WhatsappIt can sometimes be hard to see the direct result of our prayers. In this story, the power of prayer is so clear.
Power of Prayer
Many miracles have occurred since the start of this war. These stories do not always make the front page news, but people need to know about them. It helps strengthen our faith as individuals and as a people. G-d is watching over us, and we must remember that. This specific story openly proved the power of prayer. The dedication that this IDF soldier had to G-d, despite how exhausted he was, ended up saving his life and the lives of his fellow soldiers.
If he would not have chosen to pray the afternoon prayer service, who knows the tragedy that would have taken place G-d forbid. All the soldiers’ backs would have been turned toward the Hamas terror tunnel.
No, we do not always see the direct power of our prayers. We don’t always see how they are answered. But no prayer goes unanswered. No prayer gets thrown away. They all have the power to save, heal, and bring the redemption closer.
Although not every story ends with the open miracle that this story ended with, it’s important that we remember these moments so that we can strengthen ourselves in our dedication to G-d. It is never the wrong choice to connect to G-d. It will always lead to something positive. So keep praying, keep believing, and keep strengthening your relationship with the One Above.
