We Wonder

With all that is going on around the world, especially with the attack in Paris, we can feel helpless. It often seems like there is nothing that we can do to help. We watch the news from half way around the world flash before us, shaking our heads in wonder and disbelief. Or we hear the news that a friend or family member has cancer. Or we get word that a precious young couple has suffered a miscarriage. Or we find out that dear friends are divorcing. We wonder if there is anything that we could possibly do to help. Then we resign ourselves to the reality that there is nothing that we can do to really change anything. As we continue to shake our heads we say that “all we can do is pray.”

But, the truth is, PRAYER is where the POWER is. Prayer is effective and gets more done then we could ever do on our own. James 5:16 tells us, “Admit your sins to each other, and pray for each other so that you will be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

So pray, pray, pray, and pray some more. God is accomplishing mighty miracles through each of them!
