May 3, 2018 will forever be etched in my mind. It was the National Day of Prayer.
I remember getting up that morning asking God to make it a day of prayer for me. Since I'm home-
bound for a while after just getting out of the hospital, I didn't think I would have much opportunities to pray with individuals, but still I could have a full day of prayer at home.
Around lunch time Tex took me for a ride. He also had to make a stop at Foodland to pick up some groceries. I sat in the car playing a game on my phone, then realized I could be praying for the people around me. I began. Then I heard the prompting of the Holy Spirit. "Pray for the person who comes to the car next to you. My window was down so I had great access. Here comes this guy with an arm load of groceries, opens his door and I Freeze!! I can't do this. He gets in his car and drives away. Ugh. I feel so defeated but more so that I was disobedient.
Then another car drives in, this girl with long blonde hair gets out and I see Tex walking to the car so I know this is my last chance. I tell her "today is National Day of Prayer, do you mind if I pray for
you?" She says, Oh OK. We join hands and I pray over her. She thanks me and leaves.
My heart is racing - why? shouldn't it be easy to obey God?
