\"prayer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Someone’s prayin’, Lord, kumbaya;<\/em><\/strong>
\nSomeone’s prayin’, Lord, kumbaya;
\nSomeone’s prayin’, Lord, kumbaya;
\nOh, Lord, kumbaya.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love to sing Kumbaya!\u00a0 It is one of those songs that have many made up verses for it created by the leader of those who are singing it.\u00a0 The verse I have printed today is not part of the original song.\u00a0 It does fit my topic as I have altered it.\u00a0 Our Sunday School lesson was focused on prayer and how to come to prayer with faith while at the same time not attempting to control God.\u00a0 When people we love are sick sometimes are prayers are just that attempts to force God to bring a physical healing when God has another outcome waiting for the person we love.\u00a0 I won\u2019t attempt to explain why God\u2019s outcome and our desires do not match.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think there is any universal explanation for that fact.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone in our class agreed they had been in the situation of having to accept God answering prayer differently than they had requested.\u00a0 Each person though still said they feel God hears prayer and they trust God to do the right thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today in many hospitals and homes people are praying for healing for those they love.\u00a0 Let us be mindful of their moments of concern and pray for them to accept what God is doing and keep their faith even if they don\u2019t like the way the situation is turning out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
