Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray

Here, let me share a story.  A man in our church, who now is working for Summit Ministries in Colorado shared this story.  He said that when he was in his teens he was a really rebellious person (and I don't think he was saved either)...well, he and a friend had to visit this elderly woman for school or something, and so they talked for a while and left...I don't know many of the details, but here is the gist.  So, as he grew older God got a hold of His life, and really set him straight.  He got saved, and one day (when he was a senior, I think) he went back and visited the lady.  She saw him and said, "I prayed for you this morning."  It had been several years since she had seen him, but ever since she met him, she had been praying for him every day.  I firmly believe that God blessed those prayers, drawing the once rebellious teenager to Himself. 
  What a story.  As a teenager, I've seen the development that God has done in my life, getting me to think outside myself, to pray for other people.  Most of the teenage Christians I know, seem like they have some desire to help their friends.  Well, there is no better help than to pray.  No one really knows what prayer does, but we do know that God honors the prayers of the righteous.  I know that God is the one who has the power to sanctify, to save, and to truly change someone.  Praying for other people is so important.  Sometimes is takes months, years, or never for a prayer to be answered, but be assured that God was using that prayer for the best, whether for your benefit or someone else. 
   Any cool ways God has answered your prayers for someone else?
