It doesn't happen very often, but it happened tonight. Someone facebooked me for prayer... and I did not even know how to pray. I am not trying to sound haughty, but it was one of those times when I could feel how bad the person's heart was hurting and it took my breath away. My mouth hung open a minute and it was like someone had socked me in the stomach.
It wasn't so much what this person was asking prayer for ... it was the reason behind the asking that broke my heart - and I think it is safe to say it broke Jesus' too - even though I know that we have all been there.
She asked me to pray because she felt like God didn't hear her prayers because she wasn't good enough, but that surely God would hear my prayers. I know I have been in that place before myself, but for some reason it just really hit me tonight. So I did the only thing that I could do, I asked God what to say to her.
Like always, He was so sweet and kind and wonderful! He said to tell her how much He loves her and that He cares for her and wants good for her and that He will work it all together for the good of their whole family. I just love Him so much! I am so blessed to be able to get to be the person who got to tell this woman just how much God loved her!
