Do you realize that there is immense power in prayer? Just thought I’d share this and encourage everyone to pray for our country and military. We CAN make a huge difference, calling on God.

Most recently, (this morning) my son-in-law saw the power of prayer at work first-hand. He believes but it was an awesome experience nonetheless!

They own a 1993 Toyota Corolla. It is a dear old car. A few weeks ago the engine light came on. It is not a car that they want to have to sink a lot of money into. This is the time of year when they needed to get their emissions test done. (They also own a fairly new Toyota Forerunner. The Corolla is just a spare car.) It was greatly feared that with the engine light on this car would not pass the required emissions test to renew the registration necessitating a large repair bill.

This morning my son-in-law noticed that as he drove past the garage where he was going to have the emissions done that there was no one in line. He looked down, and yes you guessed it …. The engine light was off! He went in, had the test done and the car passed. We had been praying for a miracle and our prayers were answered.

Another experience I would like to share is … I have a very dear friend who lives in Florida that suffers from severe migraines to the point where she throws up. Many years ago she called me around 1 AM to drive her to the ER to get a shot. We were sitting there and she was in tears holding her head saying, “I do not think they will see me as I owe the hospital money.” So we just sat there and prayed that they would take care of her and get rid of the pain. She was called up to the desk, and as she stepped up to give the woman her information, the computer system went down and she was unable to look up my friend’s records. Our prayers were answered she got a shot. I took her home where she could rest as her migraine subsided. We were truly grateful for this answered prayer.

Having been a single mom raising two daughters I can tell you that I went through many financially distraught times and God was always being summoned. Sort of like, “I am sorry Lord, it is me again, I need your help.” He never let me down. I have seen God’s hand in my life many, many times. God does not care how big or how small your problem is. He just cares that you have a problem!

With our country in the shape that it is in, it is a good time for us to remember 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Now is the time to put our faith in God wherein “all things are possible.”

Thanks for calling on the Power of Prayer!

In the Absence of Money We Can Pray for Haiti!

Primarily our blogging efforts are for creating traffic to our websites, sharing personal notes, and overall social activities. There are those times when I use mine to share what is on my heart. This is one of those times.

I know that the world is aware of the total devastation that the country of Haiti has suffered as a result of the recent earthquake. Without actually being there it is truly difficult to imagine what those people are feeling.

Just think what it would be like to all of a sudden have your world, your possessions (few as they are in Haiti), your children, your parents, family members, food, water, limbs, etc. ripped from under you. Just the thought of this horrific occurrence brings tears to my heart.

I realize that with our economy the way it is, some of us are having difficulty meeting our expenses and would find it hard to give for the relief cause for Haiti. I was in the grocery store the other day and they asked me if I wanted to “round up” my bill for the Haiti Relief program. I said yes, of course. I looked at the register screen and was sad to see it was only four cents. But even that meager amount, when coupled with other people’s four cents will add up and make a difference. I am retired and on social security and find it a challenge to make ends meet. This brought to my mind the story in the Bible of the widow’s mite. (Mark 12:41-44) God will honor your giving, no matter how small it may be. He knows what is in our hearts.

The Haitian people need everything. Perhaps a look in your closet will reveal clothes that you are no longer using. Maybe your children have grown out of some of their clothes. There are organizations that are collecting clothing items to send to Haiti. Whatever you can give, I know will be appreciated.

The enormous lack of all things in Haiti is something that has been going on for many years and will continue in the future. This earthquake has only intensified the situation. They will need our help for many months to come.

I personally know of people whose family members have been killed in this earthquake, while other family members are still among the missing.

If we have come to the bottom of our pockets and what we can financially contribute to Haiti there is still something that we can do. We can make intercessory prayer on behalf of these people. We can cry out to God for them to have the courage they need to go through these times, peace and understanding for the loses, especially for little children that have lost their parents and home and now find themselves living in the street with no food or water, and the list goes on. We can pray that God will provide people to make great sacrifices and go to Haiti to help. We need to keep all those people who have gone to Haiti to provide their services in our prayers as well. Whatever is on your heart can be given to God.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please join with me in remembering Haiti in your prayers.

Blessings,

Judy Conway
