REGARDING the recovery of Lewis Yates, of Helmshore, following his accident, your editorial asked if prayer pulled him through. There is no doubt at all that it did.
As a Christian for almost 40 years, I have strongly believed in the power of prayer and have seen evidence that this has been answered. Situations that have appeared hopeless have been completely turned around -- through the power of prayer.
The church which I attend, Trinity Baptist, Bacup, has had monthly healing services for almost 20 years, along with weekly and monthly prayer meetings.
With God all things are possible. He always answers prayer -- sometimes not in the way we might expect. Those who would ridicule might just care to give prayer a try, who knows? God does. He knows all our needs and is the greatest friend we will ever have.
PETER HINDLE, Walton Close, Britannia, Bacup.
