I Believe in Prayer

“Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.”

[Psalm 5:1-3 NIV]

Sean writes:

This is not going to be on the Verse ,but more on what has happen in my life. First of all I am an Retired US Marine that was hurt very bad back in 1995 with a head injury that almost took my life. I came home to be with my parents at the Age of 26..By this time it was 1996 because my injuries kept me in military hospitals. I was already saved and had been since 1993. My injuries were so bad that walking was just about impossible for me,and I learned to retalk since my speech had been slured by the injury. I really just had to learn everything over again. Well a year later I went to a Church in my parent town the first time I had been anywhere in a year ,and was pretty glad to go. I mainly was on bed rest due to these injuries. Well at this church I meet my wife,and well were marriad five months later. Now if my english is off that still because I have problems.

Well we married on Sept 5,1997 and had a daughter on Dec. 28,1998…We grew into different ministries and I preached at some churches,and taught also. Well here where it gets bad on Nov.2 ,2006 my family was involved in a Car wreck,and a very bad one at that. Another driver was driving very wrecklas and drove across one side of the freeway to the other side. Well to say they hit us straight on and kill my Wife and her mother Instantly. I was rushed to a hospital because I did not even know my own injuries because I was knock out. I was put on life support and many other machines. All my ribs had been Broken,Lungs collapse,Second head injury,and many more serious injuries. My daughter the seat belt had cut her stomache open and cut into the intestons and injuring her blader. She went under serious surgeries. I was told they laid all her intestons on a table and went inch by inch takeing out the bad ones and sewing up the good ones. Then they had to put them all back into her. Well she was awake for the wrecka dn remembers hitting her grandmother trying to wakr her up now try only being 7 years old going through this. She and I were put into different hospitals and did not get to see each other for more than a month. Well after geting out of the hospital very weak in steingth we moved to Texas from Arkansas. To try and start a new life. All I could do is think to myself dear Lord please let me live to take care of my daughter…I take prayer Very Serious because I know it was the Lord that kept my Daughter and I alive from that car wreck. I have an original 1818 American Bible Society Bible that I take great care of because I read it just about everyday…Even though the page are very used and the age does show on the Bible it means so much to me after all this has happen in my life.The Bible is an real 1818 American Bible Society Bible,and I am very careful with it due to the great history behind it. Well I hope this story will touch many people lives that the Lord can Bring you through anything. Again I have started a new life for my daughter and I. We lost everything after that wreck. Our home and all Posessions we owned. This was due to our home being broke into and the Bank taking what was left. Well Take Care and GOD BLESS..

    Dear Sean:

    Your story has moved me profoundly, and please be assured that it “will touch many people lives,” for you epitomize unquestionably:

    “Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me’” (Matthew 16:24);

    “He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me” (Matthew 10:38);

    “And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:27).

    You live His Word: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29).

    No doubt, at times you may feel “I am a joke to my friends,
    The one who called on God and He answered him;
    The just and blameless man is a joke” (Job 12:4); and

    “He has made me a byword of the people,
    And I am one at whom men spit” (Job 17:6).

    Truly, “In this world ye shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

    Thank you.

    I know that your Beautiful and Precious Mother and Wife are looking upon you and your Princess from Heaven with greatest pride, joy and loving prayers;

    May GOD ALL MIGHTY shower His Inestimable and Infinite Blessings upon you and your Sweetest Princess; GODSPEED, always and forevermore!

    Mary Sun.

    Thankyou for sharing your story. Although I have a strong faith in Christ this morning I was struggling in my faith – asking God how I can hold on…help me to hold on God..in the difficult times.

    At my job I decided to think less and look for some help and visited the American Bible Society site. Then I read the testimony given by Sean.

    The bible says to ‘weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn’. When we go through our own difficult times we can learn to be there in more sensitive ways than to give advice or opinions which may not be helpful.

    When I have been through difficult times I have seen God come to my aid many times. The God who has been there for me, will be there for Sean. I will be praying for Sean and his daughter.

    Love in Christ

    Joanne
