When the Lord Answers

It's a delightful experience to cry out to God prayer and have Him answer you. I'd like to encourage you to speak with God more often. Isn't that why Christ died on a cross for us anyway? Not only to save us from sin but, to ultimately restore our relationship with God the Father.

I recently prayed to God not for myself but, for my little sister. Since she was born she has been battling physical challenges. She has had four surgeries by the age of four and she has to be catheterized three times a day. I prayed that God would ease her pain and her fear. That he would help my mother be strong through the tough times.

I tell you, almost overnight, he began to make away. My sister has cried less and started smiling more. She is so bright and cheerful. My mother has found relief in the midst of a seemingly never ending storm. God is good.

If you're having a tough time or you are agonizing over the trials and tribulations of a loved one, tell God about it. Ask him to step in. Then and only then will you know for yourself that He is God.
