| Sheila Walsh: We Serve a God of Miracles | 5 Minutes With Jesus | May 28, 2026
- I don't know what you
- 00:00:00.323 --> 00:00:01.357
- Need right now, but the good news is god does.
- 00:00:01.357 --> 00:00:04.761
- We can come to him with faith like a child,
- 00:00:04.761 --> 00:00:07.564
- And know that he hears and answers
- 00:00:07.564 --> 00:00:10.700
- Our prayers.
- 00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:15.505
- One of my favorite things to do as a teenager was to listen
- 00:00:16.706 --> 00:00:19.809
- To the stories of the missionaries
- 00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:21.177
- When they came home and what was called furlough.
- 00:00:21.177 --> 00:00:24.080
- But basically it was unpaid leave for them to come home
- 00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:27.150
- And raise enough money to go back.
- 00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:29.652
- It always seemed so wrong to me.
- 00:00:29.652 --> 00:00:32.155
- It felt as if they had to somehow
- 00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:33.590
- Justify their calling rather than simply live in it.
- 00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:37.794
- Well, one of my absolute favorites
- 00:00:37.794 --> 00:00:39.596
- To listen to was doctor helen rose, a missionary
- 00:00:39.596 --> 00:00:43.066
- From ireland that she was serving in africa.
- 00:00:43.066 --> 00:00:46.102
- Well, during the day she served the community as a doctor,
- 00:00:46.102 --> 00:00:48.705
- But at night she often worked in a brick factory
- 00:00:48.705 --> 00:00:51.908
- To get to know the people.
- 00:00:51.908 --> 00:00:53.710
- Well, she tells the story in one of her books,
- 00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:55.879
- And in fact,
- 00:00:55.879 --> 00:00:57.080
- There's a children's book by katherine mackenzie called
- 00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:59.549
- What's in the parcel
- 00:00:59.549 --> 00:01:00.984
- That tells the story so that children will understand
- 00:01:00.984 --> 00:01:04.220
- That god answers prayer and miracles are possible.
- 00:01:04.220 --> 00:01:09.159
- I'd love to share a part of the story with you
- 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.694
- As doctor roseville remembers it in her book, living faith.
- 00:01:11.694 --> 00:01:16.099
- This is her story in her own words.
- 00:01:16.099 --> 00:04:54.617
- I don't know what you
- 00:04:55.118 --> 00:04:56.152
- Need right now, but the good news is god does.
- 00:04:56.152 --> 00:04:59.555
- We can come to him with faith like a child,
- 00:04:59.555 --> 00:05:02.358
- And know that he hears and answers our prayers.
- 00:05:02.358 --> 00:05:06.863
- Let's pray.
- 00:05:07.196 --> 00:05:09.432
- Lord, thank you for the stories
- 00:05:09.432 --> 00:05:10.833
- We have of your amazing sons and daughters
- 00:05:10.833 --> 00:05:14.670
- Who've experienced your miracles throughout this earth.
- 00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:18.875
- Lord, i want to thank you for the faith of a child
- 00:05:18.875 --> 00:05:21.277
- Who prayed simply and bluntly.
- 00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:23.312
- Please send this and please send it this afternoon.
- 00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:26.516
- But i think as we get older,
- 00:05:27.083 --> 00:05:29.485
- We become not so bold in our prayer life.
- 00:05:29.485 --> 00:05:32.155
- But we want to change.
- 00:05:32.155 --> 00:05:33.723
- Help us to have the faith and confidence of a child
- 00:05:33.723 --> 00:05:37.427
- To come to you with all our needs in faith,
- 00:05:37.427 --> 00:05:40.530
- Believing that you are a god who hears and answers prayer
- 00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:45.168
- Because we bring it in jesus name.
- 00:05:45.935 --> 00:05:49.138
- Amen.
- 00:05:49.138 --> 00:05:49.138
