Are Prayers Answered?  10.28.15

A few weeks back a friend asked me to pray with her.

She told me I could use it for this message.

I sent her an email and told her I would pray for her.

I told her we would pray for her on Sunday,

and I would send it as a Prayer Request to Silent Unity.

I also told her about how Silent Unity prays over these for thirty days.

  Her response:

Dear Keith, this touches me deeply to know
that you took the time to do this for xxxxxxxxx.
The hardest part is the waiting and in addition to the unknowing.

It's been going on for so long now that it's always in the back of my head

and heart but as it gets into the homestretch

it seems to be a period of more anxiety for xxxxxxx and myself.

He's worked so hard to see the specialists he's supposed to see

and juggle that with work that it's frustrating and scary at the same time.

I'm trying to be a non-anxious presence and support for her

and knowing that you and others are praying for me enables me to do that,

so I thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart.

I sleep better knowing that she is on the prayer team.

Thank you, dear friend.
