Prodigal: I am worn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: You know you can’t shine if you don’t fill our lamp. I have an encouraging story for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book Psalm 91 by Peggy Joyce Ruth and Angelia Ruth Schum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my most memorable and exciting experiences was when I recently had the privilege of speaking to some of the residents of Seadrift, Texas, and hearing them tell stories of God’s magnificent protection over their soldiers during World War II. This is their story of the boys who went off to war and the families who stayed behind to pray for their safety. Joe Fred Coward, along with Hollis and Gerald McCown, said that they experienced miraculous protection during World War II, and they knew why. There was a group of mothers and friends in their hometown of Seadrift, Texas, who were fervently praying for their safety. Coward and the McCown brothers were among fifty-two soldiers whose photos were placed in a large picture frame at a church and prayed over daily until they returned. Everyone I interviewed was still excited to tell me, “All fifty-two came home!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, behold, Cushy came; and Cushy said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 2 Samuel 18:31 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
