Title: Trusting in Prayer Today, I want to share a story with you--that taught me the power of prayer in the midst of fear and uncertainty. It was a time when my mother went missing, and fear gripped my heart like never before. She was on her way to visit my sister and me at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama, from The Bahamas. But as time passed, there was no sign of her. All we knew as that her plane arrived in Miami. With no cellphones to ease our worries, panic began to set in. Desperate to find her, my friends and I embarked on a journey from Huntsville to Miami, where she was supposed to arrive by bus. The road stretched endlessly before us, and with each passing hour, our anxiety grew. We raced against time, fueled only by determination and fear. Upon reaching the bus terminal in Miami, our worst fears seemed to be realized—my mother was nowhere to be found, and there was no record of a bus to Huntsville. Panic consumed us as we imagined all the possible dangers she could be facing. In that moment of despair, we turned to prayer. With heavy hearts, we cried out to God for her safety and guidance. And as we poured out our fears and worries, a sense of peace began to settle over us. Though the night was long and our worries persisted, we chose to trust in God. Much later, the next day, we returned to Huntsville, we were greeted by the sight of my mother, safe and sound, waiting anxiously for our return. In her own words, she had chosen to take a flight to Huntsville instead of enduring the long bus journey. Though she had faced her own worries and uncertainties, she too found solace in prayer, knowing that God was watching over us all. So, dear friends, let us remember the lesson learned in those moments of fear and uncertainty. When troubles arise and fears threaten to overwhelm us, let us turn to prayer with unwavering faith. For in prayer, we find strength, comfort, and the assurance that God is always with us, guiding us through every storm. May this story remind us of the power of prayer and the peace that comes from trusting in God. God bless you one and all.
