Day 194
When you see a family fighting at WalMart do you watch them as if you would a soap opera? Or do you lift them up in prayer knowing that there are no coincidences and you are there for a reason. We are undercover agents bringing people back to their maker. "In the name of Jesus, please dear Lord bring an understanding to this family as to what would really make them happy. Help them understand what is at the root of their fighting. Please help them to turn to you."
Have you been witness to a situation where you can smell trouble? You can almost see it playing out. Do you watch this like you would a dramatic movie? Or do you ask God to help them avoid the pitfalls you see them headed towards. "Dear Jesus, you know exactly what is going on. Would you please help them to avoid this train wreck."
Have you wept as you felt someone's pain before they even experienced it? It was as if you were transported twenty years down the road to their tumultuous emotional future. Or do you think you are just being overly dramatic? "Dear Jesus, I do not know what I am experiencing, but I pray that this person learns to know you on a deeper level."
As a believer, every experience matters. We have the privilege of being involved in many different people's lives, some we might see but will never meet this side of heaven. Are you willing to be part of this adventure and every time you feel nudged, go to prayer. Going to the store, filling up your gas tank, talking with a telemarketer becomes purposeful. This is what it is all about. We have the privilege of tapping into the most powerful energy source - God's throne room!
Amen and something to remember more often
