Prayer is powerful
When I arrived in Haiti last month, Steeve told me Pastor Danjour wanted to come pray with me.
As each day went by, Steeve told me the pastor wanted to come, but because of where he lives in relation to where I stay, travel was not easy. But on the morning I was preparing to leave, I was surprised when Steeve told me, “Pastor Danjour is here.”
We sat together - me, Pastor Danjour, Vorb, and Steeve - and the pastor blessed me with his words. Then, acknowledging all we needed to accomplish that morning, he cut the conversation short and began to pray.
His prayer reminded me of this Scripture:
“Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you . . . Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”
I have found it to be incredibly humbling in recent months to have people pray over me with regards to my health. I’ve also found it to be incredibly reassuring because when someone like Pastor Danjour prays, it’s easy to believe his petition to the Father will be heard.
My short trip to Haiti came to a close that day, and what better way to end the trip than by being covered in prayer by the very people on whose behalf I plead with the Father daily.
How thankful I am to know and love Haiti.
