Prayer

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel conflicted in your spirit about something-not really sure what-but conflicted somehow? You're more easily irritated with your spouse than normal, and in your head you feel legitimacy in being easily irritated because obviously HE'S the one in the wrong-not you....Well, that was me today. Not really sure why, until later this evening what might be causing this easy irritation. Prayer. Plain and simple. I have not had a decent conversation with my Savior at all today, until we headed to the church for a prayer meeting tonight. It's one of those times where your fighting all the way to church, and then you get there just to put your "happy" face on? Am I speaking to anyone right now? So we're headed to church for this prayer meeting for Carmen Stuart, an amazing-steadfast woman of God who has been battling pancreatic cancer for a little over a year now. She is such a beacon of light to those around her through a time in her life that would just be unbearable. But she knows Jesus. She talks with Him, walks with Him, and calls Him her own. That is why she is so radiant. And as I sobbed in a room full of people crying out to God for her healing-the Lord began to whisper in my ear "all I want is to walk with you, talk with you, and have your life be consumed with My goodness." Talk about being filled up! When you think of this life in an eternal perspective-God moves! He is SO GOOD. And the best part is that He understands our weaknesses-and wants to replace them with His strength. So-as you seek Him this day, I ask that you would say a little prayer for Carmen Stuart, her husband Scott, and their 3 kids as she goes in for a cat scan on Friday of this week. Our prayer is that God will bring complete healing to her body-for good. If we have faith, "as small as a mustard seed" He can move mountains in our lives. God Bless you as you finish up this week, and as you seek Him.
