God Showed Up for My Friend David

Hey , This is Sarah Lucas , living in Texas. I’ve witnessed something that deeply resonates with many stories shared here. I have a close friend named David, who went through a stressful life event that truly tested his faith.

He developed a painful lump on his scalp that worsened over time, making it difficult for him to sleep. At first, a doctor said it was just a boil that needed to be drained. But a few days later, he received a frightening MRSA diagnosis and was referred to wound care.

Hospitals have always frightened David due to difficult childhood experiences there. Even if he has been healthy for years now, they bring a sense of fear to him. So that same night, he prayed, simply asking God for help and to make things easier for him.

A few days later, the doctor unexpectedly called him to say the lump was healing well and it no longer needed to be drained. Still, David attended his wound care appointment, unsure of what to expect. While waiting, he noticed a small note on the chair beside him that read, “I got you.” It felt like a direct answer to his prayer and a wave of deep calm washed over him. He didn’t feel alone anymore.

When the nurse examined him, she smiled and said the wound had completely healed. No more treatment needed. This experience reminded him that healing isn’t always physical. Sometimes it’s peace, reassurance, and the quiet reminder that God is near, even in places that once felt lonely and frightening
