The Power of Suffering

Kelly Wallace: I remember visiting a family in a hospital and one of their children was sick. And we prayed with them and left and later on, after she was well, I asked them just how they were. One of the things they mentioned was something very similar to what you said - that people were able to pray the words that we couldn't pray. There's something powerful about that.Wallace: In our culture, we're so independent and individualistic that suffering and desperation helps situate us as human again. It reminds me of a story.
