994.0. "Empty Prayers?" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (God's rascal) Mon Nov 07 1994 13:20

A nation prayed for the safe return of Michael and Alex Smith of Union, South
Carolina.  As has been learned since, these two young children were apparently
dead even before any prayers could be issued.  Were these then empty prayers?

Shalom,
Richard

    Depends on who you pray to.  The prayers to the God of the Bible
    doesn't fall on deaf ears.

    I never said God was deaf to the prayers for the Smith children.
    The two boys were already dead.  Prayers for the boys' safe return
    were after the fact.
