Why Do We Pray?

Answers to prayer are always a delight, amen? You may recall in my blog from last week, “Prayer in the Midst of Distress,” that I received a text from an out-of-town friend for her granddaughter who was diagnosed with Lymphoma and would have to have chemo 23 hours a day for 5 days then two weeks off and start over for 5 rounds.
Here’s the text I received from Carol this week asking for prayer for her granddaughter, Shelby.

Called out of Darkness – Part I

I was terrified of the thick darkness. I heard the siren as only a faint sound like it was far, far off in the distance. I wanted to get to that sound, but it was so dark, I did not know where it was. Thick darkness engulfed me, and I could barely hear the sound anymore. Death’s door was opened.
