The Thunderstorm |

|
Our church was holding a series of outreach meetings in the community and were enjoying a good attendance night after night. On Sunday, about an hour before the meeting, a huge storm rolled up. Big angry clouds and wind, lightning and ground-shaking thunder.
The wind fell in sheets. I knew that with a storm like this, a lot of people would decide to stay home rather than go out in the elements. And that night's topic on knowing Christ was vital for them to hear. I'd been reading about prayer and how to claim God's promises, and decided to try what (to me) seemed like a really bold prayer request. I asked the Lord to stop the storm at 7 pm so everyone would be able to come out in safety. I knew nothing was too hard for Him, but it still felt rather brazen of me to request that He stop the storm at a particular time. I continued getting things ready to take to the meeting, and the storm howled all around outside. The lightning was particularly impressive (I love watching thunderstorms...from a safe vantage point, of course!) Suddenly all went quiet, as though a switch was flipped. The wind wasn't howling and the rain wasn't beating against the windows. The sky grew increasingly lighter and brighter. The storm was over as suddenly as it had come. And the clock on the wall read 7:00 pm.
