Pray for Families (An Unexpected Relationship)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Nothing is more exciting than to witness how the Lord goes to such lengths to seek each one of us out.  No matter where we are on our faith walk, He beckons to us to take a step closer.  It usually is through the kindness of others, that we feel His love, His touch, His encouragement.  Sometimes we sense He is personally calling to us.

Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening. 1 Samuel 3:9

Today I met a beautiful woman whose encounter with the Holy Spirit changed her heart forever.  She worked in the service industry.  She saw a large amount of tip money setting out unguarded.  She knew no one would know who took it.  Plus, it would help her make her car payment for which she didn’t have the money.   But she had recently encountered Christ, been changed by the presence of the Holy Spirit, and knew she was somehow different.  She now felt how wrong it would be to steal the money regardless of the reason.  She didn’t take it.  The next day, she made enough in tips to cover her car payment.

“Sow for yourselves justice, reap the reward of loyalty; Break up for yourselves a new field, for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rains justice upon you.” Hosea 10:12

How faithful the Lord is!  Let us pray for our family and loved ones, that each may be touched and changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  May their ears be open to His voice, their hearts be receptive to His love, and their minds be illumined by His light. May each one experience an intimate life-changing relationship with Christ. All glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit!  As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  AMEN!

The LORD, the LORD, a God gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love and fidelity, continuing his love for a thousand generations, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin.  Exodus 34:6-7

Peace, Joy, and Love,

He beckons you to His peace, multiplies your joy, and showers you with His everlasting Love. Rejoice and sing praises! Pass it on!
