Recently I posted a prayer request. I suffer with anxiety and agoraphobia. It has been debilitating for me, and I have since suffered with toothaches avoiding the dentist. I am scheduled for a root canal on Friday at 12:30. I have been praying consistantly and I want to tell you all that your prayers have also been helping. I prayed for a later date in the week last weekend because the only available apmt at that time was Tuesday and I need my boyfriend to be with me, and this day is difficult for him, and for me. On MONDAY morning, the dentist called with an opening on Friday, which gives us both alot of time to prepare. I had several signs that had the word, "Miracle" in them over the weekend... laughing in my head saying, "Yeah right", and sure enough, God answered my prayer on Monday. Nothing is more encouraging then answered prayers. Please pray for me again, that I am calm, brave and content in the dental chair, and before hand, in Jesus name. I never believed in anything more.

Hi Angelina,
I hate going to the dentist too...more than anything! So, I am totally in sync with you and will be praying for you. Just in case you think about backing out I will tell you what makes me go....knowing that the pain of NOT going is even worse and much longer. Oh, one other thing...you might look for "gentle dentistry" for people like us. They have dentists that will give you something for anxiety ....just tell them how it makes you feel....you are the customer, they should listen! You take care.

Angelina! this is awesome news! I was happy to pray with you the first time, and I'll be happy to do so again. I know God is pleased when we take our anxieties to Him!
And of course, I'll be praying for you again, asking Him to give you a calmness in your heart, and to rest in His arms as you face your fears. May you sense His presence through this whole time.
And you're right - nothing is more encouraging than answered prayers!

Praise God, prayer is a wonderful and glorious thing.
And you are living proof of this verse, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
I will lift you up in prayer this week.
God bless

Angelina,
Thank you for sharing this.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear how God is blessing someone else and how He is making Himself known to you.
Nothing will help build your faith more than reading the Bible - especially the New Testament. It is there we learn the lessons that can carry us safely through this life - and after that, Heaven!
