God is with you

 

An open letter to a dear friend…..

 

Ava,

 

I have been to my knees for Albert and you. You are and will be prayed for. I am sure there are many out there spending many hours asking God, in all His wisdom and power, to heal Albert and get him out of that hospital and into his home where you love and devotion will be a catalyst to his recovery.

 

      James 5:16 says

 

       Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.

 

I have been the recipient of prayer. When I was in need of guidance and healing, a group prayed for me. When I was unemployed people prayed for me, even to go as far as fasting. There is no power greater than prayer. There is no power greater than the power of God as He reigns over our lives.

 

You have stayed the course, continuing to ask God to answer our prayers, in His will and in His time.

 

I have learned that time is not our enemy. What I mean by that is, our time is so immediate. We want instant gratification. Many of us think that prayer will be answered using our clock, our calendar. What we don’t always realize is God’s timing is always perfect.

 

I am reminded, also, that God will use even the bad things in our live to bring glory to himself.

 

We have come together as a group to pray. To ask God for healing. To ask God for strength. We have come together as a group, on our knees. God has used this time, these circumstances, to bring us together as a group, in prayer.

 

Prayer is powerful and prayer is redemptive. As we continue to pray for albert and you, we all become closer to God and we all look for to God’s healing touch as He begins His great works to restore albert to health.

 

Ava, God is with you , from the beginning of this trial all the way through it, as we all are.
