If you have a loved one who avoids the Lord, my friend Jerry's story might help. Jerry's brother, Steve, always pushed away any talk of prayer.
Steve's wife took their kids and blocked him on everything. Facing surgery, Steve prayed for the first time, asking God to help him reconnect with his family.
On Monday, Steve told Jerry that his ex-wife had unblocked him and reached out. Amazed, Steve asked, "Is this how prayer works?"
This shows that prayer can make a difference, even when things seem impossible. Keep praying and have faith.
