There are
many voices that can distract us in this world of constant real-time
information. It’s often hard to determine to whom we should open our ears and
hearts. Also, we may find that listening
to certain people or groups does not add anything to our lives. Some
communication is merely confusing, or frustrating.
On the other hand, contact
with God is a source of unmeasurable potential because it takes the following
forms:
- Shield
- Vehicle of God’s favor, presence, grace, and wisdom
- Balm (medicine) for a sorrowful soul
- Most powerful weapon against sin and heartache
- Avenue of conversation with God
Four Testimonies of The Miracle of
Prayer
Me
A few days
ago, I was almost overcome by exhaustion and panic. I was frustrated by the constant battles with my health and
finances. Where is the joy in the middle of continual setbacks? God didn’t take
my problems away, but he eased my sorrows by leading me to a route of temporary
escape: time-travel romances. It’s not my chosen genre for a variety of reasons.
However, God was directing me to the only
form of light escape entertainment to lift me out of my despondency at this
time. It worked!
Me (Again)
My kids both
played percussion, for a time, in school. Therefore, we purchased a basic
percussion kit for practice at home. Neither of them is interested in playing
anything but the piano at this point; so we planned to sell the instrument. Nobody
bought it on e-bay. Unexpectedly, a friend suggested she buy it for her young
children. This offer came at the exact time when my daughter wanted to order
her high school senior class ring. The sale of the equipment will almost cover
the cost of the jewelry.
Danny
He is a man
I met on Google+. He recovered from surgery that only had a 7% survival rate.
In addition, this powerful man of God suddenly gave up decades of addiction and
hard living through faith—against the odds.
Jenna
She is a
friend who was recently in a near-fatal car accident. She was driving
significantly over the speed limit and lost control of the car. Her vehicle
completely rolled over four times. She was admitted to the hospital with injuries,
including bleeding in her brain. However, the flow of blood has stopped against
all odds. After such a severe crash, her main concerns are bruising, a few
fractures, and minor spinal misalignment. Unbelievable!
My Conclusion
Literally, prayer is a vehicle for
God to show His power in our lives. The four testimonies above are only a fraction of the cases
I could cite. I have seen prayer change many lives, including my own. If we
stop listening to the noise of a confused, dark world, and start listening to
the divine voice within, who knows what incredible transformations will occur?
How has
prayer been a vehicle to miracles for you?
