A few months ago, I was dreaming.  In this dream there was a girl that was in trouble.  I don’t remember what the trouble was, but I know it touched my heart and made me pray.  In this dream, I prayed “God, please help her“.  I immediately woke up and praised God for another answered prayer.  Big revelation, God is even there for me in my dreams.  God is Good!

Part 1:

I went to The Call in Dallas several years ago.  Awesome, life changing experience.  They recommended a prayer for people around you, and my husband said I should ask for prayer, because I’m always hurting.  So I raised my hand and youth of multiple ages laid their hands on me and prayed.  I was the only one in the group that knew all of my aches and pains, but God also knows, doesn’t He?!!!  Anyway, after 2 long (really long) bus rides, I made it home feeling healthy.  Really a pleasant surprise for me. 

Part 2: 

My husband and I took a long fast walk while in Dallas to check out the sights.  I got a huge blister on the bottom of my foot, about the size of a quarter.  Everyone was jumping around, except for me.    Remember, the prayer from part 1?  The blister never popped, but the swelling went down, never pealed, and I never had a problem with it again.  Amen, thanks God, for anwered prayer!

I go to church regularily.  When I leave, I feel better.  Whether I have aches and pains, or worry, sadness, stress, fear …  Whatever I come in with, I lay it down at the feet of Jesus and it is replaced, by the power of God, with healing, peace, or joy, or whatever is needed.  God is good.

I had to skip church one Sunday a few years ago because my back was out.  It was so out - I was using a cane and still could barely move.  I was laying on my stomach with my head lifted, kinda stretching my lower back.  I was singing the song  Let the Peace of God Reign (The lyrics are below if you want to see them.)  I kept starting over because my mind would wander, and I really wanted to concentrate on the words, using them as a prayer.  When I finally got to the part “let your healing power bring life and make me whole”, my back popped back into place.  Wow, thanks God, what a miracle!  I had to hunt down the cane later because I walked away without it.  As a PS: it has never gone out that badly again, in many years, and it used to regularily. 

Here’s the lyrics:

Father of life draw me closer
Lord, my heart is set on you
Let me run the race of time
With your life unfolding mine
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit you’re my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

(Chorus)
Oh Lord I hunger for more of you
Rise up within me let me know your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And the peace of God
Let it reign

Oh Holy Spirit you’re my comfort
Strengthen me hold my head up high
And I stand upon your truth
Bringing glory unto you
And let the peace of God
Let it reign

(Repeat chorus twice)

And let the life of God
Fill me now
Let your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And the peace of God
Let it reign

(repeat)
