My parents are God-fearing people. I want to tell about a miracle that happened in my life. Years ago, when I was 7 years old and my parents were preparing all the necessary documents for my school, they took me to a medical examination, which showed that I had poor eyesight. Even my parents had not noticed it. The doctor told us that my right eye saw only for 30%, and of my left eye for 20%. They also diagnosed me with astigmatism, which is considered an incurable disease.

At that time, I was very little to fight my disease with prayer, but my mother did it for me. She prayed for me earnestly, with great love and faith. Every time we had prayer for the sick in the Church, my mother laid her hand on my head and asked for my healing, believing that the Lord would heal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #808080;\">September 1 came soon, and I went to school in glasses. My classmates were mocking at me, calling me different names, \u201cBlind\u201d, \u201cShurik\u201d (a Soviet Movie character in glasses), etcetera. I was so grieved because of that. I felt inferior. Almost every day my mother came to school with me, spoke to my teacher and urged my classmates not to taunt me, but in vain.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3222 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697797548-1024x671.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697797548-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697797548-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697797548-768x503.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697797548-1099x720.jpg 1099w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697797548.jpg 1852w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3224 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697719893-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697719893-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697719893-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697719893-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697719893-1084x720.jpg 1084w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/3-\u0544\u056b\u0584\u0561\u0575\u0565\u056c-\u0554\u0578\u0579\u0561\u0580\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697719893.jpg 1472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #808080;\">Years passed, and during one of the Church services, when the preacher called people forward to pray for healing, I went among others to receive my healing. That day, when we came home, I announced that from that moment on, I would stop wearing glasses. My parents were afraid; they started to urge me to wait at least for the next medical examination. However, I resolved that for me, it was the last day.
