"I HAVE NO ONE TO HELP OR RECOMMEND MY CASE. NEITHER DO I HAVE A STRONG FAMILY BACK GROUND. BUT I HAVE A GREAT DESIRE TO COME UP IN LIFE. WILL THE LORD HELP ME? HOW CAN I RECEIVE HIS FAVOUR?"
The next day the same Doctor went to see John. He told John, "John, your Lord has not forsaken you. It is your Jesus Christ who helped me to do this surgery successfully". John replied, "Doctor, I know that. I know that it is my Lord who helped you. Since I am an orphan, I am unable to pay for this surgery, but as you are doing this surgery freely I used to pray for you everyday". The Doctor also told him, "John it is your prayer which gave me the confidence and enabled me to do this surgery successfully. Continue to pray for me".
My dear friend, you may not have any one to help you in this world. But the Lord is very much concerned about you and He has inscribed you in the palm of His hands (Isaiah 49:16). So when you cry to Him sincerely, He will surely help you. We read about a particular incident in the 17th Chapter of Exodus. When the Israelites and the Amalekites fought a battle, Moses stood on the top of the hill with a staff given by God in his hand. As long as Moses held up his hand, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. It was at that time Aaron and Hur help his hands up, one on one side and the other on other side and thus the Israelites won the battle ( Exodus 17:9-12). When we exalt the name of God, He will certainly grant us victory.
My dear friend, you too can achieve great things through prayer. Even that Doctor testified that prayer was greater than money. Truly, prayer is more precious than anything in this world. When we pray sincerely to God, He will listen to us and bless us. Hence without losing your heart, tell the Lord all your desires. Then He will certainly fulfill all your desires (Psalm 20:4; III John 2).
