Today, I would like to share my prayer request through my story.
This is the week before I leave to Muenster, Germany and so I decided to stay at my grandparents house to focus on resting and preparing for the conference. With the remainder of the week still ahead of me before I leave (Wednesday 8,12, 09) it has been a bumpy time these last few days. I couldn't help but wonder why? Why am I hearing discouraging news the week before I leave to the conference? Why has tension presented itself now? I asked the Lord..."I don't understand this?"
My conclusion: As I held closer to God's Word in hopes to be encouraged... I found the reason why this all might be happening. I say now to the Lord. I don't understand, but I know you can use it. I could reject Your help in this area and become bitter but I want Your wisdom. You provide comfort in ways that sometimes are difficult for us to see as "comfort", but the comfort we need which is from within, is the kind of comfort that is sent to us by the Holy Spirit. No! is what I say, I will have none of it-no sin. I will be the Lord's servant even in these times. The Lord is my strength. He leads me by streams of water and there I will receive His word "the Bible" and bring the Lord glory. The Lord rules over this time, Hallelujah! "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God...Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust,..." Psalm 40:1-4
"...the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4
