Sunday School: Prayer for the Baby

Once I was called to pray for a baby girl ill with pneumonia. I knelt beside the cot in silence, laid one hand upon the small congested chest and slipped the other one beneath her back, and asked God to come into her. Soon the baby was filled with a visible inrushing of new life. Even the hands and feet vibrated, as if an electric current were entering her. A look of tension on the tiny face was smoothed away and she passed from a semi-conscious condition into a natural sleep.

He stopped at the threshold, eyes staring, jaw dropped in surprise. The small patient was bright eyed and cheerful, sitting up in bed.
“My God!” exclaimed the doctor, startled out of his bedside manner. “What’s happened to her?”
He was right.
It was his God who had intervened – that’s what happened to her.
The spiritual force that flows through us is the “breath of God” breathed into the “dust of the earth” of which our frames are made.
