| A Praying Father |
| “From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). |
| I heard recently of a preacher who concluded his sermon by saying, “If there is someone here who wants to be saved, and you would like me to pray for you, raise your hand.” |
| A young man stood and said, “Pray for me. The burden of my sins is too heavy to bear.” |
| That night he got saved. He had been wandering the country for eight years without contacting his parents, so he decided to write them a letter and let them know of his conversion. Several days later, a reply came from his mother: |
| My Dear Son: You must have accepted Jesus Christ at the same hour your father went home to Heaven. He had been sick for a long time and that day he was very restless. He tossed from side to side crying, “Lord, please save my wandering boy.” I am sure that one of the reasons you became a Christian was Dad’s unceasing intercession. |
| A praying father is a powerful force. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). Do you have such a father? Have his prayers been answered concerning your salvation? |
