Intercession......

Last night, a group gathered together in our home to intercede on behalf of friends who are going through a VERY difficult time. My mind can't even begin to fathom the horror of losing a child and it has been difficult to concentrate on much of anything. God was with us last night - He says that where two or more are gathered, He will be there. He also tells us that He hears our prayers. We spent time last night just crying out to our God, and He was THERE and He HEARD us. The burden seemed so unbearably heavy last night, and while it continues to be heavy it seems easier to bear in light of God's mercy, grace, peace, and healing. I know that they felt our prayers last night, because God is faithful and will not leave us. We are the ones who leave him - how very sad and frightening.

We serve a mighty, and powerful God who will, when we call on His name, 'tell us marvelous and wonderful things that we could NEVER figure out on our own' .... Jer 33:3 (Msg) Isn't it amazing that He would even be willing to share those things with us - and all we have to do is call His name!

God - I am calling on Your name - Sweet Jesus - crying out to you, begging you for understanding. And I thank you for answering with love, grace, healing, and mercy. I love you God, and I thank you for providing. Humble me God, and use me, as a very willing vessel for your glory.
