This morning at church I was asked to pray for a young man in a coma after a fall. The gentleman said,"As you know the more people who pray,the more likely he is to be healed." Is this really the case? Will God only answers prayers if they are backed up by lots of people? Is God sitting on a cloud waiting for the right number of people to pray before he acts? This is not the God I worship. My God knows the end from the beginning . Prayer is more a question of bringing ourselves in line with His wishes. When His will is done all is well even though we sometimes find it difficult to live with. You can't twist God's arm, don't try. Commit everything to Him and accept His will. I did pray for the young man and of course would wish him a good recovery, but my will is puny. I leave him safely in God's hands.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
