Practical Praying

Practical Praying 

A poor man who lived in the country broke his leg in an
accident... 

That meant he was laid up for a long while, unable to
work. His family was large and needed help. 

Someone got up a prayer meeting at the church to pray
for this family. While the people were praying and
asking God to help the family, there was a loud knock
on the church door. Someone tiptoed to the door, opened
it, and there stood a young farm boy who said, "My dad
could not attend the prayer meeting tonight, so he just
sent his prayers in a wagon." 

And there was the wagon loaded with meat, potatoes,
apples, and other things from the farm. 

Thought: It's one thing to offer prayers that the needs
of others might be met. It's another thing to put those
petitions into practice.
