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,
and her grief.
But she wasn't asking me to take away anything.
She asked me to
PRAY.
How could my words be enough?
Doubt immediately took over,
as I was trusting in me and not in the
ONE whom we
PRAY.
Could GOD really do something in her BROKENNESS?
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 WILL 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.
As unscripted words flowed from my heart,
HIS PEACE overcame me
&
HIS PEACE filled her heart as I heard it in her words.
Oh the POWER OF PRAYER
"...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)
What is on your HEART?
"JUST KEEP PRAYING"
