Thanks for the interest in my "Prayer at the Stoplight" write. The following was somewhat like that experience. This was totally unexpected to me, and also to my family who also experienced it. It was a Sunday, I think, and late in the day wife got a phone call from youngest daughter. She asked...

This was several years ago, and I was on my way into town in my car. On the way I prayed to the Lord, and asked if there was not something that I could do for him that day. As I pulled up to a stop light I got an answer to my prayer, even though I was not expecting one right that second! They...

We were new to the little town, and we chose to attend a small Protestant church that used a modified older home as the sanctuary. As the church grew, we really needed a larger building, and so a committee was chosen to study the matter. One day the members were invited to attend a meeting to...

Thank you to God that I started reading the Bible at age fifteen. I liked church, but had never read much of the scriptures. A few weeks before entering High School I started reading a couple verses every night just before I went to bed. Quickly I saw that I should read a chapter a night, and...

We met Ted, and Ellen when they had a moving sale in the same town that we lived in. We liked them, but we liked them much more when we learned that they were both strong Christians! They told us that they were getting older, and they were going to move in a few months to a senior care home. We...

This is a website that I was a member of ages ago. I am happy to have found this again, and I am still a believer in our wonderful Christ. Actually more so now. I try to listen for God's voice in a pastor's sermon, or in the scriptures or sometimes by that still small voice. Your friend in...

I was healed from my near death illness, which required about five years to get be back to full health. (We are given what is appropriate for our faith) I was close to death in 2002, but thanks to Jesus I got my health back. He is wonderful. Thank you, God. May all of you here get a healing...

Marie was an older relative, and a favorite of mine and of my whole family. I grew up with many relatives, and so I am not sure why she was so liked but she was. She was caring, and kind and had a good sense of humor. Her husband had a good sense of humor as well, and they always seemed to have...

In 2001 I was not living for the Lord as I should, but I was trying to taste how life was in pursuit of my passions. I was not allowed to get very far in that pursuit, but I wanted to. In the end things changed for me and I had no choice but continue going in God's direction. I closed my...

This happened last month, and was the worst accident that I was ever in. I prayed about our little journey before we pulled away from our house. My wife and I were going to an auction some fifty miles away, and I prayed for our safety and also the safety of our fellow travelers. I went around...

It was many years ago, and I was a sophomore or a junior in the university and we were all given a Bible question in English class. Now the profs were far from favorable to Christianity in those days, but were probably far fairer then than many of them would be now. Anyway, the question was...

It was last February, and where we live was attacked by one snow or ice storm after another. Some of our neighbors had a snow blower and they were so kind to come over and clear our driveway for us, not big but maybe 35 feet. We appreciated it so much and then I noticed that our other neighbors...

My father-in-law was a fine faithful Christian that I had the pleasure to know for about 20 years. He had been a sunday school teacher and loved reading the Bible. A few years ago we were called to come to see him at the hospital where he was quite ill. My wife wanted to see him once more before...

It was about the year 2000, and daughter had just found a new church a few weeks before and had told us good things about it and how it was a place where even miracles happened. Wife decided to go with her one evening to a special service, but I stayed at home. Wife told me that she was praying...

When I needed it, about twelve years ago, my longtime wife prayed for me and my recovery and asked many other Christians to pray for me. When the prayers were answered and I began to heal, I was grateful to the Lord for it all and of course also to my wife. I prayed that one day I could pray for...

After my healing, which happened from about January, 2002 to June, 2007 I felt very grateful to the Lord. Also, I felt that I was supposed to pray for, or lay hands on the very sick and the dying, so that some could be healed, just as others had prayed for me when I was dying. I believed I was...

After my near death several years ago I could sometimes feel that I had to give people a message in the Lord. I am not a big talker and only slowly got into this. I had to be shown that it would help people and not hurt them or myself. It was 2004, I believe, and my wife and I were on vacation...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I decided to try it here. It conerns the time when my late mother learned that she had advanced cancer. She was misdiagnosed by her doctor in 2004 and learned months later, and too late, that she had cancer and not an infection. I prayed for her like...

The older lady related how years before she had come to the point of delivering her first child. She and her husband were excited and hopeful. Then after delivery she was told how her baby had been strangled by the cord. He was gone, and the parents were crushed. The trouble was that not long...

When do we pray for the wonderful Lord's help or healing? Well, when our spouse is diagnosed with a virulent cancer, or when we are lost driving our car in a blizzard in the high country of Alaska at midnight, and so forth. Right? Well, are we not told in the scriptures to pray in all...
