The only news we hear this week describes the unspeakable suffering and tragedy in Haiti. Who can see the magnitude of destruction and hear the voices of desperation without feeling helpless, inadequate and overwhelmed? When our concerns become too big for us to handle, we need Someone bigger. Prayer is a very real and powerful intervention, for just as the angel Gabriel told Mary, nothing is impossible with God. Our financial resources may be limited, but prayers we can give endlessly! Melissa's prayers were full of lists of requests to God on behalf of her friends, especially their faith. So, let's lift up the people in Haiti, asking not only for physical healing but also for emotional strength, hope, and faith to see the arms of God even in the midst of devastation. God comes quickly near to those who call to Him, just as Melissa found out the night she was diagnosed with cancer. Bringing the people of Haiti before the throne of Heaven is one strong action we can take every day!
