Hospital Visitor

May 7

Joy enters the hospital room and introduces herself to Jennifer and to a visiting classmate. The teenager seems perturbed that a stranger is there from a church she doesn’t attend. She announces loudly that her favorite TV show is coming on in five minutes. Joy takes the cue and suggests we pray now. We hold hands around the bed while Joy praises the Lord and prays for Jennifer, her family and her school friend and claims healing. I see tears running down Jennifer's cheeks.

"The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.
(Psalm 145:18)
