DR MARC SIEGEL: Share your miracles, and I will share what I am still praying for
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
One of the central premises of my new book, “Miracles Among Us,” is that we all experience miracles; We just have to look hard enough to find them, and these miracles come to us in many different forms, from direct divine intervention and great doctoring to advanced technology wrapped in a collection of coincidences.
Unfortunately, there are countless tragedies where, despite praying directly to a personal God, the amount of prayer does not affect the outcome. As New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan told me, God brings us the miracles he wants us to have, not the miracles we want.
My book resonated with people who had experienced some kind of miracle and wanted to talk about it. Last week, I stood in front of Fox News headquarters in a cold wind with a sign that said, “Bring me your miracle.” Many people stopped to share their stories, including Kathleen, an elderly woman from Long Island.

“I had a problem with my sinuses,” he told me. “I saw two top sinus specialists, and they both looked at my CT scans and said I needed surgery. I went to the healing center I went to the night before the procedure and prayed with my priest for a successful and healthy outcome. But as I was praying, a voice came to me and said, ‘Go see Scully. Go see Scully.’ I looked, but no one was there.”
“Scully?
“He is my general doctor and he works at an urgent care center. I didn’t go to him in the first place because I thought a specialist was needed to address this type of problem. But when I heard the voice, I knew God was telling me to see Dr. Scully, so I went to the urgent care center the next day. He spoke to me, tapped my sinuses with his fingers like sinus specialists don’t, and told me I just needed a Benadryl at night and nothing else. So, I canceled the surgery and have been completely fine ever since.” I feel good.”
“Allergic sinusitis. Looks like you avoided unnecessary surgery. What about the voice?”
“An angel of God, of course.”

In fact, not all miracles are strictly medical. Some are based on intuition, a moment of faith, or a doctor working with his patient and refusing to give up. Some result from direct divine intervention, others are based on a combined blend of faith and science.
We continue to pray for National Guard Staff Sgt. More than three weeks after he was shot in the head, Andrew Wolfe is now breathing on his own and even able to stand with assistance, according to Medstar Washington Hospital Center, where he is being treated. He faces a long rehabilitation process, but his progress so far is already a medical miracle.

This week we also continue to pray for the victims of the shooting at my alma mater, Brown University; A veritable ivory tower where centuries of peaceful study and discourse were suddenly shattered by a gunman, leaving deep fear, anxiety and two tragic student deaths.
Dr., a renowned emergency room doctor who worked at Rhode Island Hospital, the Level 1 trauma center where the victims were taken. Initial efforts at triage and stabilization last Saturday were successful, according to Craig Spencer. This means the medical team was able to immediately stop the bleeding and stabilize his vital signs. Successful surgeries followed.
We hope and pray that God will grant a speedy recovery to these victims and bring peace and tranquility to our university, which has been shaken to its core.

Brown University President Christina Paxson reported to the campus community on Friday: “The condition of the other shooting victims continues to improve. As of late last night, six were in stable condition and three had been released from the hospital.”
Brown badly needs this healing miracle; and as Christmas approaches.
