Big Guns

A few days ago CBN returned to my home to spend another day shooting. This time, Senior Reporter Gailon Totheroh is preparing a story for Good Friday, and so he wanted to do another interview with me, this time stressing the celestial events of the Crucifixion. Gailon and I have become friends, and so he can ask simply and sincerely when he needs prayer. He has asked now.

It's always difficult to take hours of material and reduce it to five minutes that makes some kind of sense. And Gailon is feeling that tension as he works. He asked me to pray, and I decided to bring in the Big Guns. That's you people. God *plainly* and repeatedly responds to the joint prayers of this group. You are precious to me, but even more precious to Him.

If you have time, please join me in prayer.

"Father, we all need your guidance. Does that sound as empty to you as it often does to us when we say it? Most of us seek your guidance constantly. It is almost a refrain in our prayers. Please do not let this request become stale in our mouths. Please do not tire of hearing our cries! We want nothing more than to find ourselves in the very center of your will for us, Lord. When we sense we are there, we feel a satisfaction and elation that is the best of life on this Earth. Yet, we don't always feel it. It is hard to know exactly what you would have us do each day. It is hard being completely open to your guidance. Sometimes we wish that you would speak from the sky, as you did of old. Make your paths plain to us, Lord! We SO need you. We SO long to walk as you desire. And Lord, your child Gailon needs your guiding hand right now. Will you answer his prayer for guidance? Will you please write this story through him for YOUR OWN glory? Act into the world through us and through Gailon this day. Thank you our God. Our Father. We pray these things in Jesus' name, amen."
