I got the phone call
asking for prayer
and I didn't know what to say.
My heart was breaking for my friend,
as I felt so helpless because I couldn't
take away
~her pain
~her anxiety
~her grief.:
but she wasn't asking me to.
She asked me to
PRAY.
How can my words be enough?
Could GOD really overcome her with HIMSELF?
Doubt immediately took over,
as I was trusting in me and not to the
One whom we
PRAY.
It was a surreal moment,
as I know the truth ,
yet in that one moment
I became paralyzed.
A Blind Faith Moment~
Trusting GOD with the impossible (Hebrews 11:6)
PRAYER~
Confidence in HIM and not in me (Hebrews 4:16)
PRAYER~
Not my will but HIS be done (Luke 22:42)
PRAYER~
Total Surrender (I Peter 5:6)
PRAYER~
Leaning not on my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5)
So what was I waiting for?
It was time for me to get out of the way~
"HE must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less" (John 3:30)
And that I did~
I PRAYED~
The unscripted words flowed from my heart~
as I had no clue what I said.
Peace overcame me
&
Peace filled her heart as I heard it in her words.
PRAYER~
Just Ask HIM~
"...present your requests to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS (Philippians 4:7)
