It's a Wednesday night, and you don't know what to pray. Papua New Guinea, or New Zealand, or Spain seem so far away. So you pray again, "God please keep the missionaries safe. Protect and provide for them and give them wisdom." And God answers, but you often never know the intricacies of how God answers these seemingly general requests.
