Scenario No. 1
A child has just become a victim of a hit and run accident,
lying in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Their back
could be injured, making it not safe to move them.
You pray, "Oh, dear God, 'help me' bless this child. Help
them to not feel fearful and ease their pain. I know that you're
the Great Healer. So, I'm going to take this child home with me
and decorate a bedroom for them to stay (making them feel
welcomed and comfortable) as they're healing."
Scenario No. 2
Second verse, same as the first.
It ain't no better, but it does get worse.
A child has just become a victim of a hit and run accident,
lying in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Their back
could be injured, making it not safe to move them.
You pray, "Oh, dear God, bless this child today. Help them
to not feel fearful and ease their pain. I know you're the Great
Healer and in control of all things. So, protect them from
oncoming traffic and may help come soon," then keep going, to
meet your appointment.
Scenario No. 3
A child has just become a victim of a hit and run accident,
lying in the middle of the road with traffic coming. Their back
could be injured, making it not safe to move them.
You pray, "Oh, dear God, here I am. Send me. Bless this
child through me. Let me hear the need of their heart. Give me
Your words to meet that need, as we wait together. I know you're
the Great Healer. Guide me as to how to best bring comfort and
ease their pain. And, Lord, being in control of all things,
protect us from oncoming traffic and give someone the heart to
call for help."
WORKS of the Flesh - Dead WORKS - WORKS of Faith.
- Three choices in how to pray -
Consider reading the following verse this way...
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, seeking my face (which is turning from
their wicked ways) then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land, II Ch. 7:14.
~ Works that Work ~
The next time you feel led to pray, try reporting for
instruction. Then, watch God begin to heal the hearts and lives
of people.
