The Power
of Prayer
A
poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery
store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked
if he would let her charge a few groceries. She softly explained that her
husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they
needed food. The grocer scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store.
Visualizing
the family needs, she said: "Please, sir! I will bring you the money just
as soon as I can." He told her he could not give her credit, as she did
not have a charge account at his store.
Standing
beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the
two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good
for whatever she needed for her family.
The
grocer said in a very reluctant voice, "Do you have a grocery list?"
She
replied, "Yes sir"
"OK"
he said, "put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery
list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries." She hesitated a
moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece
of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the
scale carefully with her head still bowed.
The
eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down
and stayed down. The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the
customer and said begrudgingly, "I can't believe it."
The
customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side
of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more
groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.
The
grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper
from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement. It was not a grocery
list; it was a prayer, which said: "Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am
leaving this in your hands."
The
grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned
silence. The lady thanked him and left the store. The customer handed a
fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said, "It was worth every penny of
it." Only God knows how much a prayer weighs.
