On the second night of training camp after worship we had a prayer tunnel, meaning people line up and pray for you as you walk through. While I was standing in line I could feel a kind of pressure on my heart. It was beating faster and faster as i got closer to the tunnel of people. Waiting in line my mind was going everywhere, getting distracted by every little movement and sound. Praying of surrender and letting go of all my fears of the road ahead, I then was the next to walk through. As soon as the leaders put their hands on me a wave of relief washed over me, like I was letting go and the Lord was taking over. My tears began to pour out like a waterfall. People prayed over me, some saw me as a grenade rolling into the room and exploding with light, someone else saw was me as a pounding heart beating life, at the same time a girl told me that the Lord was calling me tender heart. I was then embraced in the best hug I have every had in my life from one of my teammates, she told me that I was loved and that I was a daughter of God. Hearing that you aren’t an orphan any more , that you are accepted, loved, and apart of His kingdom really messes with your emotions. More tears pour out of me like never before. In that moment I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirt. I was filled up with love and peace and all the worry and fears that I had before were whisked away. Prayer is such a powerful thing and I think that sometimes we take it for granted, we have a opportunity to grow in our relationship by talking with God and sometime we looked past that. From now on I am choosing to be to more intentional and really work on my relationship with the Lord. To let go of my own desires and live for Him.
