Power of Prayer
Leaves of yellow, red, and orange that covered the ground on a warm fall afternoon. Through the sky flew a blue Frisbee with a man striding quickly behind it determined to snatch the flying disk out of the air. Screeching in the background someone yelled, "Stop, Johnny!" Johnny looked back to see who yelled his name. Out of the corner of his eyes two bright lights cut through the fog. Bam! Johnny was smacked by a black sports car that sped off without stopping. "No!" Steve screamed, as he ran to help his best friend. He collapsed near the injured body, "Johnny, can you hear me?" Steve yelled in hysteria. Johnny lay motionless in a crumpled disfigured ball. He was barely breathing. Steve's mother, Katherine, was picking apples on the other end of the house when she heard the commotion. She hurried to the scene and saw her son with a panicked, bright red face peering over his best friends bloody, irresponsive body. Katherine then ran inside and called for the paramedics.

Jesus once said, as it states in the book of Matthew, 'I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to this Fig Tree, but also you can say to this mountain, Go throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done. Steve regained his composure and exclaimed, "Mom, I don't see how you can tell me that having faith in something I can't even see will save my friend. Steve whispered to his mom with the little energy he had left, "What does she mean, the amazing things she has seen happen? She is just trying to make me feel better. I can't tell you why bad things happen to good people, only God knows. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
