“Somebody Prayed”

Yesterday, I joined a group discussion about start-up clinics, hoping to gain some fresh insights into the process. As we waited for others to log on, the conversation turned light and personal. I mentioned that my son is getting married soon, and one of the ladies asked what song I had chosen for our mother-son dance. I told her, “Somebody Prayed” by Crowder. It had been a while since I listened to it, so I cranked it up this morning:

“So I hit my knees ‘cause I’ve Seen all Heaven move (don’t matter if you hit rock bottom My God pick you up when you call Him) I pray, “Father, please” ‘cause I’ve Seen what He can do (don’t matter if the storm cloud coming My God come through when you call Him) These hands have no power There ain’t an hour He don’t come through That’s why when mountains move, I say “Looks like somebody prayed”

When people ask, “Does God move because we pray? or Do we pray because God moved?” my answer is, simply, yes. He is in all things, and all things are for Him (Colossians 1:15-20).

You might be wondering why I’m writing about prayer on a private practice site. Well, because I can. I’ve wrestled with the fear of being reprimanded for talking about my faith at work, but the truth is, it’s a part of who I am. I’ve prayed with patients, shared Bible verses, and even recommended Christian books or songs when the moment felt right. Theology is my favorite subject, and since work is where I spend so much of my time, it only makes sense that faith naturally weaves its way into my conversations.

So, here’s to new beginnings and fearless faith. I pray that God will bless those who come through the doors of my practice. I pray that I will be a vessel for His good use. And who knows? Maybe I’ll be the somebody that prayed for you.
