The faith of a child


3 year old Dorcas had been sick for 5 days. Her mother, Margaret, was going to take Dorcas to the clinic because she was not getting any better. She had a very high fever, was vomiting, felt horrible, and it being malaria season you can't be too careful. But little Dorcas asked her mother to take her to the church so they could pray for her. She knew that if she could go to the church someone there would pray for her, God would hear and listen to those prayers, and she would get better. So on Thursday afternoon, Margaret brought Dorcas to the church where Colin and another man just happened to be. They had the opportunity to pray for Dorcas. That night Dorcas' condition worsened but Margaret felt confident God was in the process of healing her daughter. Her faith had been strengthened by her daughter's.  She was right, and by the next morning Dorcas was fine. Through this event my faith in God as healer has been strengthened.
