I Prayed, He Answered

How can we grow in our prayer life? One way is to learn from others. William L. Vaswig, Successful pastor, thought he knew how to pray. But when his eldest son, Philip, had to undergo psychiatric treatment for schizophrenia, Pastor Vaswig's prayers seemed to bounce off the ceiling. Out of frustration and desperation, he approached Agnes Sanford, a gifted woman who uses prayer for healing. Through Mrs. Sanford's prayers, Philip was dramatically healed. Mrs. Sanford led the author to reexamine his own prayer life. Though he prayed daily, he did not know the joy of "getting through." His orthodox theological training told him that God was not a cosmic errand boy to be used by demanding Christians. But God had healed his son. As Pastor Vaswig become more open to the laying on of hands, the healing of memories, contemplation, and other prayer methods, his life was revolutionized. His prayer ministry has brought faith and healing to thousands.
