Have you ever had that nervous feeling, an uneasy sense in the pit of your stomach when something is wrong? The past few days I began feeling that way before going to bed- there were nights where I had trouble sleeping and could not shake it off. I kept asking God if He was convicting me of something, or if He was wanting to tell me something, but nothing came….
Then a couple nights later, this past Monday evening, I prayed with my roommate before going to bed. She prayed for God's peace and that I would have no trouble sleeping. Immediately after the light switched off, the Lord told me to get on my knees. "Uhh… here in my room?" I asked.
"Yes."
I got on my knees in my bed, my head to my mattress. Then the Lord told me,
"There is a woman right now overseas that is on her knees. She is in prison. Her name is Yin. I want you to pray for her right now and intercede for her."
WOW. I have no idea who this woman is and what she is going through. But I prayed for her that night and continue to do so each day. I looked up her name and it is of Chinese descent- China is our second country my squad is traveling to! Whether or not I ever meet her, I don't know. But I know that she will continue to be on my mind and in my prayers. If you think of it today, please be praying for her too as a fellow sister in Christ! You never know what could be happening to her right now… but we know that prayer is where everything starts and it is indeed POWERFUL and effective! 🙂
