This past week Michael and I had to go out after dinner and run an errand. We got back in the van only to find that it wouldn't start. I tried several times but it just never happened. While we sat there waiting a friend called. As the conversation came to an end, I asked her if she could pray for me since Michael and I were stranded in the parking lot. I turned to Michael in the backseat and told him we needed to pray that God would get the van started so we could get home. As soon as the prayer was over he excitedly said, "Start the van."
I turned the key and it started. I looked back to see a giant grin on his face.
What a wonderful feeling to rely on God for ALL of our needs. There is nothing too big or small for God. He wants us to talk to Him. He wants us to ask in faith. In verse 16 He tells us that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Is your marriage struggling? Pray. Have you lost a loved one? Pray. Is your job not going well? Pray. Is money an issue? Pray.
Is life going great right now? Sing and praise God for all He has done.
