Situations

I haven't posted in several days. Don't get me wrong I've wanted to, but for whatever reason, I did not feel as if I could. These are a few of the things that have been occupying my heart since Friday:

Hurricanes, cancer, epilepsy, crohn's, suicide, divorce, abuse, financial distress....

These are all things that are on my prayer list. Some were added in the last day or two.

Each one of those words represents a person and/or a family I care deeply about. When I think of these words, a face pops into my mind. A few of those faces wake me up in the night.

With everything in me I want to "do" something. Something that my human hearts says is more than praying. I feel helpless because there are somethings I just can't fix.

You probably "got" this concept a long time ago but, I'm a slow learner! (My parents will verify this!) When we pray we tap into power and resources we can't begin to understand. I wonder if we will ever really understand just how powerful our prayers are?!! Why do downplay prayer? Why do we act as if it's the last thing we can do? It's the BEST thing we can do!!

So tonight as I look at all those situations and see those faces affected by these life altering circumstances, I am thanking God for being God. I'm thanking Him for loving and caring for each person as if they were the only one on the planet.

He is able. He can handle it. He is it. And I am humbled that the great I AM hears me when I talk to Him. He HEARS ME!! He HEARS YOU!
