What Prayers Did For Me

When I was little my daddy would enter my sister and my bedroom at night to do things to his little girls that hurt or sometimes tickled and bring his flashlight mom never let us out of the yard to go play looking back I guess she was scared of what we might say but this one day in particular we got to walk to this church on Sunday the three of us. two sisters and a brother we were so happy that mom trusted us even if she didn't love us or our daddy we went and we sat and they asked us all kinds of things we really didn't know what to say, our hearts were racing we sat and we listened as he talked about God this loving Father, the best you could ever have because He loved you and would protect you and always be there so with him in your life you never had to be scared all you had to do was to talk to him everyday and ask for what you wanted to have and say he would help you because he loved you so much he wouldn't not be there, he would keep his promises and such so when I went to bed at night I would lie in bed and ask him for my daddy not to hurt us and stay out and then I saw them two big goliaths standing right there in front of our door protecting my sister and I with their arms crossed to hurt us no more I said "God thank you, I love you, you are the best daddy for me" I turned over went to sleep and it was morning and nothing bothered us all night, he left us alone prayer does work, if you ask that Father in the sky and it worked from now on, we never had to cry out of pain or fear God protected us it was clear it was a miracle I thought as I got older it reminded me of Easter when they rolled away the boulder Prayer really does work take it from me God will protect you just try Prayer and see
