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.
