Peace with God

Recently my family was torn in all different directions. We were filled with anger over a situation that could have changed our whole family structure. At first, our flesh wanted to battle, and it did. We battled everyone who was the cause of the anger, each other ,and we battled within ourselves. I was so filled with the darkness of my pain, that I shut God out. I gave into it. This went on for weeks. Then Sunday, before last, when I went to church, I couldn’t sing and worship God as I love to do. I couldn’t pray. I couldn’t think. I felt trapped and I fought leaving. Then in the middle of worship a hand reached out and grabbed me, and a voice said ,”God’s telling me to pray for you now! ” We walked out of the sanctuary, and she prayed over me. As she spoke God’s Truth over me, my heart began to soften, and I could breath a little better. Over the next few days I listened to what God wanted to tell me, and I said yes to His Will in all our lives. I agreed to things that even as the words would come from my mouth, I was amazed that I was saying them! Our family came together in agreement, and there is peace in decisions that had to made. There is a battle going on in the world today, but we, the children of God, are equipped with His Truth in His Word and in our obedience He Will call us Home with Him one day.
One more thing. Yesterday I ask God for a verse. I went to my e-mail, which I hadn’t been on in a week. I had 2 e-mails blessing me with the same verse, Isaiah 26:3-4, and they were sent days before I even ask God for them! Oh, and when you KNOW The Holy Spirit wants you to pray for someone, DO IT! I thank that friend who said yes, and prayed over me.
In His Name,
Mary

What a beautiful example of how God is intimately involved in our lives Mary. That He would choose to speak directly into your life exactly how He knew you needed it!! THanks for sharing and for that great reminder!!
