Oh yea, that's also why I noted to Charlie Carroll about his prayer
request that, I think it was item 2, the Lord do His will.
As I have grown in Christ I often find prayer more interesting than
before.  I used to pray in a petition type of way, you know, "God give
me..., help me..., etc...." now I can hardly pray without asking for His
will before my prejudices (lets face it, most of us pray for our
prejudices before we do His will).  But, I do find more peace about the
results, whatever they may be, when I pray that way.
Even when my dad got ran over 4 weeks ago I prayed the same way.  In all
honesty I couldn't help but pray that way.
Again, I believe He is Sovereign and will because He can only do both
well and right.  I get excited even thinking about this!

Dale,
   Will be praying, God moves in mysterious ways.  Praying for Charlie's

friend as well.  Dale I thought you were one of the 'old' guys on the 
forum (or perhaps I should say 'more mature').  20 years out of HS, you 
are just ahead of me.  You often display wisdom beyond your years.
   I agree that the Lord brings healing, sometimes despite the 
circumstances and in ways and for reasons we will never understand. E.g.

take Bob's situation below - if the church folk were praying for Bob's 
healing and he died and no one was praying for the drunk and he is 
healed and lives - we must trust that God has His reasons and purpose 
and ultimately He will be glorified in all things.

Jeff,
  you raise a good question -that I have not really thought about.  I 
believe Satan has power to work wonders - but does he who is the father 
of death have the power and authority to heal or can he only destroy 
(ultimately).


Peace,
Steve
