Power of prayer

Tonight we had family home evening given by Connor. He has been begging for the last week and a half to be able to give his family home evening. He asked Isaac to say the opening prayer. Now, for the last couple of days I haven't been able to extend my neck. I woke up the other day with a stiff neck. It hurt so bad to try and look up. I had been taking tons of ibuprofen and using a heated rice bag to help it, but they didn't help much. Anyway, today I had only done the rice bag, and it was still hurting. When Isaac was saying his prayer he asked for a blessing on Kiley, so that she could get over her cough, and on me, so that my neck would not hurt any more. We had the lesson given by Connor. He taught us about the angle Moroni coming to Joseph Smith and telling him about the golden plates. He did a great job! Anyway, we were all done with the lesson and Cordell asked me how my neck was. I had been babying it for so long I was nervous to see. I started to look up and to my surprise and relief, I was able to extend my head all the way back and look at the ceiling! I told Cordell that Isaac's prayer worked. Isaac came downstairs as I was leaving to go to work. I told him that his prayer had worked and my neck didn't hurt anymore. I showed him that I could look all the way up at the ceiling. He looked surprised and very happy at the same time. I told him thank you for the prayer. I am so thankful for the power of prayer and that Isaac was able to witness, that with a sincere heart and intent, The Lord does hear and answer our prayers.
