"What Happens When Women Pray"

"What Happens When Women Pray" is a title of a book by Evelyn Carol Christenson. I have read this book numerous times and led a few women's study groups using this book. Its really quite simple in context...women praying "whatever it takes" for loved ones to be transformed.

The book shares story after story of miracles that take place when that brave prayer is offered.

Sometimes it takes something difficult to soften a person to the place where they feel the need to make changes.

I prayed this prayer for Emery way back in the late 1980's. He was so caught up with work, with worry and stress from his job that faith seemed to be a word he didn't comprehend. He was a man and in charge, didn't seem to be much room for faith for him. So, I prayed, "Lord, do whatever it takes to restore Emery's faith" and I had no idea what it would take. It took something very life changing for all of us. In a matter of weeks after I said that prayer, Emery's position where he was working was eliminated ! We ended up moving to the mountains of Oregon and Emery had time, lots of time to think, to depend on God for our needs and then Melanie nearly died, in ICU for 10 tens, her little life in the balance. Faith grew once again. Now I am not saying here that God makes bad things happen to us to hit us over the head with a truth stick, what I am saying is that sometimes we are hard headed, independent and feel very little need for God and at those times, if we ask, He will in tenderness and love show us the truth.

I recently prayed that same prayer for another family member that seems to be having the same sort of issues and I will continue to pray that prayer for them as long as they are thinking that you can live without God, apart from God, and totally independent from Him. I am praying for a miracle.

If you have the chance to, read this little book. I can only hope loved ones pray that prayer for me.
