I want to let the Doves know that persistent prayer pays off! I have asked you all for prayers several times over the last five months, but I never gave details. Without going into details now over a personal crisis that took place in my immediate family, let me just say that the Lord's timing is always perfect.Even when we do not understand why He doesn't answer prayers when we want results, He has reasons and He is working in many areas to bring about results that will glorify Himself.
   Our prayers have been answered in a wonderful way, and many people, including family members, have seen that all this was only because of the Lord, and nothing that any of us can take credit for. The Lord has been magnified, and we have been truly blessed through what began as a nightmare. But what the enemy intends for evil the Lord can use for good, which is the case here.
   So far all of you who hesitate to make prayer requests, I encourage you to do so. There is power in prayer, and many share in the blessings when the Lord does battle on our behalf. What is the saying about a burden shared is cut in half, but joy shared is multiplied? I can testify to that! Hallelujah to the Lamb of God, for He alone is worthy!
