Today was slightly better than yesterday... only slightly... I still blew off a couple people... I was just so tired and cranky because my brain stopped working 3/4's of the way through my last final. I was really struggling with my sanity, when my friend called. I only answered because I knew she would cheer me up.
Turns out she needed prayer. We talked for a little and each vented about our days (her's was worse - she got in a minor fender bender in her driveway). Obviously her back was hurting and she needed prayer. I knew it. Sad enough to say though... I didn't even want to pray for her and she is someone I love very much. Before we said goodbye though, I was able to press through my own negativity and ask if we could pray really quickly for her back. She responded like a real friend who knows and understands pure unadulterated exhaustion, "You don't have to." This is one of the things I love the most about her... she totally gets me and that is the exact same thing I would have said had the shoe been on the other foot! LOL
So we prayed... well, in my heart - not out loud - I begged Jesus in my whiny voice to touch her and heal her body. If you could've heard it ... it was pathetic! LOL Do you know what happened? God healed her. He took all that pain away right then. There was no joy, no happiness, no positive emotion, no feeling God's presence, not even any real faith at all... And He just healed her. He is so AMAZING! I never get tired of Him!
