WELCOME August 24, 1998 Issue

To Our Readers

Russ Gerber

Prayer is such an intimate experience. Just you and God.

You may be alone in the office when you pray, or surrounded by crowds in a shopping mall, and still your communion with God is the most private and sacred experience you can have.

But that's not to say that the focus of your prayers should always be "just you." The author of this week's Cover Story realized that to think only of herself and her family as being safe in God's care didn't take into account an expanded view: the fact that everyone, as a child of God, is safe under His control. After feeling frightened while sitting around a campfire in the African bush, and then praying for her family's safety, she thought, "God, good, is in control of me, and He is in control of all, now and forever."
