Country Star Tanya Tucker Talks About Her Faith and Laying Hands
“I think that’s probably what helped me the most,” she said in her interview with Dan Rather on The Big Interview.
She cited her experience at a monastery with her friend. Tanya witnessed the usefulness of prayer with the twenty women present, who all prayed for her friend stricken with breasts-cancer.
“And I found some sort of strength,” is how she described the feeling.
Not only did she see prayer in action, but she saw the aftereffects, her friend’s cancer later went into remission.
Tanya has also faced other trying circumstances in her lifetime. She suffered from the depression after the loss of her mother.
"You try and mentally prepare for it, but when it comes, you are not prepared for the emotional toll it takes,” she admitted.
Tanya also remarked on a burn accident that added to her troubles.
“I went in for a simple dermal abrasion skin treatment. Something went wrong and I suffered second and third-degree burns all over my face, in my nose and down my lungs. It was awful...It also changed my voice, which has been another obstacle I’ve had to overcome.”
And overcome, she did! Tanya has used prayer to overcome her dark times and move into a brighter future.
This is a story to remind us of the power of faith in our own lives. Do you remember the story of Jesus calming the storm? The disciples were sore afraid of the storm overturning the boat so they fetched Jesus.
Not only did he calm the storm, but he questioned them. “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” - Mark 4:40
Try to exercise that same faith in your own storm right now. Remember that our all-powerful and all-knowing God is always near. If he isn’t panicking neither should we.

A Prayer for Victory over Sinful Thoughts - Your Daily Prayer - July 26
Victory over sinful thoughts starts with dependence upon God to stay free from enslaving sin. It’s a life lived with a surrendered mouth and heart before God.
