Powerful prayers…

Following our recent feature on prayer, we received many lovely letters and emails on the subject. Sadly there was not enough room to feature all of them, but here are just a couple.

I’ve experienced many traumatic periods in my life, none greater than losing my beloved eldest son two years ago. Prayer helped me through this as it has many, many times. lt helped just to “talk” – to pour all my feelings out to God, who listens, never judges and always forgives. I know it is obvious I’m a believer in God, but anyone can pray and find comfort. Just give it a try, it works. Anne Jones, by email I pray each morning to ask God to take care of my family and friends during that day and feel once I’ve done that I can settle. Whether in a group or quietly on your own, prayer always has the effect of calmness and tranquillity. Margaret Williams, Stafford
