Last night as I drove home from work, I was overwhelmed with a burden to pray for certain people in my family who I know are in deep and dire places. My heart fills with sadness thinking of the desperation of their lives and hearts. Where is the hope and the help? What more can I pray? With these thoughts swirling in my head a beautiful and timely song came on the radio. God is so good in giving life and breath to our prayers, even the ones we can't articulate.
Of course God wasn't finished yet...LOL I hear the ping of a text come through on my phone. Since it was late, I wondered who would be texting me at that time, so I glance to see who it was from. It was a pray chain message. When I got home I read the verses in it and at the end of the message it says: "PRAYER MATTERS." What a terrific confirmation for my heart cry forregarding the lives of those I love!! God hears. God cares. God has the answer. Prayer matters. Keep praying everyone!!
I will be going to a Bible teaching with my oldest dear friend this week. What a blessing. We will be hearing Angela Thomas speak on "Redeemed." I will not be posting Thursday, but know I will have lots to write about when I get back.
I pray for those in my family, those of my friends who have lost their way in life, who struggle and search for meaning. Lord help them to find Your hand. Keep them safe. I ask in the most powerful, only deliverer, Name of Jesus.
