An Unusual Answer to a Mother’s Prayer

     Linda Jo Peters of Terre Haute, Indiana, felt her “worry button” get pushed when her daughter, Esther, called from college with an unexpected plan. Esther explained she wanted to go camping alone in a park in southern Illinois. She needed quiet time to think and asked her mother for Bible verses to read as she prayed about her future.
     Linda knew Esther felt strongly about going, even if it made her uneasy. After the call ended, Linda dropped to her knees and began what she later called “a dialogue with God.” She closed her prayer with a simple surrender: “I guess you want me on my knees that weekend.”
     And that is exactly where she stayed.
     The morning after Esther’s first night at camp, she called home. She was safe, she said, and no one had come near her tent. All night long, however, a skunk had wandered nearby, circling the campsite.
     Later, Linda reflected on the moment with quiet confidence. “There was no way anyone with evil intent would have approached Esther’s tent,” she wrote, “while the power of prayer, in the form of a black-and-white critter, was circling it.”
