REMEMBERING TO PRAY

Children tell God what they are genuinely thinking. They

are honest, simple, and direct. They understand that God is lis-

tening, and they understand that prayers are very important.

Somehow when we become adults, we forget how important

praying is. So if you and I are going to be like little children, we

must not forget our prayers.

Billy Graham came to Sacramento, the capital of Califor-

nia, [in 1996] to hold his crusade at the Arco Arena, just north

of downtown. The night before the crusade was to begin, choir

rehearsal went late. One of the members of the choir was driv-

ing home through downtown when he noticed a man slumped

over on the steps of the capitol building. It was cold outside,

almost midnight, and not the safest of places to be. The choir

member decided he could not ignore the plight of this poor,

homeless man. He was nervous as he approached the man, not

knowing what to expect. The homeless man was crouched al-

most cocoon like on the steps, and the choir member reached

out and gently touched his shoulder.

“Sir, can I help you?” he said. “Are you okay?” The man

looked up. It was Billy Graham. He was praying for the city of

Sacramento.

Billy Graham is famous. He has people all over the world

praying for him and his crusades, but he still knows where the

power of his crusades comes from: his moments praying with

his Savior. In this day of TV evangelists with their flashy

clothes, sophisticated fund-raising, limos, gold necklaces, and

Lear jets, it’s nice to know that one evangelist still trusts the si-

lent, unflashy power of prayer.

Billy Graham has not forgotten

to say his prayers. And neither

should we.
