Now
I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,
to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me….
Romans
15:30
What
do you do when something awful happens in your life? What do you do if it is embarrassing? What if it makes you feel ashamed of yourself
and your family?
I
will tell you what I did when this happened – I hid out. I did not show my face anywhere including at
church. I was so worried about what
people would say or think that I shortchanged my friends at church by assuming
that they would accuse me or gossip about me or snub me, that I walked away
from the very people who wanted to comfort me.
I
denied myself the blessing of feeling loved and cared for and I denied my
friends the opportunity to bless me and my family with their prayers.
We
cannot control everything that happens in life, but we can trust God to send
people to help us through the hard times.
We just need to be open to receive the prayers and love that God will
send our way.
God
is there for us and God’s servants are there to minister to us. Be bold ask and receive prayers and comfort.
