He Thanked God, Then Felt Himself Lifted Into the Hands of Jesus

Rob Wilcox shared his miracle story with me via email in September 2026. After saying a short prayer to God, he had a supernatural experience, feeling himself in the palm of God’s own hand. Read his full story below.

In His Hands

In April of 2022, I was diagnosed with throat cancer. I went to OHSU and met Doctor Schindler. He said I would need surgery to remove it, but he also recommended I see a radiation oncologist, so I met Dr. Kang in Salem. It seemed radiation was the way to go rather than invasive surgery. I did the radiation, 5 days a week for 31 treatments. A follow-up biopsy indicated the radiation did not kill the cancer, nor did it stop its growth.

I went back to see Dr. Schindler and he set a surgery date as soon as possible. It was set for Dec. 6th and took seven hours. They removed my larynx and opened a breathing port in my throat. I can no longer breathe through my mouth or nose.

I woke up in a hospital bed on the 7th. The OHSU nursing staff was incredible. They took care of my every need. All were friendly and willing to serve not just my needs but my comfort as well.

On, I think, the 5th day, I got a nurse named Julie. She was phenomenal. She also was a practicing Christian and loved the Lord. On her last shift and her last few minutes, she gave me a big hug and some encouraging words.

As she walked out the door, I said to God, thank you God for putting me in Julie’s hands. As soon as I said that, I felt lifted from the bed and found myself cradled in these enormous hands. I could see them. They were definitely Jesus’ hands. I immediately fell asleep and had my best night’s sleep. I think God was telling me yes, I put you in Julie’s hands, as she is in My hands, but remember My son, you’re most assuredly in My hands as well.

Rob Wilcox, forever in the hands of Jesus.
