(My child’s foot was made whole from that very hour; healing is the children's bread. See Mt. 15 22-28)
When Aaron was nine years old he had warts all over on his right foot. Over the course of a year, warts continued to grow in size and spread between all of his toes. It was not a pretty sight.
Each night during our bedtime routine, we would read, talk, and pray together before he went to sleep. On this one particular night, when Aaron and I began to pray, the Lord said CLEARLY, “Pray for his foot.”
