“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and keep on praying for all Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:18
Years ago, I read in Guideposts about an experiment that was undertaken regarding prayer. A group of people got together and prayed for one floor of a hospital. A different floor had similar diagnoses but were not prayed for. They were the control group. The patients who were being prayed for did not know that this was being done. The result was that the patients who were prayed for had better outcomes than the control group. The team’s prayers were effective!
I had not thought of this for years when a few of us got to talking at Food4You and it came to mind. Reggie remembered the story as well and Nancy was quick to learn about this miracle. It truly was answered prayer. It was very encouraging to us to remember just how important out prayers are.
