I was admitted to the hospital because my esophagus was severely inflamed and ulcerated.  The doctors were unable to determine the cause.  The medical staff made a decision to transfer me to another hospital hopefully to find the reason for my sickness.  I remained in considerable pain and received morphine to help ease it. 

One evening in the hospital I was unable to sleep.  I felt a strong sense that God was in my room.  I talked to God and said I was not asking to find what was causing my problems or to cure me.  I only needed to feel Him with me. 

The next morning when I awoke, I knew something was different with me.  I felt that I no longer needed the morphine and realized I could now take fluids and a soft food diet.   My condition continued to improve and I was eventually discharged. 

I think about this experience often as it gives me great encouragement in other areas of my life.  I remain grateful for His presence in my life.
