The Importance of Prayers
Recently, I read an article by Shirley Dobson on how she and James Dobson were very tired 1 day but nevertheless crawled out of bed, got on their knees, and offered yet another daily prayer for their children’s well‐being. Later she learned that at the exact moment they were praying, a strange‐looking man sought by the police tried to get into the parked car where their daughter, Danae, and a girlfriend were sharing a fast‐food meal. By the grace of God, the door was locked, and Danae was able to start the car quickly and escape. In 2 Chronicles 30:10-20, we learnt of how the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the leaders, at the word of the Lord. King Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord provide atonement for everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.” And the Lord listened to Hezekiah and healed the people. Let us pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:17,18) https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
