Power of PrAYeR
Do you know this story? It's worth reading.....
A poor dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. She softly explained that her husband was unable to work, they had seven children and Power of Prayer they needed food.
John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store. Visualizing the family needs, she said: "Please , sir i will bring you the money just as soon as I can." John told her he could not give her credit , as she did not have a charge account at his store. Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, "Do you have a grocery list?" Louise replied, "Yes sir". OK he said , "put your grocery list on the scale and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you the amount in groceries".
Louise, hesitated a moment with bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out the piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed. The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down. The grocer, starting at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it. "The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance. So he continued to put more and more groceries until the scales would hold no more. The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally , he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement. It was not a grocery list. It was a prayer which said. "Dear Lord, you know my needs and 'm leaving this in your hands".
The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence. Louise thanked him and left the store. The customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said. "It was worth evey penny of it. " only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.
Is it real story? I dunno. But it tells me 'bout the power of prayer. Don't ever think that God never listen to our prayer. Yeah, sumtimes we feel like God doesn't care at all to us. It seems that God just ignore us n do nothing. REmember this, He always do all things for us, even if it's invisible to us. We just need to believe and started to walk in faith with Him. He listen to what we say, so never say,"God, are you listened to me?" Coz what, He does listen our prayer...
Today's verse: When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. (Luke 6:28 The Message)
