed.

While waiting to see if she could breath with the oxygen mask, we prayed to God to give her the strength to hold on and live more life. Miraculously, she was able to breath with ease much better than she had with the tube. An ambulance took her back home from the hospital. At home, she suddenly asked for milk as if nothing had ever happened! It was a joy for us to see her comfortable again with no clue that she had just come from the hospital. God really listens and perform miracles. We thank you God for hearing our prayers. Thank you Jesus.

During a very low and difficult time of my life, I refused to believe that God was there for me, or that he even cared. One night I was studying for an important exam and behind the printer was an inspirational book calendar given to me a year ago. I glanced at the book which was opened on a random date, and the subject matter was "My Help comes from The Lord" from Psalm 121:2 and the inspirational story behind it was relevant to my need. After reading, I wept because of the message. I then looked up and saw the same Psalm 121 by my study desk on a small card that was taped next to my books. I wept again for about an hour.

What is even more miraculous, is that after several hours, early in the morning after my studying and weeping, I got to bed and decided to read a scripture and randomly opened the bible. You guessed it! Psalm 121 again! It reads, "I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord!" What a renewing that did to my life!

For 20 years, I had suffered from an undiagnosable skin condition. At times my arms and then my legs were covered with lesions that would not completely heal or go away no matter what treatment was applied. I went from doctor to doctor, family physicians, dermatologists and psychiatrists. Nothing would make the condition go away. On All Saints Day I prayed to Saint Roch to grant me a cure through a specific prayer I memorized. Once I had memorized this prayer my condition began to improve and I am confident that I have been granted a cure through Saint Roch. This was not a tiny miracle, this was a miracle that I waited 20 years for and will appreciate for the rest of my life.

A few weeks ago I went to the doctor's office to get some blood tests done to check and see if everything was alright and try to put my mind at ease. A week after the test, I went on vacation with my family. The day I returned home I found a letter in the mail that said that I had tested positive for a virus that has no cure. The weight of all my sins dawned upon me at that moment because I knew that this virus was a result of my putting my own self in danger. I cried and cried because I realized that up until that point, I had been missing the whole point of life. I had let worldly, material things become my priority.

At the moment that I received this news, I realized that the most important things in life are faith, family and good health. I prayed to the Lord and asked that He have mercy on me. I prayed to Mother Mary, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and my family's Patron Saint-St. Jude. I had faith that God would take care of me and my family, but I was afraid because I knew I had been the one to make the decision and expose myself to danger.

Today, I went to the doctor's office to get re-tested. I was nearly shaking when the nurse came back in to tell me my result. When she told me the test result was "negative" I knew I had witnessed a miracle. Only a miracle could explain this result, nothing else except a miracle. God has been so incredibly merciful, kind and compassionate with me. It was through my deeds, thoughts and words that I had failed him, yet He had mercy on me and spared my life. I am filled with gratitude and am determined to live a good life as a fervent disciple of the Lord. He has been so kind towards me, I will forever be thankful.

Today a dear friend of mine (which was recently diagnosed with a very painful life-long illness) wanted groceries and her husband was out of town. She told me she was driving to come get them, but God told me to take them to her instead. She did not ask me to bring them, or even hint at that, I just insisted because that's what He wanted me to do. When I got off work I got in my car and the very scary sound of my low gas signal chimed. I put her address in the GPS on my phone and it told me I would arrive to her house in 40 minutes.

I drove to the gas station and put the last $8.00 to my name in my tank. Soon after I pulled out of the parking lot my car read "73 miles to empty." I went ahead, delivered her groceries, and just before I pulled into my own driveway I checked my gas gauge again. I'm not going to lie, I was a little worried. I have to make it to work and back tomorrow. It's about 20 miles each way. Well.... I checked and it said, "73 miles to empty." When God shows up, God shows out! He is not just good, He is great All The Time. This may not seem like much to some, but for anyone who is struggling financially, I hope you can relate to how desperate I felt as I stood there at the gas station. He taught me a great lesson today in faith and obedience. And for that I could never be thankful enough. I give Him all the glory for loving a sinner like me.

On December 2010, I got married. I cannot thank God enough for my lovely husband Emmanuel. He is so caring and understands me. I am a doctor and so As soon as we got married I gave Australian Medical Council Exam and passed it at the first attempt. And then I started searching for a job in a hospital. In recent years it has become very difficult for International Medical Graduates to find a job in Australia. After 8 months I found a GP who allowed me to observe his practice. I was quite happy with that but did not stop searching for a job.

One day I received an email saying that my job application has been received. I was confused and I called them back asking for details. She replied that she got my application mistakenly and that she would send it back. I asked her if she could help me find a job. Then she said that they had positions for junior doctors and that she can arrange for an interview right away. I just prayed to God and proceeded with it. Today they notified me that they have recruited me as a junior medical officer. Thank God. There are so many searching for a job and I got a place within a year. Our God is Great. There is nothing that He cannot do. Amen.

My grandson was born in a Rapid City hospital. The cord was wrapped around his neck when he came out and his body was purple and looked bad, he was dead. I began to pray and pray. We soon saw his little body turn pink and heard a whimper, then a cry. God gave him back his life.

I was on my way home after my night shift when a man who towered over me and in his 30's came up from behind me. He first asked about the time because he said he forgot his watch, it was around 6 am, and he looked descent so I didn't think anything bad about it and answered to be polite. A few steps later he hooked his arm around my shoulder, pulled me close as we walked and told me to shut up because he had a knife and wouldn't think twice of stabbing me. At that moment I felt trapped, so I prayed in my head for God to help me. Out of nowhere, 3 students came into view, but not even looking our way, and for a person who seemed so resigned to what he wanted to do, the man let go of me and ran away! I got home safe and sound, and I know God saved me that day.
