What's in a Prayer

I have a young friend. She was a part of my life in Germany. She had terrifc parents, good, good people. They were friends of mine and I loved them. They weren't Christians, however, and at some point I realized that this young woman probably had no one who was praying for her. I felt that God had brought her into my life, partly for that reason...to intercede on her behalf in the throne room of the One and Only.

She moved before we did and I lost contact with her. It's been a couple of years since I'd heard anything from her. Let me repeat that...years. Recently (the last three weeks) she has been on my heart again. I've started praying for her again. Daily.

Well, today I got an email from her (the first one in years). It didn't say anything other than, "is this still a good email address for you?"

I wrote her back, of course.

Marvelling I ask, "God, what are you up to?" And then I have to add, "Thank you for letting me see You work."

Now I wait expectantly.
