I pondered about starting a new thread so more of those that are praying for Mr. Pack would see it; or just leave it here. I decided to just leave it here as the word will spread. This is about the power of prayer through change in the way we pray. The bible calls this the inconvenience of prayer.

I had been praying for a friend for many days and nights with no results; so I decided to go see a old fishing friend that was a Pastor for 70 years. We talked and this is what he told me about Prayer and explained that his success in prayer comes from the following passage. Luke 11:5-12. If a man will inconvenience himself to provide for a needy friend, God will provide for our needs far more, since no request is an inconvenience to Him. The promise is not that we will receive whatever we ask if we just keep asking. God’s promise to His children is a promise to meet our needs, not our wants. And He knows our needs better than we do. The same promise is reiterated in Matthew 7:7-11 and in Luke 11:13, where the “good gift” is further explained to be the Holy Spirit.

I truly believe that this Pastor had more prayers answered than any other man alive and said it was done by simply changing things up.
- Where do you pray, he ask. I pray each night when I go to bed. Inconvenience yourself and kneel beside your bed to pray tonight.
- Pick a beautiful place outside to pray. Inconvenience yourself and make that walk in the dark to this beautiful spot like the flower garden or the far edge of your property.
- Pray during the day not just at bedtime. Inconvenience yourself to get away from others and go to that secluded beautiful spot like a river or lakeshore.
- One of the Pastor's favorite places to pray was setting in the window of the hayloft overlooking fields and all the farm animals; which was a great inconvenience for this 90 year old man to get up there.

The Pastor and I have prayed together many times out on the water. He always had a prayer list a mile long. Inconvenience yourself the next time you are on the water and say a prayer for Mark and all those that needs God's Healing Hand to touch them.

Prayers for Mark and Family... Hang in there Mark !!!

Continued prayer!

For those of you on this thread who have not heard, Mark passed away peacefully today. My buddy and I would go twice a year with Mark...once in the summer, and once in the fall every year. He is the best guide I have ever used. Our last trip with him was the Monday before thanksgiving, and he took us way into the back of birch creek to do some flippin...it was an amazing trip, one I will never forget....I just wish I could fish with him one more time. Rest In Peace my friend. 😢😢😢

Sorry to hear that he has passed... never got a chance to fish with him but have used his M-Pack jigs for years. Bought some more at bass pro just a few days ago come to think of it.

Peace and prayers for his family...

So sorry. What a great loss for the Fork community.

Prayers to the family and all friends.

God has a special place for him as he awaits his loving Family!

A great person may He RIP
He will be missed by many.
Praying for him and family.

Never had the honor to meet Mark Pack. The out pouring of Prayers and Support form the countless members of the TFF speaks what kind of man Mark Pack was. Prayers for his family and friends. The Lord Jesus Christ has control.

Prayers for Marks family and friends.

R.I.P. Mark. As believer's we know that God heals all, the sad part is we don't always get to see it. Prayers for the family and friends.

Such sad news.
RIP Mark Pack.

RIP Mark. You will be missed.

Prayers for the Pack family to get through this extremely difficult time.

RIP.
