In life prayer works like the emergency system 911. At some point in life all of us may have to use this system. When you dial those numbers you're instantly connected to an operator who is trained to keep calm in emergency situations and is able to connect you with the emergency service required to send help right away. You might not be able to say what the problem is. Perhaps a loved one has just suffered a heart attack and you are so out of control that all you can do is scream into the telephone. No problem. The operator doesn't need all the details. He knows where the call is coming from, and help is on the way. There are times in our desperation and pain when we pray prayers just like our conversation with a 911 operator. We're overwhelmed. Sometimes we don't know the words to speak. But God hears. He knows our name and our situation. Help is on the way; He's already begun to bring the remedy. 'Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.' (Romans 8:26-28 NKJV) I put up this picture today because God put on my heart to pray for that little girl in the pink dress. I took her picture in Haiti as I was walking through an orphange. I don't know what I'm praying for as the scripture says, but I know I must pray for her. This is a 911 call to God, will you pray with me for her well being. You are loved!
