My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
'I’m a nurse and I love my job. God has blessed me with compassion for my patients, but now, because of my experience, it makes me go a bit deeper with them. Like me, they will feel vulnerable too, and I want to offer them reassurance.
I have Meniere’s Disease. It’s an inflammation of the inner ear. It affects your balance. I used to get eight hours of vertigo about three times a week. Everything spins round and you vomit. It was awful.
I had that for seven-and-a-half years. Then a doctor told me that he could make me vertigo-free but it would involve surgery. My family are back in Romania. I didn’t tell them about the surgery. So, I felt a bit vulnerable, though not scared as I knew God was with me.
The night before the surgery I read Psalm 121. The last verse says, "He will protect you as you come and go now and for ever". This gave me the reassurance that whatever the outcome of the surgery, God would still be with me. God was telling me to rely on him, not just the doctors. It was reassuring.
It gave me wings. Now I am vertigo-free. It’s taught me to rely on God 100 per cent.'
