Dial a Prayer Page #2

exists in the kingdom of heaven

Um, it just doesn't,

so... uh...

um, I, uh...

Sorry.

That's fine. Okay, everybody,

let's just take a breather,

all right?

We have to get back

on active call duty anyways.

So, uh, Cora,

you take the lunch run.

The lunch run...

Please.

We will try again another

session later in the week.

Does that sound good?

MARY:

They are gonna love

you there...

once they figure out

how gifted you are.

I imagine you'll be

promoted or something.

I mean, opportunities come

in the least expected places,

they say.

Mom...

Listen, it's just us

for dinner tonight...

your father is switching planes

in Cleveland or something.

Oh, oh, my other

let me call you back.

Oh... sh*t.

Cora? Is that you?

Hey. Sorry if I woke you up.

I have the early-riser shift.

Did you just get here?

They said you needed

close monitoring.

Mom! I'm 26 years old,

I'm fine.

And I should... I should be

going, because I don't want to

get a demerit slip or anything.

You can't afford to make

a single mistake, Cora.

I want you to remember

something.

Every day is a beautiful

beginning.

Thy word is a lamb unto my feet

and a light unto my path.

Have a good day.

All sorts of things

are possible with God...

my name is .

I'm gonna pray with you.

Create in me a pure heart,

O God...

in my newest steadfast

spirit with me.

Restore to me the joy of your

salvation and grant me a

willing spirit to sustain me.

And yes, always remember,

in everything, God works good

for those who love Him.

The beauty of your creation,

in earth and sky...

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I can,

and the wisdom...

For hearts to love,

for hands to serve.

Breathe in faith.

Breathe out fear.

Where there is hatred,

let us sow love.

For all valiant seekers,

after truth, liberty...

Are you there? Speak up.

Now say it with me.

...make us instruments

of thy people.

I remembered you.

Be not frightened...

neither be dismayed,

for the Lord, your God

is with you.

Wherever you go...

Wherever you go...

Wherever you go...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Cora!

I gotta get out of here!

I'm sorry, we do not make our

own break schedules here.

I... I am through!

Not to mention that business

with the lunch run

was rather nasty...

I'm through& done!

Serena had to make a run

to Mick D's, of all places.

I can't...

this is bullshit.

I am not cut out

for this bullshit.

I don't deserve to be

in there with those freaks!

All right, that's enough.

Do I really have to remind you

why you're in there?

No.

Now I understand you may

be adjusting...

but this could go very quickly

go from a nice setup to one

that is not so great.

Isn't that true?

The charges against

you were steep.

We petitioned the court, so you

wouldn't have to do jail time.

Jail time. I want you to think

about that, would you?

And I am still meant to answer

to that judge, you know?

Now we are graciously,

so very graciously...

allowing you to repent

for your sin against us,

and Him, and the church.

Are we clear?

Yes, sir.

All right, you go home,

get your head together.

I'm gonna have to dock you for

today's hours and yesterday's,

too, for that matter.

And don't think you can just go

through the motions and get by.

It might do you some

good to actually partake.

Understood?

Yes.

Yes, Mrs. Koehler, I think

that's a great idea...

to commit to a daily devotional

while you work through this

time with your husband.

MRS. KOHLER He

told me he wouldn't do it again

if I gave him a third chance.

Really?

Well, then, I think you should

tell your husband to go to hell

Seriously... Mrs. Koehler?

WO Is there

anyway the check can come

in this week instead of next?

Well, rest assured we will

handle your prayer request

with care.

We are here to offer you

strength and hope...

but you should probably give up

on that check, ma'am.

I just keep

having these thoughts...

these bad thoughts

about other people.

Well, I'm told when you feel

the world growing small...

and yourself great,

read the 19th Psalm.

Yeah, does that even

make sense ?

The prayer for recovery...

could you do that one, please?

It really made a difference.

Yes, hold, please.

Got it, a prayer for help.

WO:

It has to be early admission

otherwise the whole plan...

Wait, wait, that's your SA score... and you're worried?

Um, I'll put in the prayer

request, Carrie, but I think

you're gonna be fine.

Keep the faith. Mm-hm.

Hey, hey.

Hey, busy day.

Prayer for strength?

Yeah... what?

Prayer for strength, I heard

you... I heard you with a

caller...

That daughter's marriage on the

rocks, something like that.

Uh-huh.

And you so clearly stated that

she needed prayer for strength.

And you offered it...

Right.

But you didn't circle it,

you see right here

on the prayer order form?

You circled the 37th Psalm,

Cora, that's like a totally

different area.

Did you realize

that you did that?

That's the opposite just about.

Jeffrey, everyone

has a mix up now and then.

Cora's been with us

just under a month.

No, no. 37th, I'm so sorry.

I must not have had

enough coffee.

Thanks, Jeff.

Jesus.

Finding your groove?

This is about as ungroovy

as you can get.

I don't know, I guess...

Answering the phone

is half of it.

I mean, don't quote me,

but most of these people

just want to be listened to.

If only it were that simple.

Well, I don't know,

maybe it is.

And don't worry about Jeff.

If he doesn't have one issue

a day to get overly anxious

about, it's not a day.

It's a bit of an understatement

I'd say.

Um, do you think I could go out

the side and go for a quick cig

It's Thursday, Bill's at judo.

Go for it.

Thanks.

Be back in ten.

Hi, excuse me.

Hi.

Uh, I don't know

if I'm in the right place.

Are you looking for Bill?

Do you start today

or something?

Uh, no.

You, uh...

What?

Do you answer the phone

in there?

Uh, yeah, I'm on a break.

I'm gonna go.

Sorry, sorry, I...

I've been driving all day.

Well, there's an IHOP

like three feet that way.

I'm looking for someone who

answers the phone in there.

Her name's Cora.

She's got the same voice.

I think you must be confused.

I don't think so.

I mean, it's you, right?

You're the one I spoke to.

My name is Chase. I called you

a couple of days ago.

You answered, you said

a prayer, it went away.

Uh, do you remember?

No, no, this isn't happening.

I mean, it was you, right?

I'm gonna go back...

You said... you said

a prayer for strength.

It was you. You answered.

You saved me.

Yes!

Free point!

I'm just not sure she's ready.

Was Jesus ready

when he parted the Red Sea?

Wasn't that Moses?

Jeff, you're missing the point.

The question is how are you

feeling? Do you feel

the need to guide?

Oh, she's been here a month and

she's clearly still struggling.

Well, exactly,

time's a wasting .

I don't know, I just think

maybe we should just give her

some more time in the light.
