"We want you to pray about where God wants your teams this month."
But honestly, I was nervous about this particular situation. I was unsure that God would actually guide the decision and that my desires would be left out of it.
I was told to pray about whether God wanted my team to work with mentally and physically disabled orphans or do outreach in the villages for the month.
No brainer right?
My comfort zone is kids and what better way than to love on children who live in a society where they are viewed as cursed…but God did not want me in my comfort zone.
When we began praying I began wresting…
i prayed for guidance.
i prayed to hear clearly from God.
i heard clearly.
Okay, God. I trust you.
I needed this month more than I thought I did.
We went to a different village every day and we got to share the love of God by just simply preaching the gospel with a few testimonies and Bible stories sprinkled in there…and we prayed.
When i say we prayed i mean we prayed for just about everyone we came in contact with. I struggled with this at first because I wanted to pray specifically for each person, but after the 30th prayer of blessing I felt like my words didn't mean anything anymore.
Sometimes i feel like i need a big note written in the clouds to be encouraged or know what to do, but all i really need is truth from God's word.
So God reminded me of this verse,
i believe that God hears my prayers.
i believe that prayer can change hearts and lives.
i believe that people will feel the love God has for them as i pray for them to know it.
i believe in prayer and its power.
