I remember, back when I was a child growing up, a very happy boy gifted with the ability to play the piano like I never seen before. He had a wonderful mom that took him to church each week and he attended church school with me year after year. But we all knew he was different.
He went on to teach piano in his large apartment in N.Y. Since then I have only seen him once at campmeeting. His aunt however asked me to contact him, telling me of his lifestyle. He had been a friend of mine and I cared about his being ready for the Lord when He came. But through the years I have tried to find him. Then when I got a computer I tried even harder.... but to no avail.
The other day I got in contact with his brother in a way I had not expected. He told me that it was so sad what happened to him. With all he had going for him, he is now living on the streets of Chicago, a drug addict. He said he would give him my message to him, but he has not heard from him in 13 months.
I don't know what happened to this man, this friend of mine, this gifted musician. But I know he left God and satan took him from there. I am not real sure he ever really knew what it was to give his life to God, even though he was baptized. Please brothers and sisters, pray for him. His name is Dan, we called him Danny. I know that God answers prayers and can bring this man back to himself and back to God. I know there is a way, there is always a way through prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray today for Dan. I don't know where he is or what he is doing right now or what frame of mind he is in or how badly his phycial and Spiritual life has fallen, but You do dear Lord. Please Touch this fallen creature of Yours and make him whole Father. Bring him back to the truth of his youth and teach him again Your ways. Heal him in every way dear Lord is my prayer. I ask all in Jesus Holy Name and for His sake. That it may bring glory to your name. Amen
