HE WAS only a little fellow and he was very, very sick when he was admitted to the hospital. The nurses felt sure he would not live long.
The doctors thought so too but one of them suggested a very serious operation in hopes that it might save his life. A number of students were waiting to watch the operation when the little fellow was wheeled in.
Bobby was afraid. Everything and everyone looked so strange. “Could anyone pray for me?” he asked anxiously. “A wee bit of a prayer would do.”
There was no answer. For there was not a praying heart in all that group.
Then the little fellow bowed his head. “Oh, Jesus,” he said softly, “be with me now and stand close by.” And the Lord Jesus heard his little prayer, for He always hears the prayer of faith. Why not ask Him now for what you need, dear reader, and if it is His will, you will most surely have His gracious answer.
Bobby was put to sleep with an anesthetic and the doctor himself wondered at the speed and skill given to him to perform such a difficult operation. The little life hung in the balance for a time; but God had work for Bobby to do and so he soon recovered a happy, healthy boy.
It is wonderful what God is willing to do in answer to the prayer of faith, and most wonderful of all is that He is willing to take away all our sins if we trust the Lord Jesus as our Saviour.
