Praying For Grandma

Source (Walking with Jesus, One step at a Time)

"Mrs.Price, can we pray for my grandma again?" Penny asked her Sunday School teacher.

"Not again!" groaned the boy sitting beside Penny. " We pray for your grandma every week."

Tears sprang to Penny's eyes. " But my grandma isn't saved yet. I love her, and I want her to go to Heaven."
Every Sunday that year, Penny asked her Sunday School class to pray for her grandmother.
One Sunday, Penny told the students, "My grandma is in the hospital. Please pray that she'll ask Jesus into her life before she dies."

That week Penny asked her father, "Daddy, can we please go visit Grandma on Saturday? I have to talk to her about Jesus one more time. I just know God will answer my prayers."

At the hospital, Penny held her grandma's hand. " I love you, Grandma. I want to see you someday in Heaven."
Grandma hugged Penny and smiled. " You will, dear child. All week I've thought about the things you've told me about God's love and forgiveness. Last night, I prayed and accepted Jesus as my Savior."

The next week in Sunday School, Penny raised her hand at the prayer request time. A girl next to Penny sighed. " We know what you want. More prayer for your grandma again." Penny smiled. "No. I want us to thank God for answering all of our prayers! Grandma became a Christian last week. She died yesterday. And now she's in Heaven with Jesus!"

¹⁶Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (James 5:16) "NIV"

⁹"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ¹⁰For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-10) "NIV"

Question question question: Have you ever quit praying when God didn't answer right away?
