In the Bible, we see the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities so evil that God Himself came down and looked to see for Himself. On the way He encountered Abraham who begged God not to destroy the righteous people with the wicked, even if there were only ten righteous. God agreed.
However there were not even ten. Only Abraham’s relatives, Lot and family, were righteous. So the cities were to be destroyed. But in His mercy, he remembered the cry of Abraham for the righteous and rescued Lot and his family before the destruction. The Bible records,
“So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.” (Genesis 19:29)
You may wonder if your prayer is honored by God. Will He hear and answer? If you have a lost loved one and seek God on their behalf, remember this scripture, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved…and thy house.” (Acts 16:31) I have stood on that scripture for years and seen lost loved ones come to the Lord. Even if I was not the one who lead them, I believed in the truth of Gods’ word and as I prayed I reminded Him of the scripture. And wouldn’t you know, that God remembered. You may not even see it, but the word is truth, so it will happen. Don’t worry that it seems impossible. God specializes in the impossible. He will remember.
