Hallelujah!

Prayer is powerful.  Ask the Chilean miners and they would agree.  I found myself interceding on their behalf from halfway across the globe as I watched the rescue operation commence live on CNN.  Now eight hours later, nine miners have already returned to the surface and the rescue team is not wasting any time to retrieve the others.  What a miracle-- from Day 1, with the flight of a white butterfly 2,300 ft beneath the earth's surface to Day 17, when the miners received supplies and began communicating with those on the ground... from the development of "Plan B" to the ongoing rescue of 24 more miners...  I truly believe that all this is the result of faith and prayer.  Thank you Lord for giving the rescue workers wisdom.  Thank you Lord for keeping all the miners alive.  Thank God that the mission has progressed ahead of schedule.  Continue to pray that no technical difficulties or unforeseen circumstances will interfere with rest of the operation.  ALL men will be hoisted back to safety.  Amen!
