For this anon, yes. My empathy level is off the charts. Yesterday a little finch hit my patio door and was laid out on the recycle bin nearby. I saw he was still breathing so my dad went and put him safely on the ground as I paced and prayed. My kid anon was like, anon for a bird?? Finally it came to after about a half hour and flew off after I basically begged God to help the little guy.
Concentrating on the prayer certainly helps. As I told everyone, I was praying like I meant it. I'm glad he lived, poor thing is probably a little touched though.
