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.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
