A Thought for Today

The Power of Prayer

16/6/2021

 
This thought for the week is from Mary Bell.

Many years ago I was doing nurse training in a Sick Children’s Hospital and I did a stint in a neonatal ward. I helped nurse a baby there that had three major abnormalities, one of them being rare.

But what really struck me was when I came within a certain radius of that particular incubator, I was aware of God’s love surrounding that baby. It was tangible and it made an impact on me, and I wondered why that particular baby.


Some time later I went to the Isle of Skye on holiday. I was recommended to visit Jack McArthur’s Church there, and after attending a meeting, there was a cup of tea and chat with the folks there. It transpired in the course of chatting that they had been praying for a baby in that hospital and as we compared dates and the condition of the baby (and I may have remembered the name in those days) that the baby they had been praying  for was the same baby that I had felt surrounded by the love of God.

In recounting this story it has also struck me how amazing it was that I decided to go to Skye on holiday, and discovered the answer to my question of why. Is it not like our Heavenly Father to take note of our thoughts?

​
Be encouraged as you pray for your loved ones to be surrounded by God’s love or protection that God does indeed place a wall of love and fire of protection around them and it is very real.
