Power of Prayer

"I never knew Justice, until I found Freedom. And I never knew freedom, until He threw my sins away. And I never knew Love, until I found Jesus. And I couldn't find Jesus, until He found me first. Yeah He found me..." Amber Brooks



     A week ago today, I was walking out my door and fell on some icy steps. I hit my back so hard it was a struggle for me to even breath. All last week I was walking like a crippled person. In soo much pain it was unbearable! Many of you know that I teach in Kidz Zone, at the church here in ME. In our small groups we always gather at the end of the service and I pray a blessing over the girls, and we share any prayer requests we may have. I shared with them about my back and asked if any of them would like to pray for me...they all were very eager too! Alot of the prayers went like this "Lord I thank you for Alyssa and I ask that you would just heal her back because I know she is in a lot of pain and it's not good for her" but my favoirte was this " Lord I thank you for Alyssa and I just ask that you would heal her, because when she does not feel well she is very grumpy and we DO NOT like it when Alyssa is grumpy, and you don't either. Amen" I almost laughed out loud....but how true is that? When we are injured or not feeling well we let the littlest thing get to us!! My girls knew that and prayer for me :) God is soo GOOD!!

This morning I woke up, took in a deep breath and there was NO pain...in my head I was thinking "are you serious?" I didn't believe that I was healed so I stood up, did some stretches and all my pain was gone!! God is sooo good! The power of prayer does work and the Lord desires to heal us! No matter how small or big it may be!! Bringing you fears, frustrations, sickness, diesease, financial probles to the Lord and liting them up in prayer will change your life. I dare you to try it!

Happy Love Day Everyone!

Be Blessed
