Zina called me as I was leaving the shops, my hands were full and I struggled with the phone resting between my shoulder and my ear because I had forgotten my ear pods in the car. I really wanted to speak to her though. After my chat with God about who should pray for me it really was laid in my heart to reach out to people. She is really someone I can trust; well, I think I can trust her; after all, we’ve been friends since we were youngsters. We’ve been through so many things together -she feels like family now and more importantly, she loves God and I know she cares.
But what was even more important was that I heard it in my heart, – ‘Speak to Zina and Pastor Matthew about praying with you and for you’. I honestly asked the Lord why I couldn’t do it myself, I mean , I don’t really want people in my business, but suddenly I remembered that sermon that was preached last year- ‘Pray for Me’ and the scriptures where Paul was asking for prayer from the Ephesians, Colossians and Thessalonians kind of flashed in front of me almost like a scroll.
Well, if it was good enough for Paul, then why shouldn’t I ask for intercession and prayer to be made on my behalf? After all, two are better than one. I felt so happy too when I remembered that The Holy Spirit Himself makes intercessions for me when I pray in the Spirit .
Anyway, I didn’t get around to asking her. She was telling me about her cousin being pregnant; Carrie was hoping to become a youth leader, she’s just 19 , had plans to get into university and I can’t recall attending her wedding….
Zina asked me what I thought about it all, Carrie feels so condemned and confused and the family asked Zina in desperation what they should do .
I said I’d call her back once I had the shopping out of my hands…………
What do you think?
