Supernatural Peace at Word 'Covenants' When Husband Died in Her Arms—Then Doctors Witnessed Miracle

Leta Greene has worked in the beauty industry for more than three decades and is an award-winning speaker and author of books such as How to Embrace Your Inner Hotness and Love Me Too. She has shared stages with world-class motivators, developed platforms for faith-centred audiences, and delivered messages of self-worth and spiritual growth. In this episode of Why We Believe with host Nathan Gwilliam, she opened up about childhood trauma, scriptural transformation, and a miracle that involved her husband's near-death experience and a restoration of life. Her journey demonstrates that God sees us in our darkest moments, simple gospel practices create force fields around dysfunction, and sacred covenants provide peace and miracles beyond human capacity. In her story, scripture reading, prayer, and sacred promises converge to show that God sees us, protects us, and honors the commitments we make.

 Childhood Danger and Divine Protection   

At the age of nine, Leta found herself fleeing into the woods when a group of older boys threatened to harm her. She ran along trails she knew well, terrified of what might happen, and whispered the prayer she knew: “Dear God… dear God… dear God.” One of the pursuers ran right by her and said, “I can’t see her,” even though she had been speaking and panting in fear. In that instant, she realized she was being watched over by someone bigger than the danger around her. That event marked the moment she acknowledged the existence of God and recognized that his voice was different from the voices of shame and fear she had grown up hearing.

Rewriting Self-Image and Thought Habits

At fifteen, Leta moved to a new town and introduced herself to a classroom where instant laughter erupted at her name. The misunderstanding came from her full name sounding like “Lead Them On.” Humiliated and frustrated, she lay in bed that night and spoke to God using the tough language of her upbringing. Then she sensed a still voice that said: You need to practice a new way of thinking about you. She began repeating the phrase, “Everyone in this room loves you,” even though she was alone. Gradually, she adopted a posture of confidence. Two weeks later, her classmates elected her freshman spirit queen despite her awkward clothes, missing teeth, and self-doubt. That transformation underscores how changing thought patterns—even one phrase repeated daily—can align us with the way God sees us instead of the way the world or trauma sees us.

Scripture Reading a Protective Force

In seminary, Leta’s teacher, Brother Bodley, challenged the students: read your scriptures, he declared, and he promised their lives would change. The incentive of a pizza party motivated her and many others, but something deeper happened as she began to read. She felt a force field forming—a spiritual boundary that lessened the effect of yelling, chaos, and dysfunction in her home. Over time, she recognized that the voice of God sounded like the gentle invitation to understanding rather than condemnation. Through consistent scripture reading, she developed discernment and realized the difference between thoughts that she should reject and those from God. That discipline became one of the cornerstones of her spiritual resilience.

Covenant Promises, Peace and Resurrection

As an adult, Leta faced childbirth losses, health issues, and the pressures of family and career. Eventually, she married Nathan, and thirty years later they still stand together. One night after a party, her husband collapsed in her arms in the hospital. A voice said: He’s dead. You and the children will be fine. You have made covenants. At that moment, she felt peace surpassing all understanding. Then she witnessed a silvery light enter his body and saw him return to life. Two months later, doctors declared less than five years to live from massive heart damage; seventeen years later his heart shows no dead tissue. Fifteen physicians gathered and reviewed his chart. What happened? Sacred covenants drawn in a temple, consistent spiritual practice, and readiness to receive divine intervention. This episode in Why We Believe stands as a testimony that the promises God makes extend into the deepest crisis and promise restoration beyond medical expectation.

Key practices that prepared her for that night

• Persistent scripture reading even when life felt chaotic

• Repeating affirming thought patterns like “Everyone in this room loves you”

• Living the gospel consistently in her mission and marriage

• Holding onto temple covenants as continual sources of strength

Trust Covenants Provide Supernatural Power  

Leta's testimony proves that temple covenants access peace and power beyond human capacity during impossible trials. That word covenants created calm surpassing understanding in the worst moment of her life. God doesn't give everyone the same miracles. Many good people don't receive resurrections or healing. But she did that day. Her children got to keep their father. Medical doctors with standing room only witnessed something they couldn't explain.

Consider what simple gospel practices create in your life. Leta's force field from scripture reading protected her in a dysfunctional home. Her vanity prayers about everyone in the room loving her transformed her identity from ugly duckling to freshman spirit queen in two weeks. Her mission showed what covenant-keeping families look like, giving her vision for what to build. Her consistency with prayers and scriptures became a secret weapon creating muscle memory through daily practice.

The greatest truth she discovered: God sees us in our darkest moments. At nine years old, cowering in the woods, something beyond her protected her. At fifteen being laughed at for her name, forceful prompting taught her to practice new thinking. At the hospital holding her dead husband, covenants provided supernatural peace, and silvery light brought resurrection. We are not defined by trauma done to us. We are children of a loving God who allows hard things so we learn about our capacity and His power.
