Summary: After I became a Christian, I wanted to know more and more about the Bible. When I read a story that Jesus told, I felt like He was talking directly to me! God was answering my prayers, and my faith was growing and growing. I realize now that I would soon need a strong faith to get me through some bad times.<br> By the time I was 27 years old, I had gone through ten surgeries. When I had my tenth surgery, I got an infection and was sick for a long time. Then the doctor said I needed another surgery. The pain was so bad that I finally agreed to the surgery. When I woke up after surgery, our minister was standing by my bed, praying for me. I knew then that I would be alright.<br> My faith grew through good times and bad times. God was always with me to help me, no matter what was happening in my life. Through all those times, prayer was a very important part of my life.<br> In our Bible Reading, James talks about the importance of prayer. Be sure to talk to God today.
