I’m a firm believer in the power of prayer. I’ve seen it work.

Skeptics might call it coincidence, but it seems to me that when, for example, barren couples who desperately want children are finally able to conceive, or when inoperable brain tumors just go away, or when any other form of hopelessness gives way to joy, I believe it’s an answered prayer.

I’ve just heard about a website that allows folks to post their prayer request online, where others read their stories and light virtual candles as they pray for them. What a neat idea! If you need prayer (and who among us doesn’t?) or would like to pray for someone, visit prayabout.com. You’ll be glad you did.
