Watch and pray

I have not posted in a while. My mother was ill and and in the hospital for a week. She reacted very badly to the medicine that she had been given. I firmly believe the only reason she is still with us is because of prayer. It reminded me of Jesus, Peter, Paul, and James in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus asked them to "watch and pray." They could not stay awake to pray. I felt like all I could do to help my mother was to pray and watch. Now, I get to give thanks for my answered prayers!
