Prayer is such an important part of our Christian journey. At times, someone will say to me, “I wish I could do more, but all I can do is pray.” My reply is “Don’t underestimate the power of prayer.” I recently received a thank you note from an 18-year-old high school senior. I have requested prayers for her several times as her health deteriorated due to spinal pain. She even had to quit going to school. Fortunately, they found a doctor with the correct diagnosis. Successful surgery followed, and she has been able to return to her senior year of high school. As a side note, she has spent much of her growing up in Turkey with her missionary parents. Here is what this amazing 18-year-old wrote to our church. “Dear Trinity United Methodist, Thank you so much for praying for me these past two months. I am so grateful to you. I am happy to say that the surgery went perfectly and I am back at home, getting stronger every day. The Lord brought me through with my faith stronger, and I can’t wait to see what He does through my testimony. Your prayers had a part to play, and I am so grateful for you praying for me, on my behalf. Thank you. God bless you. Jessica” Need a Kleenex yet, I did. We never know what life we touch, or what seeds we may plant. Keep praying my friends. You make a difference! -Deb Brummund
