In 1991, I was pregnant with twins

My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible

'In 1991, I was pregnant with twins. At 24 weeks, I lost them. It was a desperate time. My husband and I went through a process of mourning and pain. 

People came to talk to us about where God was in the situation. I realised that something was missing. I needed to talk to God. I developed a relationship with him, he was the only person I needed. 

That was the beginning. It was not too long before I got pregnant again. I was a different person during that pregnancy. I never got angry for nine months. You could never annoy me, because there was a joy radiating in my heart.

I was constantly reading the Bible and it backed up my prayers. There were lots of verses that helped, but particularly two. Philippians 4.13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." And in Ephesians 3.20 it says that God does "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us". 

I believed it. The words became alive to me. I became confident that it would be. I knew that God felt my pains. It helped me tremendously. My daughter has just graduated as a pharmacist. I’m the proudest mother. I still go to the Bible every day, but now, I listen to it on my phone. It’s the first thing I do when I wake up.'
