Yesterday we went to Wintersberg Presbyterian Church in Orange County. Most of the members at LAH were at a family retreat this past weekend so we decided to go to Wintersberg. We've been there a few times in the past.
Although, I have always prayed, it is a weak link in my Christian walk. ALS has revealed this as we moved forward with the diagnosis and since then I have been working on improving my prayer within my life.
The experience we had at Wintersberg was very nice. It was a perfect mesh with my current walk. The sermon was about prayer, what it is and how to do it. More importantly, after service they had a small prayer group to lay hands on and pray for anyone in need. Pastor Fred came up to me after service. He knew of my diagnosis. As we talked he asked if I would like to have them pray for me. Normally, in the past I would have deferred. Being in the center of a prayer group would have been very uncomfortable for me. I am changing. I welcomed the invitation and was spiritually lifted during the prayer. My faith in prayer grows stronger each day. I believe if I am to be healed it will be through prayer. I do believe firmly that God can heal me. He can heal me - I just don't know if this is His will.
