of despair it made on the girl. She began to pray for Naaman’s healing, but it became clear that her prayers alone were not the means that God would use. Then she thought of mighty Elisha back home.

So, I don't know if you remember but on new years I was drinking with the squad, and some time after my drunk message to you, you became the conversation topic, and one of them asked if I was…

After reflecting on the care God gave to Samuel, Elijah, and Elisha, I believe that God’s care for these individuals started at the very beginning of their lives being known. In some cases like Samuel’s, his mother Hannah desired to have a child and the Lord provided such blessing. 1 Samuel 1:27 says, ”I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.” (New International Version) In gratefulness of God’s blessing Hannah returned Samuel back to God, in reason of her…
