God’s Love

Posted on September 10th, 2008 by catalyst into the Prayer category

The author of Basic Instinct and Showgirls writes:


Seven years ago, I sat down on a curb near my home, sobbing, and asked God to help me.

I had just had surgery for throat cancer. I still had a trache in my throat. I had been told that if I didn't stop smoking and drinking immediately, I'd die. I desperately didn't want to die. I adored my wife and children.

But I knew I couldn't stop. I'd started smoking when I was twelve and drinking when I was 14. I was now 57 years old.

I cried and begged God to help me . . . and He did. I hadn't prayed since I was a boy. I had made fun of God and those who loved God in my writings. And now, through my sobs, I heard myself asking God to help me . . . and from the moment I asked, He did.

I didn't at first understand why He did. I didn't deserve His help, I thought. I was unworthy. I ignore Him for forty years and then suddenly I ask Him to help me and He does? It took me some time to understand that God helped me because He loves me. Because even though we don't deserve God's love, God loves us - all of us.

It's an excellent testimony. And I challenge you to read the whole thing.

This is looking really bad.
 
I don't usually advocate for prayer, but in this instance I'm not sure there is anything else we can do. 
 
I suppose I should ad: The reason I don't often advocate for prayer is because I think too many Christians use prayer as a cop-out. Telling someone you'll pray for them is lot easier than actually trying to help them with their problem. So Christians pray instead of doing.
 
However, with Hurricanes, um well, it's all in God's hands.
