Woody Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 When her son feel ill she prayed: "Oh God, you know how much I am distressed, for I have told you again and again. Now, God, help me get my son. IF you were in trouble, as I am, and I could help you, as you can me, think I wouldn't do it? Yes God, you know I would do it." When she fell on hard times financially she prayed: "Oh, God, you know I have no money, but you can make the people do for me. and you must make the people do for me. I will never give you peace till you do, God". Wow - she really know how to pray a powerful prayer. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted July 29, 2012 Administrators Posted July 29, 2012 Yep- "The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Woody Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Yeah. But I don't know - telling God "you must" do something or the other. She was much bolder than I. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted July 29, 2012 Administrators Posted July 29, 2012 Boldness in faith? Her relationship with God was between her and Him. It is refreshing to me, though, to see sincerity and HEART in a prayer Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Administrators Gail Posted July 29, 2012 Administrators Posted July 29, 2012 It shows at least that she had perseverance :) Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Woody Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 I've never gotten to the place where I could tell God what to do. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted July 29, 2012 Administrators Posted July 29, 2012 There is beauty in that simplicity... Reminds me of the persistent widow. The judge gave her what she wanted just to get her off his back. Also- the importunate midnight request of the friend. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Members phkrause Posted July 29, 2012 Members Posted July 29, 2012 WOODY BOTH GIDEON and ABRAHAM bargained with GOD maybe other people did also I just can not remember now dgrimm60 Moses did also, many times as a matter of fact. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
