The Miracle of Prayer
by a military wife and mother
She seemed to be slipping away from me. My beautiful 16 year old daughter seemed like a boat slowly slipping away into the sunset. I desperately grabbed at the line between us, but it was just out of grasp, and I watched helplessly as the distance between us increased.
She had known of salvation all her life, had accepted Jesus as her Savior at a young age. But somehow, her zeal for God was lacking. She seemed always to prefer friends that didn't value God, didn't value our faith. Friends on the phone, on the internet, were her daily lifeline. Outings with guys I worried would take advantage of her naiveté gnawed at my thoughts. When I said no, I was smothering her, trapping her, making her life so boring.
Her attitude at home was distant. Did she want to take a walk? No. Make cookies together? No. See the garden? Play ping pong? Read a book together? Go swimming? Everywhere I tried to make a connection, I met indifference, resistance. When I kissed her goodnight, I was offered a cheek, not an answering kiss.
She seemed determined to belittle her sister at every turn. She was quick to notice my faults, too. Advice on college was contradicted and rebuffed.
Discouraged, I had almost stopped praying about her. It seemed hopeless, an inevitable end. No matter how much I tried to corral her, her heart was turned outward, always seeking something I couldn't approve.
But this summer, as I read a Christian testimony, a new spurt of hope fueled my urgency to pray again. I prayed that God would fill her with His Holy Spirit, flood our family with His presence, set us apart for His use. I prayed God would draw her to sincere Christian friends who would help her draw closer to Him. Earnest prayers, drenched in tears, rose to God from this mother's heart.
Outwardly, I saw no results. Then one late evening, a month later, out of the blue, she opened up to me. In church weeks ago, she had heard the pastor's invitation for salvation and thought, "Why am I waiting? I might as well do this now." Silently, in her heart, she had turned back to the God of her childhood. She felt new joy, new hope, new purpose in life. A week later, two Christians, a guy and a girl, she had known slightly before, invited her to hang out. She did and greatly enjoyed it. She began to spend more time with them. This night, she bubbled over with her new joy. The tender, radiant smile trembling on her lips melted my heart. Tears slipped down her cheeks and down mine as well.
A genuine thoughtfulness for me and her sister began to be the norm. She included little sister in ways she had shunned for years. She complimented my shirt or hair. She willingly set the table. She even suggested playing a game together. She talked of how her Christian friends offered to pray for her over a problem.
For two months, the miracle continued. Then school started again. Some of her old friends seemed to start dragging her down again. The negative, distant attitude reappeared.
This time, I didn't give up. I have seen the miracle of prayer, and nothing will stop me now. I know there is a battle for the soul of my daughter between God and Satan, and I know who will win. After an intense night of prayer again, I saw the beautiful attitude return. As she left for the school bus, she stopped, came and kissed me goodbye. Her lips to me, not her cheek.
I know the miracle of prayer. My daughter lives it before me.
Luke 18:7,8 "And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, He will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
