'Miraculous': Amy Grant Credits Power of Prayer in Her Recovery from Open Heart Surgery

Andrea Morris : Jun 18, 2020  CBN News

"...I want to say thank you to each person who said a prayer for me. Prayer changes everything. Let's keep those prayers going for our country and let's turn all the brokenness into love and seeing each other..." -Amy Grant

In February, Grant said in a statement on Twitter that her doctors discovered she has had a heart condition since birth.

"Since February is heart health awareness month, I want to send a shout out to my doctor, John Bright Cage. He suggested I have a check up because of my Dad's heart history. As always, I am feeling great, but the battery of tests he put me through show that I have had a heart condition since birth. The first good news is that I am completely asymptomatic. The second good news is that it's fixable, so instead of concerts and camping trips this summer, I am going to take care of my heart. Are you taking care of yours?! Please do. XO Amy"

After undergoing a series of tests, it was determined that Grant's heart condition, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR), would require surgery.

The 59-year-old shared photos of her post-surgery scars on Instagram and compared her experience to being "a non-runner who was signed up for a marathon."

She thanked her family, friends, and fans for their support and prayers:

"Hi everybody... I know there is so much going on in the world right now. This is a crazy, broken, yet beautiful time. And in the midst of all of that—in the midst of all of our awareness and becoming and learning to love and see each other—I've had this really unique experience of having an unanticipated open heart surgery. The only way I can explain my experience would be to ask you to imagine a non-runner who was signed up for a marathon. I didn't want it, but I had to have it anyway and it was a week ago Wednesday. And as people heard about the surgery I started getting messages: "I'm praying for you" ..."I'm praying for you." People I worked with decades ago, people who have come to my concerts or listen to my music, my work family, people on social media, and my own friends and family all offered their prayers. And now, ten days later, I just want to say, from the moment I went to the hospital, if it really were a marathon race, I felt like I got into that runners block and as soon as it was time for the race to start there was this massive West Texas wind at my back... just pushing me through. Even stuff I was really scared about felt like nothing more than just a deep breath and something supernatural pushed me through it. My recovery has honestly felt miraculous. And so I want to say thank you to each person who said a prayer for me. Prayer changes everything. Let's keep those prayers going for our country and let's turn all the brokenness into love and seeing each other. I love you. Amy" (via Instagram)

Grant, who has been married to country singer Vince Gill for 20 years, is a six-time Grammy winner with well-known crossover pop hits like "Baby, Baby," "Every Heartbeat" and "That's What Love is For." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
