What Does a Prayer Weigh?
A poorly dressed lady walked into the grocery store. She looked defeated. She approached the owner and humbly asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. She quietly explained that her husband was very sick and unable to work. They had seven children and they needed food. The owner scoffed at her and asked her to leave the store.
Still thinking about her family’s needs, she said, “Please sir, I will bring you the money as soon as I can”. The owner told her he couldn’t give her credit because she didn’t have an account at his store. Another customer standing nearby stepped up and said he would get whatever she needed for her family.
Reluctantly, the owner asked, “Do you have a grocery list?” “Yes, sir,” the lady replied. “Okay” he said, “put your grocery list on the scales and whatever this list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.” The lady hesitated, bowing her head. Then she reached into her purse, took out a piece of paper, wrote on it and laid it on the scale, her head still bowed.
The eyes of the owner and the other customer went wide with amazement. The scales went down and stayed down. The owner said, “I can’t believe it.” The customer smiled as the owner started putting groceries on the other side of the scales. The scales didn’t balance so he continued adding more and more groceries until the scale couldn’t hold anymore.
The owner stood there in disgust. Finally, he grabbed the paper from the scales and looked at it in amazement. It was not a grocery list. It was a prayer that read: “Dear Lord: You know my needs. I leave this in Your hands.” The owner gave her the groceries he had gathered and stood in silence. Sometime later, he discovered the scales were broken.
Only God knows how much a prayer weighs. Never underestimate the power of prayer.
