“FATHER , FAILURE TO PRAY ISN’T AN OPTION FOR “YOUR PEOPLE IS IT ?”

AUTHOR: MARION BOND WEST

Gene I begged my husband, “Will you come with me to look for a coffee table?”  His expression said it all, Gene hates to shop.  “Never mind.” I was still hopeful that I’d find the table of my dreams.

Sure enough, I found the ideal one: oval shaped with a glad top-from the 1950s’.  The owner of the shop and I struck up an impromptu  friendship and had a lengthy conversation.  She was helping me to carry it to my car when we heard screeching brakes, a horrifying thud and then high-pitched screams.  We quickly put down the table, and she sprinted into the street with some other pedestrians.  I froze in the doorway of her shop.  Obviously ,  someone had been been hit.  Should  I run into the street?  However I sensed  silent instructions. Stay put and pray.

“Oh father, have mercy.  Let them live and not die.”  The screams continued; so did my prayers.  After two ambulances carried the victims  to the hospital, I drove home, still shaken, still praying.

The next day, I read that a father and two children had been hit.  The mother and another child had remained on the sidewalk.  “Miraculously , every one was okay,”  the article stated.  Putting aside the newspaper ,   I settled down in my prayer chair with my journal and Bible on my new table— – and a new sense of urgency about prayer, and obedience.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray…”- 2 Chronicles 7″14
