Does Prayer Really Work?

It has this week! 

A lot of people are praying for Hannah. Last Wednesday, even my team at work took time out of the morning to walk up the prayer hill and pray. 

For the last several weeks Hannah has been averaging about 10 seizures a day.  That changed this weekend. Here’s a chart that we use to track her seizures.  Notice the last several days…

We haven’t changed anything else.  No medication changes, no diet changes, nothing. Just prayer.  After hours without seizures this weekend, My wife and I found ourselves looking at each other and wondering aloud  ”What’s going on here?”

A lot of people are praying for Hannah, and what a powerful “coincidence” that is evident in that chart.  Will the number of her seizures continue to drop? Will God heal her?  I don’t know.  I know that he can, but I also know that there so much more to God’s will than I’ll ever understand.  For now I’ll just continue to pray for her healing, for a break from the barrage of seizures, and for wisdom to know what to do given the options we have available.
