Restored Ground and Renewed Hope
Today was another great day! Tom and I spent the morning together with the Lord and reconnected some more. God is so good! I know that the prayer from Friday night had a lot to do with this. We feel like we are gaining back some of the ground we had lost.
Another cool thing is that the tire is holding air now! NL prayed and God answered :) Also, Tom looked up online the situation with our camera and found out that there is a recall on this problem, and Canon will repair it for FREE! Thank you, Jesus! Now, all that still needs a resolution is Tom’s teeth. I know our God is faithful to answer all prayers in His perfect way and timing.
I had lunch with KK today, and during the lunch we discussed the logistics of us staying at her house while she is gone. The cool and interesting part is that she had already made arrangements for her dog to stay at someone else’s house, so we won’t need to worry about staying the night there every night. That really helps, because the other two houses required that we spend the night because of the animals. So now it simplifies the logistics of it all. We could have done it, but we would have had to sleep in two separate places—and now we don’t! Another big thank you to the Lord! :)
We really enjoyed going to B and L’s tonight! It was great seeing everyone again, and we got involved in a conversation with a couple of ladies who are struggling in their marriages. We stayed and talked with them the whole night. God was there in a big way—guiding and directing the conversation, the people who joined in, and what was said. They walked away feeling so much lighter and freer, yet burdened for their husbands in a different way! It was so cool to watch God work in such a wonderful way.
Lord, thank you so much for your Holy Spirit that guides and directs healing and freedom for your children! I pray that these ladies will go home and seek your face, continuing down this path of healing for their marriages.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
—2 Corinthians 3:17
Power of a Praying Wife prayer:
Lord, I pray for Your healing touch on Tom. Make every part of his body function the way You designed it to. Wherever there is anything out of balance, set it in perfect working order. Heal him of any disease, illness, injury, infirmity, or weakness. Strengthen his body to successfully endure his workload, and when he sleeps, may he wake up refreshed. I pray that he will have the desire to take care of his body, to eat the kind of food that brings health, to get regular exercise, and avoid anything that would be harmful to him. Help him to understand that his body is Your temple and he should care for it as such (1 Corinthians 3:16).
“I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you.”
—2 Kings 20:5
