Anne Graham Lotz’s Daughter Home Again After Another Heart-Related Scare

Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of the late evangelist Billy Graham, announced to her social media followers on Sunday that her daughter Rachel-Ruth had been rushed to the hospital with severe heart pain over the weekend.

In a Facebook post, Lotz shared with her followers that she and her daughter had finished shooting a new project on Good Friday. As CBN News has reported, Rachel-Ruth had serious heart trouble in January, and it suddenly resurfaced on Saturday, so she was quickly taken to the hospital where she remained Easter Sunday.

“Rachel-Ruth and I finished on Friday a week of videotaping at my father’s house for our new Jesus Followers Bible study,” she wrote.

“Saturday night she had such severe heart pain she was rushed by EMS to the hospital in Asheville—where she still is on this Easter Sunday. The word God seemed to give me this morning is Job 12:9-10 … ‘the hand of the Lord has done this … In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.’ While we are not afraid, we are trusting whatever this is, it is part of God’s perfect plan for her,” Lotz continued.

“Please pray with us for God once again to strengthen and settle Rachel-Ruth’s heart, release her pain and continue to give her breath. We are so eternally grateful that Jesus is alive and He is with us. He has risen from the dead! Just as He said! Hallelujah!” she concluded.

‘We Just Want You to Know that God has Heard and Answered Prayer’

On Tuesday, Anne posted a video to Facebook to give an update on Rachel-Ruth’s health.

Appearing in an almost three-and-a-half-minute video while standing beside her daughter, Lotz said, “I want to thank you all for your prayers for Rachel-Ruth and all of us this past weekend. It was quite an adventure.”

“So it’s amazing. We finished the video series on Friday. Then Saturday was when she had such severe heart pain she was rushed to the hospital and released yesterday (Monday) afternoon,” she said. “We just want you to know that God has heard and answered prayer.”

Lotz referred her followers to “the New Testament’s book of John, chapter 10, where Jesus said that He’s the Good Shepherd. That He leads us, in and out, and we can be safe.

“And sometimes He leads us into hard things, doesn’t He?” she said. “But He keeps us safe and takes us through. So I just praise Him that He was with us. His presence was with us just every moment this entire weekend.

“And I know for some of you, you don’t feel like He’s not led you through,” Lotz continued. “But the neat thing for a believer, a follower of Jesus, is that if He doesn’t lead you through, He’s going to take you home. So we’re in a win-win situation.”

‘God Just Took Care of It Every Step’

“But God has answered so many prayers, I just wanted you to see Rachel-Ruth and see that she survived a major hospitalization,” she shared.

“He did answer so many prayers,” Rachel-Ruth said. “One big thing I’ve seen is that as hard as this whole battle has been for me, God measures it. It goes to a point, but then He steps in and takes care of you through all of those hard things. You still get all of the needles and the IVs that don’t work, and you have to do it again. But God just took care of it every step and brought doctors in that figured it out.”
