Pray: Calm during the storm

My youngest son has epilepsy. Period..

My wife has referred to the seizures as storms of the brain. That said it is not an easy thing to see someone you know and love not in control of their body. Last night my son had a seizure. Again he has epilepsy, it is what it is. As my wife and I watch making sure our son was ?safe? all that could be done was pray. My wife told my 16 year old to have the other kids pray for my youngest. I am not sure if my 16 year old did as he was told but that is not the point here. The praying represented calm in the storm. And it was calm for those on the outside of the storm. The storm raged on for my youngest but on the outside there was calm in the storm as a result of prayer. Some of it was spoken aloud, some of it was internal just each of us and God. All of it was in an intercession for my youngest.

Was the epilepsy cured? beats me. I am sure that will mean I do not have sufficient faith to a group of ?believers?. Did the prayers have an effect on my youngest, beats me, only my youngest can tell for sure. Did the prayers force a calm to settle on what could have been a storm that revenged all of us? You bet they did. If we pray for no reason than Gods calming hand on us as we watch someone else?s world turn upside down then it has immediate value. I have faith that my God can do miracles. I also know that I have to lean on God for calm and understanding even if the miracles I desire are not provided. Thank you God for being the calm in the storm. It will be neat to see how you comfort my youngest in his storms.
