Thought for Today: Thursday November 20

Cover to cover, the Bible tells of people whose prayers were answered and who turned the tide of history as a result. Hezekiah prayed, and YHVH spared his nation when the Assyrians attacked. Elijah prayed, and YHVH sent fire to confound the false prophets and consume the offering on the waterlogged altar. Elisha prayed, and the son of the Shunammite woman was raised from the dead. Yeshua prayed, and Lazarus came forth from the tomb. Paul prayed, and new churches were born. Even Peter was delivered from prison through prayer. We can change the course of events if we go to our knees in faithful prayers.
