Cousin Norman


 

I have a dear cousin who is battling cancer.  This is Norman when he was eight years old in 1969.  He is a little older now.  Ha, ha!  Hey, would you stop and pray a short prayer for Norman right now?  Often, we don’t know how to pray, or exactly what to ask for.  But we should just pray.  And if we pray for the wrong thing or ask for the wrong thing, and neither are according to what God is trying to accomplish, the blessed Holy Spirit of God takes our prayers as we have prayed, and offers them up to the throne of God, the Father and says, “Gerald said thus-and-so, but really, what he meant to say was thus-and-so.”  The Holy Spirit turns our prayers around and delivers them as we would have wanted them to be delivered had we known all that God knows.  Paul said in Romans 8:26, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”  Hey, I am praying for full healing for my cousin, but God knows best.  And I want God’s perfect will, don’t you?
