Dear "Choice Morsels" Readers,
This past weekend has been busy, but we are so thankful we can again be about our Father's business in South Africa. We are getting over jet lag, and feel more like ourselves. We need your continued prayers. David and Donna Haag
PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
"Never stop praying, especially for others. Always pray by the power of the Spirit. Stay alert and keep praying for God's people. Pray that I will be given the message to speak and that I may fearlessly explain the mystery about the good news." CEV Ephesians 6:18,19
As we travel across the United States holding services in partnering churches, we often hear people tell us that they have been praying for us - some it seems on a daily basis. When we were in a church in Ohio, we met a young lad by the name of Caleb. Becoming fondly attached to children and young people, I gave him a carved elephant from Africa when we attended a missions conference. Going home, he put our prayer card on their refrigerator door. Suddenly one day Caleb told his Dad that he felt they needed to pray for the Haag's, so he and his Dad went to the picture and prayed for us. We don't know, but perhaps at that moment we were going through a difficult situation, and God brought us through because of Caleb's prayer.
Words cannot express our great appreciation when we hear people are praying for us. We know it has been the prayers of God's people that have many times kept us from harm and danger. We know our health has held up these many years because people have prayed for us. We know financial needs have been met because someone prayed for us at a moment when we did not know what to do. We know, when going through times of discouragement, someone cried out to God for us. Souls were saved and sick healed because someone was praying. Most likely they did not know why they had a burden just then, but it was God giving them that burden and they were praying to our God Who hears and answers prayer. Prayer is something every Christian can do - you don't have to go to seminary to learn it, as it comes from the heart of a Bible-believing person who believes in our God Who listens and answers prayer.
Prayer has no time or distance limits.
