Everyone seems to agree that Prayer can be a powerful tool in many ways. Prayer is defined in the Webster on line dictionary as 1: an address (as a petition) to God or a god in word or thought  (2): a set order of words used in praying 3: an earnest request or wish.  

Many of you know that recently my Mother in Law passed away and two hours later my Mother was admitted to the hospital for what they thought was a stroke. Needless to say, prayer has been a constant in our house for a while now. I am a big prayer person to begin with. Prayer is usually how I talk with Spirit. I find a strong comfort in “giving it over” to a higher power and knowing that prayers get answered, I try to always pray for the “best of all those concerned”. This is particularly tough when you know that might mean that your Mom might not pull through if the best for her might be to cross over instead of coming back to a paralyzed body. 

So, when my Mother became ill, I emailed friends and family and asked them to put Mom on their prayer lists. Mom was being prayed for all across the country. I found myself making the 3+ hour drive to Goshen and laying in the twin bed at my parent’s house praying constantly. It was how I woke up and how I went to sleep. My mother is a religious woman too, so it just seemed the right thing to do. Prayer became automatic, yet full of meaning and support for me.  

One night I had a dream that I was in the hospital with Mom and Dad. The doctor came in and said she could go home. Mom seemed happy about that. When I woke up and told the dream to Dave, I realized that going “home” might mean passing over. That day I got a phone call from my sister Ann saying that Mom had gotten much worse and they had no idea why. It seems that there was more wrong here than a stroke. Dave suggested that I go back a day earlier than planned in case Mom decided to “go home.” I was torn, but the dream had been so clear and Mom seemed so excited to go home that I decided to not run down there. I came to terms with the fact that she was most likely not going to make it and I was okay with that. Not that I was happy for me, but with having a husband that has died and come back plus listening to so many people speak about their Near Death Experiences, I am strong in my faith that Mom would be okay if she went home. A few days later, Dave told me that Spirit has also told him that Mom could have gone home that day, so Dave “checked” in from time to time to see how she was doing. 

Mom’s health continued to decline and they moved her to ICU. That same night, my little sister, Gray came in that night from Australia. All four sisters were together which was rare. That night lying in one twin bed with my sister, Gigi in the other, Gigi said to me “I don’t know why I am not more emotional about this. I think my faith let’s me know that Mom is going to be okay.” I replied “My faith helps me to know that everything is going to be okay whether Mom makes it or not.” And as I lay there, I realized that I hadn’t prayed since that dream I had a few nights back. I truly knew that my prayers had been heard and that the constant prayers were to help me get through the rough time. I needed to feel like I had some control and that I was doing something. Prayer gave me that. When your Mother is lying in the hospital and no one can figure out what is wrong, you feel like you have no control and that is so hard to deal with. But my faith was strong and I knew my prayers and everyone else had been heard. I just knew that what ever happened, Mom would be okay. It was an intense moment that showed me the true power of prayer. 

To make a long story shorter, a day or two after Gray arrived, Mom started to recover. The doctors still don’t know what she had except that it wasn’t a stroke. It seems she has some weird virus that caused swelling of her brain and spine which caused paralysis of her body. She started to be able to move her legs and her right arm. She finally was able to speak again! They moved her from ICU back to a regular room and this trip, I brought Dave with me. I went to the hospital and when I told Mom that Dave was with me, she said “Oh, I want to talk to Dave! I went some place and as I was looking for him but I couldn’t find him!” She told me that she didn’t know where she went, but that she thought Dave would be there. She said “Then I got called back” I said I thought she went home for a little bit and that she got a preview of where she would go “a long time from now!” I made sure that she and Dave had private time together when he came to visit. Mom was quite anxious to talk to Dave about her experience. Mom told him that she knew that Dave was with his Mom in that place (remember that his mom has passed away right before this and Dave’s mom has visited him since). She and Dave talked quite a bit and when I came back in the room she wanted to know how we “called her back.” I told her I thought it was all of us praying for her. Later Mom told Gray that there were a bunch of “church people that she didn’t recognize” that called her back.  

I feel that those “church people that she didn’t recognize” were all of the people from all over the country who were praying for her. I think that my Mother’s experience is more proof that the power of prayer is more real than any experiment a scientist could ever conduct. My mom still talks about those days she “wasn’t here,” how she went to “find Dave” and how she was “called back.”  

So next time someone asks you to pray for them or a loved one, you can think of my Mother standing on the edge of this life and how she was guided back. Know that your prayer can be a powerful guide to help someone in need find their way. Prayers are heard and their effect is very, very real. This happened in the Summer of 2009. Mom is now home from Helen Hayes Rehab and is doing well, but we still appreciate any prayers that you have to offer.
