Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield,
For in him our hearts rejoice;
in his holy name we trust.
Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Luke 4: 38 – 44 Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her.
How often do I pray for other people? Do I believe my prayer has power?
Action: Pray for someone today.

My husband has just come home after a complicated spinal surgery. I am convinced of the power of prayer, as so many people have been praying for him, and he is doing really well. I continue to pray for him and to pray for myself for patience and strength during his recovery!

On the other hand, what do you do when there is a baby at St. Jude's who has been fervently prayed for many times a day by over 300 people, and then the baby dies after enduring indescribable suffering for over a year? Maybe God just watches but he doesn't intervene. When things turn out well, are we kidding ourselves that there was divine intervention in action? I guess when we get to the perspective of eternity, our painful events, mourning and dramas will be nothing but feeble blips on the horizon.
