Families face so many things in their lives. Mine certainly did and will continue to. It's because life can deal with any of us badly. It's how we face that makes the difference. I know my family has faced bad times, and I know how we survived them.
Some people don't know how to survive. They do not have the props of prayer and love that my family does. When I was desperately trying to find out what was causing my bad health 10 years ago, prayer led me to the answer—not just my prayer and my family's prayer but the prayers of the people in my life who cared. And I survived.
When my Bill got sick with an aggressive and incurable cancer, it was people who cared that got me through the months of his pain and his death.
You are lost if you do not have those people who care and take the time to pray. I pray a lot. Yet, if you have been someone who did not care and did not pray, you can never expect others to care.
I am living proof of how prayer helps—how it heals and comforts. I use this platform to reach out. Prayer can take seconds or hours, depending on your feelings. Prayer is what everyone needs and is capable of giving.
