Prayers for “S”

It’s not easy to find the courage to share FAITH. But the power of sharing our stories is speaking TRUTH that created the seed of faith. If you’ve lived through something unthinkable and received God’s unexplainable strength, provisions, healing and guidance in a true life story, there is no need to speak of faith. Faith is the SUBSTANCE of what you had hoped for and the very evidence that created the seed of faith you carry with you today.

I can’t help but share stories. It’s how we connect with others. And it just so happens that my favorite true-life stories are all tied to miracles – the events that defy logic and reasoning of the human mind. But they’re true stories. And that leads me into sharing my faith whether I intended to do so or not in the beginning.

Today I shared stories and prayed over a woman who is in a season of great transition. And I walked away not knowing what will come of this exchange but believing that God had a reason for us to meet and a seed that he wanted to plant in both of our hearts. So as I pick up the pen (or laptop) and say “yes” to sharing the true story of here and now, I lift my hands to the heavens and whisper, “Thy will be done.”

In my own hopes, I want to walk in the purpose God has placed in my heart, to see that the sacrifices I’ve made in moving thousands of miles away from my family and kids is for a good reason and I want to share the true stories that have inspired me in the past and enter my journey today. God never is finished with us and I know all things work for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. I also hope to have provisions made that give me the means to do this – to carry out the good news as it unfolds. Specifically, I’m praying and asking God to send the funds needed to support this show; HIS show. (Edit: I got a check exactly 2 days later to start making the prayer candles for distribution).

I don’t need an audience to pray, but I do want to document the asking on this day. God willing, I will soon be sharing his stories with many hearts who need hope and truth, as many shared their stories with me when I needed the same.

I start this by sending prayers tonight to Heaven asking for a miracle for my new friend “S”. I ask for her to receive a miracle so that she might believe and to open her heart to Jesus and the overflowing love of the one who saved her out of captivity and desires to bring her closer. I ask that all spirits not of the Lord be destroyed and casted down – revealed and made small as the One true savior is placed in his rightful place on the throne of her heart. I pray for love, truth and the way home to be made clear.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

PS: My daughter and I prayed this morning for “S” and then me and my friend Roger from Texas prayed together for “S”. Both of them tonight sent me pictures from Florida and Texas (both at 8:17) of the moon over the ocean. Yes, Jesus is working miracles for that woman in the sand.
