Prayer

In the past 2 weeks I had 3 people, who are very dear to me, ask me to pray for them. These 3 people have laid so heavily on my heart, b/c when they asked there was such urgency in their asking. You could hear it in their voices & see it in their eyes. They wanted, needed their situation to be different. They knew the only way, was that God would intervene & change what needed to be changed. So of course I said I would pray, & I have!! I have prayed for them, their situation, & mostly that God would speak to them & reveal to them what they needed to hear & have from Him. So as I'm praying my heart is heavy, partly because I know the importance of these requests for each of them, then, just as if God was sitting right there on the porch w/ me, He reminded me of these verses. He spoke to me & reminded me of His love for these 3. He reminded me of the hope that's found in Him, of the plans He has for them. How sometimes we go through difficult times, but that if we are doing it through & w/ Him, these times can refine us, turn the lump of coal into a beautiful diamond!! How encouraging! How wonderful our God is. What great hope there is in Him. I'm so glad for these verses & the encouragement they gave to me. I pray they give you encouragement also. If you're praying about something for yourself or for someone else, always remember--God is here. He is available & He is taking care of us all!! Psalm 121:1&2- I lift my eyes to the mountains--where does my help come from? My help comes from The Lord; the Maker of heaven & earth. Psalm 121:3- He will not let your foot slip--he who watches over you will not slumber. Psalm 121:5a- The Lord watches over you...
