A couple days ago, I wrote about prayer, and asked that you pray for my father, who was in need of healing. My dad, and our family thank you all for your prayers.

Briefly describing the reason I asked for your prayers. My parents are vacationing about 3,000 miles from their home and due to a medical emergency, my dad ended up in a hospital. Though their trip included driving several hundred miles through some desolate parts of the western US, this emergency happened, thankfully, while they were in San Francisco. The surgeon that attended to my dad is apparently one of the best in the world in his field. As a result of the knowledge and skill of the medical professionals, two days later my dad is out of the hospital, and is well enough to plan on taking a bus tour around the city because the Doctors want him to wait a few days before flying home.

No one can know why this happened the way it did, but the situation reminds me of words God spoke to Isaiah in Isaiah 65:24, “I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”

God tells us in Isaiah 41:13, “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” NIV

What a comfort it is to know that God cares about each of us, he knows our prayers before we even ask, and he is right there with us through life’s trials, our own trials, or those we love.

Dear Lord, We thank you that you have control over all of our lives. Thank you for hearing our prayers. Bring comfort and healing to those who face trials in their lives, so they may have your peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
