Do you believe God answers prayers? By Gary Andrews [email protected]

I remember a story told many years ago to a church congregation about God answering prayers. The pastor was becoming disillusioned with the people because their ideas and ways seem to be splitting the church. He was asking for the people to pray and believe in what they were asking God to do.

The pastor told the story of a county suffering from drought and the crops were failing, the livestock was suffering immensely, and the town became unfriendly toward each other. The church called for all the townspeople to come together and pray for rain so that refreshing water would replenish the county with good crops, better livestock, and peace among the people.
