The power of prayer is undeniable. The Grace of God repeatedly illustrates how
God equipped us to carry His message of love during one of our nation’s
darkest times.
Fear had taken root in our hearts. Our ages and health
conditions felt like real disadvantages. We found comfort in Christian music,
so we shared it with our neighbors. Notecards to healthcare workers and
elderly shut-ins were warmly received, so we continued writing them and
encouraged others to do the same. Physical nourishment was needed as well, and
God provided a way for us to help there too. We prayed over every idea, and in
return, God blessed us with inspiration.
We learned that love is an action.
We learned that anyone can be
the hands and feet of our Lord.
We witnessed evidence of God’s
presence again and again.
Our hope is that these stories encourage you to persistently seek God through
prayer. His grace is unending.
About the Author
Tom Banwart spent most of his life in northern Illinois and graduated
summa cum laude from Trinity International University. A promising corporate
career was cut short when chronic health issues led him into permanent
long-term disability, reshaping both his priorities and his path.
Blessed with creative talents, Tom turned a simple woodburning hobby into a
small business and embraced the role of “Mr. Mom” to his three
sons, finding purpose and joy in the rhythms of family life.
Though he often sensed a calling to do God’s work, Tom pushed it aside
for many years. That changed in 2020. As the pandemic altered daily life and
stirred deep questions of faith, he found himself in honest, raw conversations
with Christ—dialogues that became a spiritual lifeline. Those
reflections and personal experiences evolved into writing, eventually forming
the foundation of his first book.
Today, Tom continues to use his creativity and vulnerability to encourage
others, sharing stories that point to God’s presence in every season,
especially the difficult ones.
