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?
