So two weeks ago, there was this huge event among us Christian under the SIB church. It was the annual SIB Sabah Youth Conference.
My best friend who was currently studying in Negeri Sembilan came back to join the event and this post is mainly about a excerpt of a topic we talked about during the conference.
I asked her what was the number one thing she prayed hard for? Well she said she prayed fervently to God for her life partner.
I told her there was only one prayer I prayed for so hard till it reduce me to tears.
It happened when I was still in high school, I prayed silently and cried silently in toilet cubicle. And it was for my father.
Now, my dear readers my father has this medical conditions called gout, it is a disease cause by excess uric acid. In my father's case, it usually attacks my dad's leg where it will become swollen and makes it harder for him to every day routines.
This was not was his first time experiencing gout, but to me that was his worst case. I had heard that gout could cause death and in that moment I thought I was going to lose him.
I prayed and cried out to God that He will bring restoration in terms of health to my dad.
My dad did get better and he had a few more cases of gout after that, but nothing as terrible as this one (well that was how I remembered it anyway).
The conclusion of this story is, the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16)
