A young man, who was not a Christia\n and knew nothing of prayer, had been on a torpedoed ship during World War II. All on board were thrust out into the water to swim for their lives.Twelve of the boys kept together. Horrified, they saw a lake of burning oil coming toward them. It was impossible to escape.Just then, the only Christian in the group began to pray aloud. It was the heart cry of one in dire need to the God of mercy whom he knew. “O God, save us! O God, save us! O God, save us!”Soon the other eleven, who had never known or thought about God, followed aloud with, “Please God! Please God!”Immediately the flaming oil parted, leaving a clear, wide path directly in front of them. Right in the middle of their cleared path, God provided a raft for them to survive on.The lad, who told the story ended with, “And no one can persuade those boys that God does not hear prayer.” Wise Words:“Pray without ceasing, because Satan is preying without ceasing.”
