I frequently see small crosses along the road in memory of people who have lost their lives in an accident at that location. This cross was erected for a different purpose I think. I pass it often and wonder what effect it might have on those who see it.

I hope it reminds people that God is always available to hear from them. He brings comfort and if one is willing to be patient and listen, he brings guidance. The hymn What a Friend We Have in Jesus comes to mind. People ask, how do I pray? My answer is to just talk to him. We can tell God anything and he will keep it private. He is understanding and if one gets in the habit of praying, a feeling of support and understanding is felt. I now look for the cross when I’m on that street. It reminds me that God is with me, always.

I enjoy reading people’s stories of miraculous healings. Miracles did not just occur in Biblical times. They occur today. We may see them through a medical discovery or as a a direct result of prayer. People have recovered from accidents and disease when they were told there was no hope. God never stopped listening and helping because someone never stopped praying.

President Trump being saved from an assassin’s bullet was indeed a miracle. He turned his head just in time. Why? God saved him. There is a scripture (Romans 8:31) If God is for us, who can be against us? I think that is true for each one of us. At Christmas we see the word Believe everywhere. I encourage people to believe now. Our world is in turmoil and I have found comfort in believing and trusting God. Give God a try! He loves you!
