Trying Times

I’m thinking tonight of one of my cousin’s down in south Texas that has just had a tumor removed from his brain…..That is serious stuff and around here we have been praying for him every day, each time we think of him we sent up a prayer…would you join me in praying for him?…I hope so because I’m of the belief that more is better and some are better prayer warriors than some of the others, but all count and are heard….”The prayers of a righteous man prevailth much”…When I was singing in a gospel quartet down in Carlsbad many years ago, our manager was a righteous man and with that scripture in mind I would go to him with my prayer request and never, let me repeat, never did I fail to get an answer to the prayer….A big part of it is praying with conviction, praying knowing that a loving God is listening, praying with a faith of having an answered prayer….One of the songs we used to sing said, “Prayer is the keys to heaven, but Faith unlocks the door”….So, tonight Lord, …Hear our prayers and reach down your hand and touch my cousin and let him know he is in your hands….I thank you Lord Jesus……Amen
I hope this cousin and his family reads your blog because it is good. I sent him an email of encouragement, at least I hope it was one of encouragement. I want to call him and to speak words of encouragement on his cell phone, but words of encouragement fail to come forth in these trying times. All those years of Seminary training have gone up in smoke and evaporated to the nether world.
Thanks, Errol, I heard from him today and he sounded so good and strong, he is doing well in therapy and he seemed pleased with where he is right now…Such a good frame of mind…I am thankful he called me…It made me feel lots better..Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers….
