Please pray for me. I would really appreciate a miracle! Please Lord.

I have a huge cortical cyst on my lower left kidney which is causing mineral imbalances, blood pressure problems, and lower back pain. Since I am chemically sensitive and allergic to narcotic drugs, surgery would be risky.

Thanks.

Sister Elizabeth Maria, in Christ,

May Most Holy Theotokos protect you and intercede for your healing. Amin.

Get well, sister. I am confident you will be fine, by God's mercy and doctor's knowledge.

Dear Elizabeth Maria,

I don't know what a cortical cyst is (many times medical terms are used here which others do not know...I usually do a 'google' search to find out, but this time nothing came up).

However I still pray for the intercessions of St. Nektarios to help you, to cure you and to find a solution to the complexity this medical condition poses for you.

The offspring of Selyvria and the guardian of Aegina
the true friend of virtue who appeared in the last days,
we faithful honour thee as a Godly servant of Christ
for thou pourest forth healings of all kinds for those who piously cry out:
Glory to God who glorified thee
Glory to Him who made thee wondrous
Glory to Him who worketh healings for all through thee
AMEN!


In Christ our Hope,
Alice

The doctor did not describe what a cortical cyst was either.

So I did medical research through my college campus library and scanned through several research articles. A cyst on the kidney is a growth that is usually benign, but when it grows it affects the kidney function which leads to times when I experience high blood pressure and mineral imbalances, leading to cramping. A cortical cyst is on the surface of the kidney.

So, please pray that this cyst resolves naturally or disappears rapidly through a miracle.
