I am always amazed about the power of prayer despite the number of my prayers that have been answered. What amazes me even more are the prayers for the little things that I've needed.
For example, last Friday I opted to join my colleagues for an improptu meeting and miss my usual commuter train. Before leaving for the meeting, I promised my wife I would be on the next train because I would only be at the meeting briefly.
Well, I ended up staying ten minutes longer than I should have. I ran furiously to the subway in hopes of making the right subway train to my commuter train station. I had to let two trains by, until my train came by.
From my estimation, I would just miss my train. I feverishly checked my wireless phone clock with each intermediate stop. Finally, with two stops to go until mine, it didn't look good.
I decided to pray. I really didn't want to disappoint my wife, especially since I would already be late home even if I CAUGHT this train. After the brief prayer, I let go, and let God.
When I got to my stop I ran out, glanced at the station clock as I whizzed by. It turns out my clock was four minutes fast. I made my train with minutes to spare.
