Walking in Forgiveness With Corrie Ten Boomনমুনা

Walking in Prayer

Once, when I was at Ravensbruck, a quarrel was going on in the room. A Polish woman and a Belgian were lying together on a cot 27.5 inches wide. Is it any wonder that conflicts arose? The women were screaming at each other, fighting and trying to throw each other off the bed. Others meddled in the quarrel, and the shouting grew louder.

Betsie, my sister, seized my arm. "We must pray, Corrie; only the Lord can help us." And then she prayed, "Lord, remove this spirit of contention from the room. It is too strong for these poor people. They are so unhappy and so irritated. But Thou art the conqueror. Let Thy grace touch the hearts of these women. Let Thy Spirit fill our souls."

Like a storm that is stilled, the voices subsided; a cry or two, and all was quiet. How great is the power of prayer! When we expect much from the Lord, He gives us much.
