Tabitha in the Bible was a faithful disciple of Jesus. Acts 9:36-42 tells us that Tabitha (who was also known as Dorcas) was devoted to good works and charity. Just like Tabitha, so many of us are devoted to helping others. But, when we need help, who is there to help us? The story of Tabitha/Dorcas shows us that when we do as Jesus taught, we are his disciples and he hears our prayers.
