Morton Presbyterian Church

While others were caught up in arguing about the situation, the anguished father of a boy with uncontrollable seizures poured out his heart to Jesus. He showed more faith than all the arguers. He even trusted Jesus with his lack of trust. When evil spirits seem to rule the day, and answers to desperate situations aren’t forthcoming, we can follow the father’s lead in raw prayer. We may then be given the wisdom and will to do what we can do. Our inability to do anything in response to the epidemic of gun violence in the United States is a case in point. An evil spirit is driving the violence and paralyzing an effective response.
