I sat last night and turned to my prayer journal to make some notes. I normally list in the back things people have ask me to pray for and the date on which they asked. It is a great way to remember those people and watch God's faithfulness. In the front I normally write a stream of consciousness prayer for what is on my heart. Last night I added a special prayer for a dear friend who has lots going on with her and her family. I have been praying for her family to surround her with positive love and support. Today this person pulled me aside and with tears in her eyes asked for help and prayers. She is dealing with problems with her health and yet she has no time to concentrate on that because her family is falling apart around her. She is so worried about everyone else. She has a strong faith and relies on God for all her concerns, He is always on her lips. I stood in front of her my heart breaking at the latest news and attempted to make sure she was aware if she did not take care of herself she could not help them. We talked I little bit more. I could feel Him there with us and He totally took over. The next thing I knew we were praying. I say we because it was my voice but His words. It was a beautiful moment and He had prepared me for it last night my placing her family on my heart and prayers. We talked about the victory in God on the other side of the current turmoil. God imparted to the two of us the reminder that He has seen the end and we will celebrate with Him when the time is of His will. I was reminded of Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord" I fear that she will continue to worry, but I wait for the Lord. I worry that I much like her will take on her needs as my own, but I wait for the Lord. Lord please strengthen us both prepare our hearts to wait for You.
