Although it is not a story based upon real events that actually happened, the point of the story is clear; God hears and answers prayers!
There is so much division going on in the body of Christ today. We should be people who stand up for the truth, and who are filled with God's love and the desire to make His name known wherever we live. The Bible tells us that if we humble ourselves and seek Him, and turn from our sins, God will hear us and heal our land. I think that a big problem in the church today is unbelief. We simply do not believe God will do good things for us and help us. Many have given us a structured layout for what they think will happen in our country and world today, and it is not pretty. It is filled with hopelessness and fatalism. Many professing Christians are like the Deists. They believe God is somewhere out there, but He is distant from us. Nothing could be further from the truth. Because we are hopeless and fatalistic, we do not bother with praying for change in our nation. We do not want to get involved in social issues and by ignoring them, we are letting the world around us crumble.
Yes, there will come a day when all things as we know them will come to an end. But the power that God gives us when He gave us authority over the enemy, and the command to dominate the world, we have ignored. Or, if we have paid attention to it, we use God's blessings on ourselves instead of serving others with those blessings and turning them back to praise for His name. So we err on both ends of the spectrum. Maybe we never saw the middle part where God calls us to serve Him, but also provides the power to do so.
Anyway, if you want to be motivated to pray, I would recommend watching this movie. Prayer is to be an active part of our every day lives. It is the result of our faith in action. And if you are not motivated to pray, ask God to change your heart!
