Christian singer Natalie Grant called upon fans for prayers before heading into thyroid surgery. During the procedure, doctors removed several tumors to find out if they were cancerous. And in a recent post on Facebook, Natalie let everyone know their prayers worked!
“We’re the family of God and we have the opportunity to stand in the gap for one another,” Natalie said in revealing the surgery to fans.[rsnippet id="3"] She explained how, even as scary as the "C" word is, she already considered herself blessed. Of the types of cancers, doctors assured her thyroid cancer is one of the most curable. The surgery, however, would also pose some risk to her vocal cords.

"I have complete faith in my God," she said. "And He never goes back on His word. And He never breaks his promises."
"I'm afraid, too..." Natalie replied when her young daughter, Sadie, expressed fear for her mama. "But my faith in God is bigger than my fear. That doesn't mean my fear goes away. It just means I'm not letting it be in charge of my mind. And I always remind myself who is in charge, anyway. GOD IS!"[/slide]
"I love the passage of Scripture because it says their faith made him whole," she told her fans in a live video. "Though I have so much faith, even if I didn't, your faith is enough. Your faith has strengthened my own."RELATED: Natalie Grant Leaves Us Speechless With ‘I Need Thee Every Hour’ Later, Natalie's husband posted an update letting everyone know the surgery went well.

"So, in other words, they got it all," Natalie explained. "The doctor's office actually said, 'Congratulations! You have no more cancer in your body!'"And just to make sure everyone realizes what a miracle this is, Natalie continued on.
"So, it literally is like the cancer was stopped dead in its tracks, fully encapsulated inside those nodules. Not a branch out, no growth, the tested the surrounding tissue and neighboring lymph node, all of which showed no signs of cancer or cancerous cells. All of the tissue was completely clean. So, when they took out that right lobe, they took out the cancer. So, hallelujah."RELATED: Michael Bublé’s Son Miraculously Healed & Uncle Gives God The Glory Not only is Natalie cancer-free, but doctors assured the singer her vocal cords are in "perfect working condition."
