Blessing of Prayer

I have a neat experience to share. This Sunday, Gabe and I were in Sunday school, probably at about 10:15 am. Gabe received a text from our friend asking if he was at home, and if he had a tow strap. He was on his way to church, but was being called to rescue someone whose car had died. We'd been praying for this friend alot lately (in addition to the last 15+ years) and he's really been responding in amazing ways to the Lord. It struck us immediately as warfare.

Gabe texted him back, saying "no, we're at church, but we'll sit in the back so you can come in late." After Sunday school (15 minutes later) we were in the nursery, checking on Isaac. I told Gabe- I really think we should pray. So we did, identifying the warfare and praying that God would enable our friend to make it to church so he'd get to experience worship and teaching.

Not 5 minutes later, he walked in the door, in plenty of time! I can't explain it- his story and the distance he traveled would never fit into 20 minutes. But I do know that we needed to pray for God's protection and victory over this situation, and with my own eyes saw what I would believe was a miracle. Awesome He is, and how wonderfully He pursues us! AMEN!!!
