Averted Hurricane
Urgent request from
a friend; asking for prayer
for her daughter Caschel—
directly in hurricane's path—
refusing to evacuate.
No hotel will take
her, with all her animals.
She's holed up in her
bathroom, animals in cages.
My friend asks,
How do I pray for her
do I ask God to save
her from her own stupidity?
Later, as I pray,
I remind God that he created
animals, as well as humans;
gave Caschel a loving heart.
Remembering his promise,
if we ask anything
in his name—believing—
it will be granted.
So I asked, trusting . . .
Hurricane Charlie
abruptly changed course.
