I pray to angels
I spoke to Julie, a friend of mine, this morning who is an Occupational Therapist working with adults with mental health problems.
The clients live in houses, with a few people to each house, and 24-hour
care. One of the clients is a young man in his 20's who suffers pretty
severe paranoia.
Sarah has been taking him on outings with others as part of
her work.
One of the staff, a housekeeper, has known this particular client
a long time and had noticed a change in him. So she commented to Sarah that
she noticed his behavior had improved significantly and that he was helping
out with chores, which he did not normally do.
The housekeeper said to Julie:
"It's down to you taking him out"
Julie's reply was simple and straightforward:
"I think it's more to do with the fact that I have been praying for him".
To her surprise the house keeper then said to her:
"Don't think I am strange or anything, but I have not told this to
anyone...but I pray to angels."
Julie listened on:
"I have had a rough year with one thing and another and one night I saw
brightly light orbs at the bottom of my bed. I know they are angels"
Julie responded encouragingly with:
"That's great, because God sends angels to look after us. You can even
pray to Jesus who made the angels"
