A particular phone call last week delivered a huge blessing. I’d been praying for the friend who called me, as we had watched her outpatient surgery transform into a month-long hospital stay. Complications of infection and excruciating pain were at the forefront. How was all this happening? Yet we continued to pray. Then came her phone call. At a moment when I sat on the couch and had no idea the voice on the phone would be hers, I was amazed. Not surprised, but amazed to see how the Lord had been working all along. My friend’s voice now had energy, and I could hear her sense of humor. Through her days of heavy sedation and subsequent surgeries, the Lord had sustained my friend, and this was a remarkable milestone. … I love surprises. Better than that, I love to be amazed at the Lord. If the idea of prayer is new for you, Matthew 6 offers some insight. May the Lord give you an immense excitement for prayer. May He bless you to witness Him at work.
